RecyclerView onClick

Question

Has anyone using RecyclerView found a way to set an onClickListener to items in the RecyclerView? I thought of setting a listener to each of the layouts for each item but that seems a little too much hassle I'm sure there is a way for the RecyclerView to listen for the onClick event but I can't quite figure it out.

Answer 1

Here is a better and less tightly coupled way to implement an OnClickListener for a RecyclerView.

Snippet of usage:

RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler);
recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(
    new RecyclerItemClickListener(context, recyclerView ,new RecyclerItemClickListener.OnItemClickListener() {
      @Override public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
        // do whatever
      }

      @Override public void onLongItemClick(View view, int position) {
        // do whatever
      }
    })
);

RecyclerItemClickListener implementation:

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;


public class RecyclerItemClickListener implements RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {
  private OnItemClickListener mListener;

  public interface OnItemClickListener {
    public void onItemClick(View view, int position);

    public void onLongItemClick(View view, int position);
  }

  GestureDetector mGestureDetector;

  public RecyclerItemClickListener(Context context, final RecyclerView recyclerView, OnItemClickListener listener) {
    mListener = listener;
    mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
            View child = recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
            if (child != null && mListener != null) {
                mListener.onLongItemClick(child, recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(child));
            }
        }
    });
}

  @Override public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent e) {
    View childView = view.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
    if (childView != null && mListener != null && mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {
      mListener.onItemClick(childView, view.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  }

  @Override public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent motionEvent) { }

  @Override
  public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent (boolean disallowIntercept){}
}

As the API's have radically changed, It wouldn't surprise me if you were to create an OnClickListener for each item. It isn't that much of a hassle though. In your implementation of RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder>, you should have:

private final OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new MyOnClickListener();

@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(final ViewGroup parent, final int viewType) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.myview, parent, false);
    view.setOnClickListener(mOnClickListener);
    return new MyViewHolder(view);
}

The onClick method:

@Override
public void onClick(final View view) {
    int itemPosition = mRecyclerView.getChildLayoutPosition(view);
    String item = mList.get(itemPosition);
    Toast.makeText(mContext, item, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Answer 3

I do it in this way, without undue classes, detectors etc. Simple code inside our adapter. Especially better solution for longClick than presented before.

public class PasswordAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<PasswordAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    private static ClickListener clickListener;

    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener, View.OnLongClickListener {
        TextView name;

        public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
            itemView.setOnLongClickListener(this);
            name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.card_name);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            clickListener.onItemClick(getAdapterPosition(), v);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            clickListener.onItemLongClick(getAdapterPosition(), v);
            return false;
        }
    }

    public void setOnItemClickListener(ClickListener clickListener) {
        PasswordAdapter.clickListener = clickListener;
    }

    public interface ClickListener {
        void onItemClick(int position, View v);
        void onItemLongClick(int position, View v);
    }
}

Then inside fragment or activity, just hit:

PasswordAdapter mAdapter = ...;

mAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new PasswordAdapter.ClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(int position, View v) {
        Log.d(TAG, "onItemClick position: " + position);
    }

    @Override
    public void onItemLongClick(int position, View v) {
        Log.d(TAG, "onItemLongClick pos = " + position);
    }
});

Check out a similar question @CommonsWare's comment links to this, which implements the OnClickListener interface in the viewHolder.

Here's a simple example of the ViewHolder:

    TextView textView;//declare global with in adapter class

public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {

      private ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
            textView = (TextView)view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);

      }

      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
            Toast.makeText(view.getContext(), "position = " + getLayoutPosition(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

         //go through each item if you have few items within recycler view
        if(getLayoutPosition()==0){
           //Do whatever you want here

        }else if(getLayoutPosition()==1){ 
           //Do whatever you want here         

        }else if(getLayoutPosition()==2){

        }else if(getLayoutPosition()==3){

        }else if(getLayoutPosition()==4){

        }else if(getLayoutPosition()==5){

        }

        //or you can use For loop if you have long list of items. Use its length or size of the list as 
        for(int i = 0; i<exampleList.size(); i++){

        }


      }
  }

The Adapter then looks like this:

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view =LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, parent, false);

        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }

Answer 5

Based on Jacob Tabak's answer (+1 for him), I was able to add onLongClick listener:

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;

public class RecyclerItemClickListener implements RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {
    public interface OnItemClickListener {
        void onItemClick(View view, int position);

        void onItemLongClick(View view, int position);
    }

    private OnItemClickListener mListener;

    private GestureDetector mGestureDetector;

    public RecyclerItemClickListener(Context context, final RecyclerView recyclerView, OnItemClickListener listener) {
        mListener = listener;

        mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
                View childView = recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());

                if (childView != null && mListener != null) {
                    mListener.onItemLongClick(childView, recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent e) {
        View childView = view.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());

        if (childView != null && mListener != null && mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {
            mListener.onItemClick(childView, view.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));
        }

        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {
    }
}

Then you can use it like this:

recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerItemClickListener(getActivity(), recyclerView, new RecyclerItemClickListener.OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
        // ...
    }

    @Override
    public void onItemLongClick(View view, int position) {
        // ...
    }
}));

Answer 6

This is what worked for me. Attach the OnClickListener to the onBindView. I don't really know if this will impact the performance, but it seems to work fine with little code.

public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
    holder.view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Toast.makeText(context, "Recycle Click" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
    });
}

Answer 7

This was so hard for me to have on item click listener in the activity and also to have click listener for single view of the item that will not trigger on item click listener. After playing around with Jacob Tabak's answer I respect his answer for on item click if no other touch actions inside item are presented.

I have a custom OnClickListener interface that have on item click event which holds the clicked item's view and the item position from the adapter. I present an instance of it in the constructor(or it can be with setter) and attach it to the view holder container click listener.

