Selecting one from radio group value and scrolling down and some item selected automatically in Recycler View( beginner)

I am making an attendance system where I take the attendance using RadioGroup with two options. When I select some radio button and scroll down some other radio button gets auto-selected. If I change them upper ones also get changed.

Your problem would be solved by making small changes to your Recycler view adapter, please do not disable recyclable property, this makes your recycler view a glorified list view.
I can see you tried using a sparse boolean array to hold the state of the radio buttons, that is good but you do not need that too. The idea behind using a Sparse boolean array is to keep the state of each item in the recycler view so that when they are recycled you still have a reference to what the state of each item is.
In your adapter you already have something that we can use to know the state, that is the attendance property of your model, in that case, you can set the state of your checkboxes by checking if the attendance property is present or absent.
One more thing about your code is that you are using the onCheckChangedListener as a click event handler for your radio button, you should not use this because it responds to all check changed events, even if it is triggered from code and not from user action, so when you bind your view and you set any of your radio buttons as checked or unchecked, it calls this callback.
Here is a modified version of your ViewHolder class that solves this issue by applying the solution above.
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView name;
public TextView roll;
public TextView previous;
RadioGroup radioAttendance;
RadioButton radioAttendancePresent, radioAttendanceAbsent;
public CardView card_view;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textViewAttendanceStudentName);
roll = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textViewAttendanceStudentRoll);
previous = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textViewAttendanceStudentPreviousStatus);
radioAttendance = itemView.findViewById(R.id.radioAttendance);
radioAttendancePresent = itemView.findViewById(R.id.radioAttendancePresent);
radioAttendanceAbsent = itemView.findViewById(R.id.radioAttendanceAbsent);
radioAttendancePresent.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
radioAttendancePresent.setChecked(true);
listItems.get(getAdapterPosition()).setAttendance("present");
}
});
radioAttendanceAbsent.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
radioAttendanceAbsent.setChecked(true);
listItems.get(getAdapterPosition()).setAttendance("absent");
}
});
}
void bind(int position) {
// use the sparse boolean array to check
if (listItems.get(position).getAttendance() != null) {
if (listItems.get(position).getAttendance().equals("present")) {
radioAttendancePresent.setChecked(true);
} else if (listItems.get(position).getAttendance().equals("absent")) {
radioAttendanceAbsent.setChecked(true);
}
} else {
radioAttendance.clearCheck();
}
name.setText(listItems.get(position).getName());
roll.setText(listItems.get(position).getRoll());
previous.setText(listItems.get(position).getPreviousAttendance());
}
}
Notice that we have separate click listener for each radio button and set the state in the list of items and just check that state when we are binding, also we have removed the onCheckChangedListener and the sparse boolean array, one last thing is that we made sure that when there is not state set for the attendance property, we just clear the radio buttons so that no one is selected the code is much simpler and works correctly now.

You have to initialize your RadioButton based on model state like below:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder (final AttendanceAdapter.ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
final AttendanceModel listItem = listItemsFiltered.get(position);
holder.name.setText(listItem.getName());
holder.roll.setText(listItem.getRoll());
holder.previous.setText(listItem.getPreviousAttendance());
final String id =listItem.getId();
final String class_id =listItem.getClassId();
holder.radioAttendance.setOnCheckedChangeListener(null);
if(listItem.getAttendance().equalsIgnoreCase("present")) {
radioAttendancePresent.setChecked(true);
} else {
radioAttendancePresent.setChecked(false);
}
//Add listener here and remove from holder
holder.radioAttendance.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioGroup.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int i) {
if(holder.radioAttendancePresent.isChecked()) {
listItemsFiltered.get(position).setAttendance("present");
} else {
listItemsFiltered.get(position).setAttendance("absent");
}
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
}

