Android Studio RecyclerView wont show my data when i add toolbar at my `layout.xml` file

I created a page where it will show the firebase data in a RecyclerView. It work but I decided to put a toolbar at the top of the page to have a back function. After I put the toolbar in my layout file, the RecyclerView is not showing any data anymore. I think that my layout XML file is wrong. Thanks in advance for anyone helping.

Thanks to ZeePee for giving this link Display Back Arrow on Toolbar, although the toolbar didnt work for me, i change it back to actionbar and use the code from the link and it work.

Try adding horizontal constraints for Toolbar and Recycler View. After that you need to specify where do you want your single item widgets in Relative layout

How to add strings from editText to a listView

I have a MainActivity with a ListView and an add Button. When the user clicks the add Button it takes you to another activity the CreateActivity for you to enter in data or strings into the editText boxes. After that you click the create Button and it adds the strings to the ListView it shows up, but every time I try to add another item to the ListView it just overrides the first item and doesn't add on to the ListView.

every time you restart the MainActivity, it is be created, the onCreate method was executed .one method you can use the comment method：use startactivityforResult;
you can read this question how to manage startactivityforResult.the second method is to set MainActivity model to SingleInstance.

You are starting MainActivity over and over again, clearing all data previously loaded.
Try this solution
Main activity:
package com.example.brian.inventoryapp;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ListView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import static android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final int CREATE_REQUEST = 1;
private Button addButton;
private ListView itemListView;
private ArrayList<String> arrayList;
private ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
itemListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.itemListView);
addButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addButton);
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arrayList);
itemListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
addButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addButton);
addButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CreateActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, CREATE_REQUEST);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CREATE_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String item = data.getStringExtra("data");
arrayList.add(item);
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arrayList);
itemListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}
}
}
}
In your CreateActivity change createButton listener to this one:
createButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String item = "";
item = editTextItem.getText().toString().trim() +
editTextModel.getText().toString().trim() +
editTextSerial.getText().toString().trim() +
editTextID.getText().toString().trim();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("data", item);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
});

Yes it will assume as if the MainActivity is started for the first time so you should use startActivityForResult() method instead of startActivity().This will continue your MainActivity and do not override your list View.

How to use viewHolder to make listView user input not go back to default when scrolling off screen

I have a listView where a user can enter input to change the textView on each listView row. When you scroll the row off the screen the edited text goes away and the default text reappears. I know this is fixed with the viewHolder but I can't get it to work in my custom adapter class.

When text is entered into the edit text, you need to save it to a variable associated with that position, and in getView you need to set the text of the editText to that position's value. Otherwise you'll just have whatever random value was in there last.
Basically, any value that can change in a row's UI must be saved and written to it in getView.

i get the Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The content of the adapter has changed but ListView did not receive a notification

Here is my Java:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private ArrayList<String> items;
private ArrayAdapter<String> itemsAdapter;
private ListView lvItems;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//EditText
final EditText etTask = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etNewItem);
final String Task = etTask.getText().toString();
lvItems = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lvItems);
items = new ArrayList<String>();
itemsAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, items);
lvItems.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
items.add("First Item");
items.add("Second Item");
//Button
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
//Adding a Task
//OnClickListeners
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
items.add(etTask.getText().toString());
etTask.setText("");
}
});
}
}

Since you made a change to adapter after ListView was populated, Listview must be informed to repopulate the views with new values by calling notifydatasetchanged() on your adapter ie,
items.add(etTask.getText().toString());
((ArrayAdapter)lvItems.getAdapter()).notifydatasetchanged();
etTask.setText("");

TextView goes out of screen up and down

So I'm creating the custom dialog box which should appear after the required button is pressed. However, when the text is too long, the textView goes out of screen. I tried to find a solution for this, however unsuccessfully.
I hope you will help me, guys. Thanks.
Here is the xml code for the dialog box:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_dia"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textColor="#color/black"/>
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_back"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:text="#string/bck"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_gravity="left"/>
</LinearLayout>

//strongHeads.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

strongHeads.setText(text);

back.setOnClickListener(this);