I also have other click listener in the Adapter(Can be in the view holder) which will handle current View click from the container.

 public class MyRecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder> {

private ArrayList<String> mData;
private OnItemClickListener mOnItemClickListener;

public interface OnItemClickListener {
    public void onItemClick(View view, int position);
}

public MyRecyclerAdapter(ArrayList<String> itemsData,
        OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener) {
    mOnItemClickListener = onItemClickListener;
    this.mData = itemsData;
}

@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
        int viewType) {

    View layoutView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(
            R.layout.list_item, parent, false);

    final MyViewHolder viewHolder = new MyViewHolder(layoutView);

    viewHolder.container.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mOnItemClickListener.onItemClick(v, viewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
        }
    });

    viewHоlder.button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //do button click work here with
            // mData.get( viewHolder.getAdapterPosition() );
        }
    });

    return viewHolder;
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return mData.size();
}}

In the activity you need to initialize the adapter by passing instance of the OnItemClickListener

public class FeedActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    ...

    RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);

    .....

    MyRecyclerAdapter adapter = new MyRecyclerAdapter(new ArrayList<String>(), new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {

            ///list item was clicked
        }
    });

    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    recyclerView.setAdapter(mFeedsAdapter);
}

And my ViewHolder

public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

public Button button;
public View container;

public MyViewHolder(View itemLayoutView) {
    super(itemLayoutView);

    container = itemLayoutView;
    button = (Button) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.button);
}}

Answer 8

This is what I ended up needing, in case someone finds it useful:

public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    public ViewHolder(View item) {

        super(item);
        item.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.d("RecyclerView", "onClick：" + getAdapterPosition());
            }
        });

    }
}

Answer 9

I have nice solution for RecyclerView's onItemClickListener for the items and subitems

Step 1- Create an interface

public interface OnRecyclerViewItemClickListener
{
    /**
     * Called when any item with in recyclerview or any item with in item
     * clicked
     * 
     * @param position
     *            The position of the item
     * @param id
     *            The id of the view which is clicked with in the item or
     *            -1 if the item itself clicked
     */
    public void onRecyclerViewItemClicked(int position, int id);
}

Step 2- Then use it in adapter's onBindViewHolder method in the following way

/**
     * Custom created method for Setting the item click listener for the items and items with in items
     * @param listener OnRecyclerViewItemClickListener 
     */
    public void setOnItemClickListener(OnRecyclerViewItemClickListener listener)
    {
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, final int position)
    {
    
        // viewHolder.albumBg.setBackgroundResource(_itemData[position]
        // .getImageUrl());
    
        viewHolder.albumName.setText(arrayList.get(position).getName());
        viewHolder.artistName.setText(arrayList.get(position).getArtistName());
        String imgUrl = arrayList.get(position).getThumbImageUrl();
    
        makeImageRequest(imgUrl, viewHolder);
        viewHolder.parentView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
    
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                listener.onRecyclerViewItemClicked(position, -1);
            }
        });
        viewHolder.settingButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
    
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                listener.onRecyclerViewItemClicked(position, v.getId());
            }
        });
    
    }
    
    // class to hold a reference to each item of RecyclerView
    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
    {
    
        public TextView albumName, artistName;
        public ImageView albumIcon, settingButton;
        public LinearLayout parentView;
    
        public ViewHolder(View itemLayoutView)
        {
            super(itemLayoutView);
            // albumBg = (LinearLayout) itemLayoutView
            // .findViewById(R.id.albumDlbg);
            albumName = (TextView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.albumName);
            artistName = (TextView) itemLayoutView
                    .findViewById(R.id.artistName);
            albumIcon = (ImageView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.albumIcon);
            parentView = (LinearLayout) itemLayoutView
                    .findViewById(R.id.albumDlbg);
            settingButton = (ImageView) itemLayoutView
                    .findViewById(R.id.settingBtn);
        }
    
    }

Step 3- find and setup recycler view in activity or fragment where you are using this

recyclerView = (RecyclerView) rootview.findViewById(R.id.vmtopsongs);

        lm = new LinearLayoutManager(mActivity);
        lm.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(lm);
        recyclerView.addItemDecoration(
                new HorizontalDividerItemDecoration.Builder(getActivity())
                        .paint(Utils.getPaint()).build());
        PopularSongsadapter mAdapter = new PopularSongsadapter(gallery,
                mActivity, true);
        // set adapter
        recyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        mAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(this);
        // set item animator to DefaultAnimator
        recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());

Step 4- Finally implement interface in activity or fragment where you are using the recyclerview

@Override
    public void onRecyclerViewItemClicked(int position, int id)
    {
        if(id==-1){
            Toast.makeText(mActivity, "complete item clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }else{
            Toast.makeText(mActivity, "setting button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }

Update for Kotlin Language I have updated the code for kotlin in which only whole view has on click listener. You can set subitems click listener by editing interface and code according to above java code.

Adapter

class RecentPostsAdapter(private val list: MutableList<Post>) :
    RecyclerView.Adapter<RecentPostsAdapter.ViewHolder>() {
    private lateinit var onItemClickListener: OnItemClickListener

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
        return ViewHolder(
            LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
                .inflate(R.layout.listitem_recent_post, parent, false)
        )
    }

    override fun getItemCount(): Int {
        return list.size
    }

    fun setOnItemClickListener(onItemClickListener: OnItemClickListener) {
        this.onItemClickListener = onItemClickListener
    }

    private fun getItem(position: Int): Post {
        return list[position]
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
        holder.bind(getItem(position))
        holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {
            onItemClickListener.onItemClick(
                position
            )
        })
    }

    class ViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
        private var imageView: NetworkImageView? = null
        private var tvTitle: TextView? = null
        private var tvExcerpt: TextView? = null
        private var htmlSpanner: HtmlSpanner = HtmlSpanner()

        init {
            imageView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.niv_post_image)
            tvTitle = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_post_title)
            tvExcerpt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_post_excerpt)
        }

        fun bind(post: Post) {
            tvTitle?.text = post.title
            tvExcerpt?.text = htmlSpanner.fromHtml(post.excerpt)
        }
    }

    interface OnItemClickListener {
        fun onItemClick(position: Int)
    }
}

Activity or Fragment

recyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.rvHomeRecentPosts)
        recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(view.context)
        list = mutableListOf()
        recentPostsAdapter = RecentPostsAdapter(list)
        recyclerView.adapter = recentPostsAdapter
        recentPostsAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(object:RecentPostsAdapter.OnItemClickListener{
            override fun onItemClick(position: Int) {
                (activity as MainActivity).findNavController(R.id.nav_host_fragment).navigate(R.id.action_nav_home_to_nav_post_detail)
            }

        })

Answer 10

Here is what I did. This solution supports both onClick and onLongClick on both RecyclerView Items and Views insides RecyclerView Items (internal views).