Insert data from Google Sheets into Listview

I'm developing an Android app using Google Sheets as a database.
I have information about books in a Google Sheet (title, author, cover, date, etc). I want to retrieve this information and show it in a "Listview" in the "Spreadsheets" Activity. I created a "BookItem" object and an "BookAdapter" adapter. In the "Spreadsheets.java" I have the read method, called "getDataFromApi()". I know that this method works, but I don't know how to adapt it to my "BookAdapter" and show the information on the ListView.
This is mi code:
public class BookItem {
static String title_item;
static Drawable cover_item; //probar con String
public BookItem(String title, Drawable cover){
super();
this.title_item = title;
this.cover_item = cover;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title_item;
}
public void setTitle(String title){
this.title_item = title;
}
public static Drawable getCover() {
return cover_item;
}
public void setCover(Drawable cover) {
this.cover_item = cover;}
This is my BookAdapter:
public class BookAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<BookItem> items;
List<BookItem> items;
private Context context;
public BookAdapter (Context context, List<BookItem> items) {
this.context = context;
this.items = items;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return items.size();
}
#Override
public BookItem getItem(int position) {
return this.items.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int i) {
return 0;
}
private static class ViewHolder {
public final ImageView cover_item;
public final TextView title_item;
public ViewHolder (ImageView cover_item, TextView title_item){
this.cover_item = cover_item;
this.title_item = title_item;
}
}
#Override
public View getView (int position, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
ImageView cover_item;
TextView title_item;
if (view == null) {
view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.fila_lista_miestanteria, viewGroup, false); //se mete aqui en getView por ser baseAdapter
title_item = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.book_title_item);
cover_item = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.book_cover_item);
view.setTag(R.id.book_title_item, title_item);
view.setTag(R.id.book_cover_item, cover_item);
}
else {
cover_item = (ImageView) view.getTag(R.id.book_cover_item);
title_item = (TextView)view.getTag(R.id.book_title_item);
}
BookItem bookItem = getItem(position);
cover_item.setImageDrawable(bookItem.getCover());
title_item.setText(bookItem.getTitle());
return view;
}

#Override

//mOutputText.setText("");
mProgress.show();
}
#Override

mProgress.hide();
if (output == null || output.size() == 0) {
// mOutputText.setText("No results returned.");
} else {
if(read_only.equals("no")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Spreadsheets.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
// mOutputText.setText("Se ha añadido un libro a su lista");
}
else {
System.out.println("VOY A RELLENAR LA LISTA");
rellenar();
}
}
}
#Override
protected void onCancelled() {
}
}
}
The "spread.xml" is a list, and the "fila_list_miestanteria.xml" is a TextView&ImageView to show the book info.
Thank you so much!

Recyclerview not working properly

I have created a program following all the steps that I found online. What it does is if I have a connection it sends a data to remote server and server responses OK if data entry is successful. My app works fine on saving data to the server side but it does not display on my recyclerview. But when I switch to airplane mode and try to send data to server, It displays on recyclerview that it failed but when it succeeds, it does not show up on recyclerview. Maybe you guys can help. I can't seem to find the error.

I am using a git repo called LikeButton, but the state of my button keeps jumping around in my recyclerview?

I am using a git repo called LikeButton, but the state of my button keeps jumping around in my recyclerview? Here is the repo https://github.com/jd-alexander/LikeButton. Basically when I click on a recyclerview item, it sets a textview to the word true or false based on if the user liked the post or not, and this works. However, the state of my button is doing some weird stuff, it jumps around...
Here is my Adapter, is their anything wrong with it?

you are currently only updating the textview which is why your recycleview changes state when scrolling.
Should change your voting class and pass the question Data rather textview
public Voting(int adapterPosition,final RecyclerView.Adapter adapter, TextView questionId, TextView studentVoted) {
change to
public Voting(int adapterPosition,final RecyclerView.Adapter adapter, QuestionData questionData, TextView studentVoted) {
// make other changes for the data
and then in
public void realTimeUpVoting(QuestionData questionData){
data.votes++ //something like that. idont know your model
// now call back using interface the recyleview data changed method so it updates the count in recycleview automatically.
Edit
passing the question Data in click button
class ViewDashboard extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public int position
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewDashboard holder, int position) {
holder.position = position
}
public void liked(LikeButton likeButton) {
QuestionData questionHolder = data.get(position);

Android YouTubeSupportFragment player returning null

I have been working on a personal Android project related to YouTube based off a demo, however I have ran into an issue that I can't seem to figure out (or understand).
The original code uses a basic PlayerView whereas this uses a YouTubePlayerSupportFragment.
The app plays videos just fine as long as player.cueVideo("VIDEOID") is inside onInitializationSuccess. But will crash with a NullPointerException on player variable if placed inside the method playVideoAtSelection.
** The original code had the following line inside onInitializationSuccess, however for me it's telling me that player cannot be resolved. **
I've never seen this used like this before so it has been throwing me off.
this.player = player;

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.android.youtube.MainActivity.playVideoAtSelection(MainActivity.java:132)
at com.android.youtube.MainActivity.onItemSelected(MainActivity.java:148)

You are getting NullPointerException because your player variable is not initialized. You have commented this line:
this.player = player;
And for the question what is this.player = player?
this refers to the current object
For example:
public class myClass{
int x;
public myClass(int x){
this.x = x;
}
}
In the above example, you have used this because, you want to assign value of x to the x(attribute of myClass).
PS: If you are confused with this you can easily do the following:
Change your variable name to something else, may be mPlayer
and change
this.player = player to mPlayer = player;
Edited:
You have declared the YouTubePlayer outside the class. Move it inside i.e. Before overriding onCreate(..) method.
Updated:
Since the player is not attribute of the class, it won't know what it is. This is similar to not declaring any variable.