I tag viewHolder on the views of my choice :

public RecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.layout_item, null);
    ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(itemView);

    itemView.setOnClickListener( this);
    itemView.setOnLongClickListener(this);
    viewHolder.imageIV.setOnClickListener(this);
    viewHolder.imageIV.setOnLongClickListener(this);

    viewHolder.imageIV.setTag(viewHolder);
    itemView.setTag(viewHolder);

    return viewHolder;
}

And I use holder.getPosition() to retrieve the position in onClick() method (onLongClick is similar) :

public void onClick(View view) {
    ViewHolder holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    int position = holder.getPosition();

    if (view.getId() == holder.imageIV.getId()){
        Toast.makeText(context, "imageIV onClick at" + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(context, "RecyclerView Item onClick at " + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

A variant with getChildPosition also works. Please note that for the internal views, in onClick() use :

int position = recyclerView.getChildPosition((View)view.getParent());

To my mind, the avantage of this solution is that when one clicks on the image, only the onclick() image listener is called whereas when I combined Jacob's solution for a RecyclerView Item view and my solution for internal views the RecyclerView Item view onclick() is also called (when click on image).

Answer 11

There is far easier way to do this. Just apply on click in onBindViewHolder on root view.

Consider this is your view for adapter,

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/linearlayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textview"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
            android:textSize="15sp" />
</LinearLayout>

Then do following in your adapter

//get the layout and make view holder
@Override
public RVAdapter.ViewHolder1 onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.adapter_layout, null);
    ViewHolder1 viewHolder = new ViewHolder1(view);
    return viewHolder;
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RVAdapter.ViewHolder1 holder, int position) {

    //apply on click on your root view
    holder.linearlayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //Do on click stuff
        }
    });
}

//make references to views in layout including root view
public class ViewHolder1 extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    protected LinearLayout linearlayout = null
    protected TextView textview = null;

    public CareerLinksViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);

        this.linearlayout = (LinearLayout) itemView.findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);
        this.tvCompName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textview);
    }
}

Answer 12

You can pass a clickListener to Adapter.

In your Activity:

private View.OnClickListener mItemClick = new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent = null;
        int position = list.getChildPosition(v);
        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, LeakCanaryActivity.class);
                break;
            case 1:
                intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ButterKnifeFragmentActivity.class);
                break;
        }
        if (intent != null) {
            MainActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
};

then pass it to Adapter:

MainAdapter mainAdapter = new MainAdapter(this, mItemClick);

In Adapter's onCreateViewHolder:

 @Override
public MainAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int position) {
    View itemView = activity.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.main_adapter_item, viewGroup, false);
    ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder(itemView);
    itemView.setOnClickListener(mItemClick);
    return holder;
}

Answer 13

You can implement OnClickListener to your ViewHolder class

public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        public Item item
        @InjectView(R.id.tv_title)
        public TextView tvTitle;
        @InjectView(R.id.rl_row)
        public RelativeLayout rlRow;

        public ViewHolder(View v) {
            super(v);
            ButterKnife.inject(this, v);
            v.setOnClickListener(this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Log.e("item title",item.getTitle());
        }
    }

And onBindViewHolder set your view holder's item

public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        holder.tvTitle.setText(objects.get(position).getTitle());
        holder.item = objects.get(position);
        }

Answer 14

If you want to catch click event On Individual items then just implement OnClickListener in ViewHolder class and then set click listeners on individual views or whole itemView.

Following example shows the same

public  class ContactViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener
    {
        TextView txt_title,txt_name,txt_email;

        public ContactViewHolder(View itemView) 
        {
            super(itemView);
            txt_title = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txt_title);
            txt_name  = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txt_name);
            txt_email = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txt_email);

            txt_name.setOnClickListener(this);
            txt_email.setOnClickListener(this);
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            if(v == itemView)
            {
                Toast.makeText(RecyclerDemoActivity.this, "Visiting Card Clicked is ==>"+txt_name.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            if(v == txt_name)
            {
                Toast.makeText(RecyclerDemoActivity.this, "Name ==>"+txt_name.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            if(v == txt_email)
            {
                Toast.makeText(RecyclerDemoActivity.this, "Email ==>"+txt_email.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }

    }
} 

Answer 15

Way too simple and effective.

Instead of implementing interface View.OnClickListener inside view holder or creating and interface and implementing interface in your activity - I used this code for simple on OnClickListener implementation.

public static class SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter
            extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {

        // Your initializations goes here...
        private List<String> mValues;

        public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

            //create a variable mView
            public final View mView;

            /*All your row widgets goes here
            public final ImageView mImageView;
            public final TextView mTextView;*/

            public ViewHolder(View view) {
                super(view);
                //Initialize it here
                mView = view;

                /* your row widgets initializations goes here
                mImageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.avatar);
                mTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);*/
            }
        }

        public String getValueAt(int position) {
            return mValues.get(position);
        }

        public SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, List<String> items) {

            mBackground = mTypedValue.resourceId;
            mValues = items;
        }

        @Override
        public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
            View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                    .inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
            view.setBackgroundResource(mBackground);
            return new ViewHolder(view);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
            holder.mBoundString = mValues.get(position);
            holder.mTextView.setText(mValues.get(position));

            //Here it is simply write onItemClick listener here
            holder.mView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Context context = v.getContext();
                    Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);

                    context.startActivity(intent);
                }
            });
        }

        @Override
        public int getItemCount() {
            return mValues.size();
        }
    }

Answer 16

I have developed a light weighted library for android, you can visit https://github.com/ChathuraHettiarachchi/RecycleClick

and follow for following sample

RecycleClick.addTo(YOUR_RECYCLEVIEW).setOnItemClickListener(new RecycleClick.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v) {
                // YOUR CODE
            }
        });

Answer 17

All the answers posted so far are great solutions, however if you do not want to deal with too many implementation details, and just want it to work similarly to how ListView does, I would recommend using TwoWay-View, as seen here:

https://github.com/lucasr/twoway-view

Note that this implementation also supports long press on items, as well as support for pressed states (which is something important that other solutions to this question lack).

If you don't want to use the entire library, take a look at the ClickItemTouchListener class, which can be used as a standalone if needed. The only issue I found with it at the moment is with long press + scrolling, it seems to have incorrect behaviour.

Answer 18

For me, this is the best way:

class YourRecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ContactViewHolder> implements View.OnClickListener { 
  ...
  @Override
  public void onClick(View view) {
        int itemPosition = vRecycle.getChildPosition(view);
        //And use itemPosition to get the item from your collection. This way you dont restrain the ViewHolder with a OnClick callback
    }
  ...
}

Answer 19

The RecyclerView does not have a OnClickListener and will have to implement it ourselves.

I like to add a OnItemClickListener interface in Adapter with an onClick method invoked when you click on the item view from the ViewHolder. Thus the responsibility of managing the click on an item is outside the ViewHolder and Adapter. Will the activity or fragment which will decide what to do

Add an interface to the listener and the listener object.

public class ItemsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ItemsAdapter.ViewHolder> {

  ...

  private static OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener;

  ...

  public static interface OnItemClickListener {
      public void onItemClick(View view, int position);
  }

  ...
}

We capture the click of the root view of the item and when the callback is triggered onClick listener call on the adapter .

public class ItemsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ItemsAdapter.ViewHolder> {

  ...

  private static OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener;

  ...

  public static interface OnItemClickListener {
      public void onItemClick(View view, int position);
  }

  ...

  public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
      public ImageView imageView;

      public ViewHolder(View itemRootView) {
          super(itemRootView);
          imageView = (ImageView) itemRootView.findViewById(R.id.itemImage);

          itemRootView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View view) {
                  int position  = ViewHolder.super.getAdapterPosition();
                  onItemClickListener.onItemClick(view,position);
              }
          });
      }
  }
}

Since the activity or fragment , fragment in our case , we assign a listener to the adapter and the onClick callback we will get the selected item by position and opened a detailed activity of item.

public class ItemsFragment extends Fragment {
    ...
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       ...    
        ((ItemsAdapter) adapter).setOnItemClickListener(new ItemsAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
                //Do something when an item has been clicked
            }
        });
        ...
    }
...
}

Answer 21

Unfortunately RecyclerView is missing a couple of features that ListView had built-in. For example the ability to add an OnItemClickListener that triggers when an item is clicked. RecyclerView allows you to set an OnClickListener in your adapter, but passing on that click listener from your calling code, to the adapter and to the ViewHolder, is complicated for catching a simple item click.

public class ItemClickSupport {
private final RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private OnItemClickListener mOnItemClickListener;
private OnItemLongClickListener mOnItemLongClickListener;
private View.OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (mOnItemClickListener != null) {
            RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = mRecyclerView.getChildViewHolder(v);
            mOnItemClickListener.onItemClicked(mRecyclerView, holder.getAdapterPosition(), v);
        }
    }
};
private View.OnLongClickListener mOnLongClickListener = new View.OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        if (mOnItemLongClickListener != null) {
            RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = mRecyclerView.getChildViewHolder(v);
            return mOnItemLongClickListener.onItemLongClicked(mRecyclerView, holder.getAdapterPosition(), v);
        }
        return false;
    }
};
private RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener mAttachListener
        = new RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onChildViewAttachedToWindow(View view) {
        if (mOnItemClickListener != null) {
            view.setOnClickListener(mOnClickListener);
        }
        if (mOnItemLongClickListener != null) {
            view.setOnLongClickListener(mOnLongClickListener);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onChildViewDetachedFromWindow(View view) {

    }
};

private ItemClickSupport(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
    mRecyclerView = recyclerView;
    mRecyclerView.setTag(R.id.item_click_support, this);
    mRecyclerView.addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(mAttachListener);
}

public static ItemClickSupport addTo(RecyclerView view) {
    ItemClickSupport support = (ItemClickSupport) view.getTag(R.id.item_click_support);
    if (support == null) {
        support = new ItemClickSupport(view);
    }
    return support;
}

public static ItemClickSupport removeFrom(RecyclerView view) {
    ItemClickSupport support = (ItemClickSupport) view.getTag(R.id.item_click_support);
    if (support != null) {
        support.detach(view);
    }
    return support;
}

public ItemClickSupport setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener listener) {
    mOnItemClickListener = listener;
    return this;
}

public ItemClickSupport setOnItemLongClickListener(OnItemLongClickListener listener) {
    mOnItemLongClickListener = listener;
    return this;
}

private void detach(RecyclerView view) {
    view.removeOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(mAttachListener);
    view.setTag(R.id.item_click_support, null);
}

public interface OnItemClickListener {

    void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v);
}

public interface OnItemLongClickListener {

    boolean onItemLongClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v);
}
}

You also need to define R.id.item_click_support using ids.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources>
  <item name="item_click_support" type="id" />
 </resources>

The resulting code click listener now looks like this:

ItemClickSupport.addTo(mRecyclerView).setOnItemClickListener(new ItemClickSupport.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v) {
    // do it
}
});

For Brief Explanation about recyclerview clicks please have a look at this littlerobots_blog

Answer 22

you can easily define setOnClickListener in your ViewHolder class as follow :

public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    TextView product_name;

    ViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        product_name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.product_name);
        itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                int itemPosition = getLayoutPosition();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), itemPosition + ":" + String.valueOf(product_name.getText()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }
}

Answer 24

From most of the answers above, they seem to be setting their onclicklisteners to individual items. However, the solution am about to offer is very simple but yet not intuitive to many. Many are forgetting that the other components are always in a parent component which is used to display items in the List or Recycler views. This solution is just about setting a single onclick listener to this parent view and the turn is played. The solution also includes a way to pass the position of the item being clicked on from the list or recycler view. Here, our main rootview is a CardView from the android support library. Here is sample code

public class ListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ListAdapter.ViewHolder> {

public static final String LOG_TAG = ListAdapter.class.getSimpleName();
private Cursor mDataset;
private Context mContext;
private ViewHolder mViewHolder;

// Provide a suitable constructor (depends on the kind of dataset)
public ListAdapter(Context context, Cursor Dataset) {
    mDataset = Dataset;
    mContext = context;
}

// Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

    // create a new view
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
            .inflate(R.layout.list_business_view, parent, false);

    mViewHolder = new ViewHolder(v);
    return mViewHolder;
}

public void setData(Cursor newdata) {
    this.mDataset = newdata;
}

// Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
//Bind data to other items here. To save time, i have ommited that.
           //here is where we attach a click listerner for an item in the recycler list rather than for each element of a given item.
            holder.card.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(mContext, " Just cliked item at position " + itemPosition, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            }
        });

    }
}

// Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    if (null != mDataset) {
        return mDataset.getCount();
    }
    return 0;

}


// Provide a reference to the views for each data item
// Complex data items may need more than one view per item, and
// you provide access to all the views for a data item in a view holder
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
    // each data item is just a string in this case
    public final TextView mBusinesssName; // View for the business name
    public final TextView mBusinessCategory; //View for the category name
    public final ImageView businessImage; // View for the business category image Image
    public final TextView mBusinessDistance; // View for the distance
    public final CardView card;

    public ViewHolder(View view) {
        super(view);
        mBusinesssName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_name_textview);
        mBusinessCategory = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_category_textview);
        mBusinessDistance = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_dist_textview);
        businessImage = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_item_icon);
        card = (CardView) view.findViewById(R.id.card_view);

    }
}
}

Answer 25

here is complete code for my custom adapter this code will inflate the rows with list items defined in the xml file named "list_item" it will also perform click event on all list items rows with respective positions.

public class MyCustomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter`<`AdapterMyCustomAdapter.ViewHolder> {

    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener {
        public onItemClickListener mListener;
        public ViewHolder(View v, onItemClickListener listener) {
            super(v);
            mListener =listener;
            v.setOnClickListener(this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mListener.onRecyclerItemClick(v, getPosition());
        }

        public static interface onItemClickListener {
            public void onRecyclerItemClick(View view , int position);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return 5;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int pos) {      

    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int position) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                .inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);

    /* here list_item is an xml file we want to inflate ...it is same as we do in case of listview for customization.*/

        MyCustomAdapter.ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v, new MyCustomAdapter.ViewHolder.onItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onRecyclerItemClick(View view, int position) {
                System.out.println("clicked on list item at position " +position);
            } 
        });
        return vh;
    }
}

Answer 26

I'm aware there are a lot of answers, but I thought I might just provide my implementation of it as well. (Full details can be found on another question I answered).

So, to add a click listener, your inner ViewHolder class needs to implement View.OnClickListener. This is because you will set an OnClickListener to the itemView parameter of the ViewHolder's constructor. Let me show you what I mean:

public class ExampleClickViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {

    TextView text1, text2;

    ExampleClickViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);

        // we do this because we want to check when an item has been clicked:
        itemView.setOnClickListener(this);

        // now, like before, we assign our View variables
        title = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text1);
        subtitle = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text2);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // The user may not set a click listener for list items, in which case our listener
        // will be null, so we need to check for this
        if (mOnEntryClickListener != null) {
            mOnEntryClickListener.onEntryClick(v, getLayoutPosition());
        }
    }
}

The only other things you need to add are a custom interface for your Adapter and a setter method:

private OnEntryClickListener mOnEntryClickListener;

public interface OnEntryClickListener {
    void onEntryClick(View view, int position);
}

public void setOnEntryClickListener(OnEntryClickListener onEntryClickListener) {
    mOnEntryClickListener = onEntryClickListener;
}

So your new, click-supporting Adapter is complete.

Now, let's use it...

    ExampleClickAdapter clickAdapter = new ExampleClickAdapter(yourObjects);
    clickAdapter.setOnEntryClickListener(new ExampleClickAdapter.OnEntryClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onEntryClick(View view, int position) {
            // stuff that will happen when a list item is clicked
        }
    });

It's basically how you would set up a normal Adapter, except that you use your setter method that you created to control what you will do when your user clicks a particular list item.

You can also look through a set of examples I made on this Gist on GitHub:

Answer 27

public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public TextView title, year, genre;

        public MyViewHolder(View view) {
            super(view);
            title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.title);
            genre = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.genre);
            year = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.year);
            view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(context, ""+getAdapterPosition(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });
        }
    }

Answer 28

We can do this using Java weak references. Semantically, the view holder is the one that should respond to the click event or delegate it to the correct responder.

Our goals:

1. The Viewholder should know nothing about the the class thats responding to the events except that it implements a certain interface.
2. The click handler should get the position in the RecyclerView of the view thats clicked.
3. We should be able to discern which view was clicked in the view holder.
4. Maintain loose coupling between all components and don't cause any retain cycles.

Steps:

1. Create an interface to handle click responses.

2. Implement this interface in the Activity that will handle the click.

3. Add a member variable in the RecyclerView Adapter to hold the Weak Reference and a constructor that sets it.

4. Do the same in the RecyclerView ViewHolder and add a member variable to keep track of position.

5. Set your on click listeners on any view you'd like in the ViewHolder, then callback to the responder to handle them.

6. Change your onBindViewHolder method to set the position when binding.

7. Pass the responder down to the ViewHolder.

8. In the responder, you can now use getId() on the view to figure out which view was clicked.

And here's a Gist so you can see how it all fits together: RecyclerView click handling

Answer 29

For me the clean way to do that is this one.

Adapter constructor

private class EnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<EnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder>
{
     private final EnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener mEnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener;
     private List<Environment> mEnvironmentsData;

     public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener
     {
         public ViewHolder(View v)
         {
             super(v);
             v.setOnClickListener(this);

         }

         @Override
         public void onClick(View v)
         {
              Environment environment = mEnvironmentsData.get(getAdapterPosition());
              if (mEnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener != null && environment != null) {
                      mEnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener.onListItemSelected(environment);      
              }
        }

        public EnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapter(List<SmallCellEnvironment> environments, EnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener environmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener)
        {
            mEnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener = environmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener;
            mEnvironmentsData = environments;
        }
}

The Linked Interface

private interface EnvironmentTypeRecyclerViewAdapterListener
{
    void onListItemSelected(Environment environment);
}

Answer 30

This is what I do to reuse OnClickListener

  public class TestAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<TestAdapter.MyviewHolder>
                                         implements View.OnClickListener

in ViewHoder Take itemlayout's parent

  public class MyviewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

       LinearLayout linearLayout_item;

        public MyviewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            linearLayout_item=itemView.findViewById(R.id.linearLayout_item);
        }
    }

in onBindViewHolder set tag as position

   @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(MyviewHolder holder, int position) {

       holder.linearLayout_item.setTag(position);
       holder.linearLayout_item.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

and in Onclick

 @Override
public void onClick(View v) {

    int position = (int) v.getTag();
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.linearLayout_item:

            // do some thing with position 

            break;
    }
}

Answer 31

In kotlin with constructor implementation

Initialize your Recyclerview constructor like below

class ListAdapter(
c: Context,
private var list: List<Project>,
private val itemClick: (Project) -> Unit
) : RecyclerView.Adapter<ListAdapter.ViewHolder>() 

return with itemClick in your onCreateViewHolder

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int):ProjectViewHolder {
    val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false)
    return ViewHolder(view, itemClick)
}

Your onBindViewHolder

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
    holder.bindProject(list[position])
}

Then with viewHolder class create bindProject function.

class ViewHolder(
    view: View,
    private val itemClick: (Project) -> Unit
) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {

    private val clientTextCount = 7

    val titleTextView: TextView = view.projectTitleTextView

    fun bindProject(project: Project) {
        with(project) {
            titleTextView.text = name
            itemView.setOnClickListener { itemClick(this) }
        }
    }
}

Finally in your activity initialize adapter with lazy

private val adapter: ListAdapter by lazy {
    ListAdapter(this, projectList, {
        // Here you can implement your onClick function.
    })
}

For adding new list to recyclerview initialize below method in your adapter

fun setProjects(projects: List<Project>) {
        projectList = projects
        notifyDataSetChanged()
    }

and call setProjects method anywhere in your activity.

adapter.setProjects(projects)

That's it.

Answer 32

Add an interface in your adapter class.

public interface SelectedUser{

    void selectedUser(UserModel userModel);

}

implement your interface in the mainactivity and overide selectedUser method.

@Override
public void selectedUser(UserModel userModel) {

    startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SelectedUserActivity.class).putExtra("data",userModel));

}

Answer 33

Try this, simple enough. It works for me. BTW, I found that setOnClickListener doesn't take effect for recycler view.

    recycler.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                // anything todo
            }
            return true;
        }
    });

Answer 34

Here is simple and clear way is add inside your ReacyclerView ViewHolder

public static class MyViewholder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    public MyViewholder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);

        itemView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.d("Tag", "onClick：" + getAdapterPosition());
            }
        });

    }
}

getAdapterPosition() is returns the current clicked item position

Answer 35

According to Yigit Boyar, the best way to register a click on a RecyclerView is to define the click in the creation of the viewholder instead of just creating a new onClickListener for each item that the onBindViewHolder binds

Example

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): BaseViewHolder<*> {
        val itemBinding = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.my_layout, parent, false)
        val vh = MainViewHolder(itemBinding)

        vh.itemView.setOnClickListener {
            val pos = vh.adapterPosition
            if(pos != NO_POSITION){
                itemClickLister.onCocktailClick(myList[pos],pos)
            }
        }
    return vh
}

Answer 36

Mark the class as abstract and implement an OnClick method

public abstract class MainGridAdapter extends
    RecyclerView.Adapter<MainGridAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<MainListItem> mDataset;

// Provide a reference to the views for each data item
// Complex data items may need more than one view per item, and
// you provide access to all the views for a data item in a view holder
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    // each data item is just a string in this case
    public TextView txtHeader;
    public TextView txtFooter;

    public ViewHolder(View v) {
        super(v);
        txtHeader = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.firstLine);
        txtFooter = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.secondLine);
    }
}

public void add(int position, MainListItem item) {
    mDataset.add(position, item);
    notifyItemInserted(position);
}

public void remove(MainListItem item) {
    int position = mDataset.indexOf(item);
    mDataset.remove(position);
    notifyItemRemoved(position);
}

// Provide a suitable constructor (depends on the kind of dataset)
public MainGridAdapter(List<MainListItem> myDataset) {
    mDataset = myDataset;
}

// Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public MainGridAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
        int viewType) {
    // create a new view
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(
            R.layout.list_item_grid_line, parent, false);
    // set the view's size, margins, paddings and layout parameters
    ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v);
    return vh;
}

// Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
    // - get element from your dataset at this position
    // - replace the contents of the view with that element     
    OnClickListener clickListener = new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            onItemClicked(position);
        }
    };
    holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
    holder.txtHeader.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
    holder.txtFooter.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
    final MainListItem item = mDataset.get(position);
    holder.txtHeader.setText(item.getTitle());
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(item.getDescription())) {
        holder.txtFooter.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    } else {
        holder.txtFooter.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        holder.txtFooter.setText(item.getDescription());
    }
}

// Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return mDataset.size();
}

public abstract void onItemClicked(int position);

}

Implement click handler in binding event to only have one event implementation

Implementation of this:

mAdapter = new MainGridAdapter(listItems) {         
    @Override
    public void onItemClicked(int position) {
        showToast("Item Clicked: " + position, ToastPlus.STYLE_INFO);
    }
};

Same can be done for long click

Answer 37

Here is my Code Snippet

v.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) 
        {
            int newposition = MainActivity.mRecyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(v);
            Intent cardViewIntent = new Intent(c, in.itechvalley.cardviewexample.MainActivityCards.class);
            cardViewIntent.putExtra("Position", newposition);
            c.startActivity(cardViewIntent);
        }
    });

v is View from onCreateViewHolder

c is Context

Answer 38

Here is a strategy that gives a result similar to the ListView implementation in that you can define the listener in the Activity or Fragment level instead of the Adapter or ViewHolder level. It also defines some abstract classes that take care of a lot of the boilerplate work of adapters and holders.

Abstract Classes

First, define an abstract Holder that extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder and defines a generic data type, T, used to bind data to the views. The bindViews method will be implemented by a subclass to map data to the views.

public abstract class Holder<T> extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    T data;

    public Holder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
    }

    public void bindData(T data){
        this.data = data;
        bindViews(data);
    }

    abstract protected void bindViews(T data);
}

Also, create an abstract Adapter that extends RecyclerView.Adapter<Holder<T>>. This defines 2 of the 3 interface methods, and a subclass will need to implement the last, onViewHolderCreated method.

public abstract class Adapter<T> extends RecyclerView.Adapter<Holder<T>> {
    List<T> list = new ArrayList<>();

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(Holder<T> holder, int position) {
        holder.bindData(list.get(position));
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return list.size();
    }

    public T getItem(int adapterPosition){
        return list.get(adapterPosition);
    }
}

---

Concrete Classes

Now create a new concrete class that extends Holder. This method only has to define the Views and handle the binding. Here I'm using the ButterKnife library, but feel free to use itemView.findViewById(...) methods instead.

public class PersonHolder extends Holder<Person>{
    @Bind(R.id.firstname) TextView firstname;
    @Bind(R.id.lastname) TextView lastname;

    public PersonHolder(View view){
        super(view);
        ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
    }

    @Override
    protected void bindViews(Person person) {
        firstname.setText(person.firstname);
        lastname.setText(person.lastname);
    }
}

Finally, in your Activity or Fragment class that holds the RecyclerView you would have this code:

// Create adapter, this happens in parent Activity or Fragment of RecyclerView
adapter = new Adapter<Person>(){
    @Override
    public PersonHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                    .inflate(R.layout.layout_person_view, parent, false);

        PersonHolder holder = new PersonHolder(v);
        v.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                int itemPos = holder.getAdapterPosition();
                Person person = getItem(itemPos);

                // do something with person
                EventBus.getDefault().postSticky(new PersonClickedEvent(itemPos, person));
            }
        });

        return holder;
    }
};

Answer 39

Very simple, add this class:

public class OnItemClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
    private int position;
    private OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback;

    public OnItemClickListener(int position, OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback) {
        this.position = position;
        this.onItemClickCallback = onItemClickCallback;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        onItemClickCallback.onItemClicked(view, position);
    }

    public interface OnItemClickCallback {
        void onItemClicked(View view, int position);
    }
}

Get an instance of 'OnItemClickCallback' interface and put it in your activity or fragment:

private OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback = new OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClicked(View view, int position) {
    }
};

Then, pass that callback to your recyclerView:

recyclerView.setAdapter(new SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter(Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3"), onItemClickCallback));

Finally, this would be your adapter:

public class SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    private List<String> mValues;
    private OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback;

    public SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter(List<String> items, OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback) {
        mValues = items;
        this.onItemClickCallback = onItemClickCallback;
    }

    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public final TextView mTextView;

        public ViewHolder(View view) {
            super(view);
            mTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txt_title);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
        holder.mTextView.setText(mValues.get(position));
        holder.mTextView.setOnClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(position, onItemClickCallback));
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return mValues.size();
    }
}

Answer 40

Usually you have more than one element in your CardView, so that you need an layout view to wrap and organize them.
You can add an OnClickListener to that layout view.
1. Add an id to your layout. In this case a LinearLayout

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
 .....>

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/card_view_linearLayout">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="name"
            android:id="@+id/card_view_name" />

        ...

    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

$ 2. Get the layout view in your inner ViewHolder class.

public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
    private TextView nameView;
    ...
    private LinearLayout linearLayout;
    public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        nameView = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.card_view_name);
        ...
        linearLayout = (LinearLayout)itemView.findViewById(R.id.card_view_linearLayout);
    }
}

$ 3. Add the listener to your layout in onBindViewHolder and use a callback to send data to the Activity or Fragment(not tested).

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(TrackAdapter.ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
    String str = mStringList.get(position);

    holder.nameView.setText(str);
    ...
    holder.linearLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            callback.itemCallback(mStringList.get(position));
        }
    });
}

how to use callbacks is another story

Answer 41

Step 1 ) Write the click interface

Create an interface named RecyclerViewClickListener.java and add below code. Here we declare two methods onClick and onLongClick to identify item click and long click respectively.

package com.androidtutorialshub.recyclerviewtutorial.Helper;

import android.view.View;

public interface RecyclerViewClickListener {
    void onClick(View view, int position);

    void onLongClick(View view, int position);
}

Step 2 ) Write the Item Touch Class

Create a class named RecyclerViewTouchListener.java and add below code . Here we write the logic to detect click and long press on recycler view item .

package com.androidtutorialshub.recyclerviewtutorial.Helper;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;


public class RecyclerViewTouchListener implements RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener{

    private GestureDetector gestureDetector;
    private RecyclerViewClickListener clickListener;

    public RecyclerViewTouchListener(Context context, final RecyclerView recyclerView, final RecyclerViewClickListener clickListener) {
        this.clickListener = clickListener;
        gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
                View child = recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
                if (child != null && clickListener != null) {
                    clickListener.onLongClick(child, recyclerView.getChildPosition(child));
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {

        View child = rv.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
        if (child != null && clickListener != null && gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {
            clickListener.onClick(child, rv.getChildPosition(child));
        }
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {

    }
}

Step 3 ) Defining click listener

Open MainActivity.java and update the below changes. Here onClick() method will detect click on item and onLongClick will detect long click on item.

recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerViewTouchListener(getApplicationContext(), recyclerView, new RecyclerViewClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view, int position) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), bookList.get(position).getTitle() + " is clicked!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

Same answer in Kotlin

inner class MyViewHolder(v: View, myOnClickListener: MyOnClickListener) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(v) {
    init {
        v.setOnClickListener { v -> myOnClickListener.onClick(v, adapterPosition) }
    }

override fun onCreateViewHolder(viewGroup: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MyViewHolder {
    val view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.context).inflate(R.layout.myview, viewGroup, false)
    return MyViewHolder(view, mOnClickListener)
}

inner class MyOnClickListener {
    fun onClick(view: View, position: Int) {
        val item = mList[position]
        Toast.makeText(view.context, item, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()

}

Answer 43

I have looked thorugh all of the anwers and was not quite satasifed. I found much easier and faster solution. Wanted to share for future readers.

1. Choose any View inside your single recycler item.
2. Get parent of this View (Make sure you cast to appropirate ViewGroup )
3. Set your onClickListener to this parent.

Sample code (It is written inside your onBindViewHolder method of your adapter ):

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {

    ConstraintLayout parent = (ConstraintLayout) holder.title.getParent();
    parent.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Clicked recycler view item at position " + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
}

Answer 44

For kotlin handle click on recyclerview anser based on Jacobs anser

kotlin RecyclerViewClick #RecyclerViewClick # Kotlin

1) CREATE CLASS RecyclerItemClickListener

class RecyclerItemClickListener(context: Context, recyclerView: RecyclerView, listner: OnItemClickListener) : RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {
    var mGestureDetector: GestureDetector
    var mListner: OnItemClickListener
    interface OnItemClickListener {
        fun onItemClick(view: View, position: Int)
        fun onLongItemClick(view: View, position: Int)
    }
    init {
        this.mListner = listner
        mGestureDetector = GestureDetector(context, object : GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
            override fun onSingleTapUp(e: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
                return true
            }
            override fun onLongPress(e: MotionEvent?) {
                val child: View? = recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(e!!.getX(), e.getY())
                if (child != null && mListner != null) {
                    mListner.onLongItemClick(child, recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(child))
                }

            }

        })
    }
    override fun onTouchEvent(rv: RecyclerView, e: MotionEvent) {
    }

    override fun onInterceptTouchEvent(view: RecyclerView, e: MotionEvent): Boolean {
        val childView: View? = view.findChildViewUnder(e!!.getX(), e.getY())
        if (childView != null && mListner != null && mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {
            mListner.onItemClick(childView, view.getChildAdapterPosition(childView))
            return true
        }
        return false
    }

    override fun onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(disallowIntercept: Boolean) {
    }

}

2) get Click on Any Recyclerview (activity/fragment)

 recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(
            RecyclerItemClickListener(
                this, recyclerView, object : RecyclerItemClickListener.OnItemClickListener {
                    override fun onItemClick(view: View, position: Int) {

                    }

                    override fun onLongItemClick(view: View, position: Int) {
                    }
                })
        )

Answer 45

Let's see how we can also implement this with Jetpack / AndroidX

You need to create an observable in the viewmodel class like this

private MutableLiveData<Integer> adapterItem = new MutableLiveData<>();

public MutableLiveData<Integer> getAdapterItem() {
    return adapterItem;
}

public void setAdapterItem(int adapterItem) {
    this.getAdapterItem().setValue(adapterItem);
}

Then in the adapter class make sure you pass the viewmodel reference as parameter in the constructor then implement the clicklistener on the viewholder

    public MyViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        if(itemView != null){
            itemView.setOnClickListener(v -> {
                int adapterPosition = getAdapterPosition();
                viewModel.setAdapterItem(adapterPosition);
            });

        };
    }

Then from the activity class just observe the changes

    viewModel.getAdapterItem().observe(this, position -> {
        Log.w(TAG, "clicked: " + ridesArray.get(position));
    });

Answer 46

here my way

in activity class:

    public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements EmployeeAdapter.ClickListener {
    ...
    @Override
    public void onClick(int position) { ... }
    ...
    }

in adapter class:

    public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
    ...
    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(){
         holder.textView1.setOnClickListener(v -> clickListener.onClick(position));
    }
    ...
    public interface ClickListener {
        void onClick(int position);
    }
    ...
    }

Answer 47

Don't reinvent the wheel! The code for this specific use case is included in the Master/Detail Flow starter project that comes with Android Studio.

From Android Studio select:

1. File > New > New Project....
2. In the Phone and Tablet tab select Master/Detail Flow as shown below.

3. Create the project as either Kotlin or Java.
4. Profit.

I am not going to include here the code from google's ootb the demo project, but I'll outline the main design approaches in the sample provided by google:

• the item OnClickListener is created ONLY ONCE, and is assigned to a field in your RecyclerView.Adapter implementation.
• in the onBindViewHolder() you should set the same, pre-created onClickListener object on your ViewHolder instance with holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(mOnClickListener) (AVOID creating a new instance on every method call!); if you need to capture clicks on some specific elements inside the ViewHolder then extend ViewHolder and expose the elements you need as fields so that you can attach whatever listeners you need in onBindViewHolder() — and once again, do NOT re-create the listeners on every method call — initialise them as instance fields and attach them as needed.
• you can use .setTag() in order to pass state to your viewHolder, e.g. holder.itemView.setTag(mValues.get(position)); as used in the demo.

This works.

public class ServiceListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ServiceListAdapter.ViewHolder> {

private final Context mContext;
private List<ServiceListModel> categoryList;
private View.OnClickListener onClickListener;

public ServiceListAdapter(Context mContext, List<ServiceListModel> categoryList, View.OnClickListener onClickListener) {
    this.categoryList = categoryList;
    this.mContext = mContext;
    this.onClickListener = onClickListener;
}

@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(final ViewGroup parent, final int viewType) {
    final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
    final RowServiceListBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.row_service_list, parent, false);
    return new ViewHolder(binding.getRoot(), binding);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
    holder.binding.rlService.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
    holder.binding.rlService.setTag(position);
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return categoryList.size();
}

public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    private final RowServiceListBinding binding;

    public ViewHolder(final View view, final RowServiceListBinding binding) {
        super(view);
        this.binding = binding;
    }

    @UiThread
    public void bind(final ServiceListModel mAddressModel) {
        //this.binding.setAddress(mAddressModel);
    }
}
}

Use in activity/fragment

ServiceListAdapter adapter = new ServiceListAdapter(context, serviceList, new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            switch (v.getId()) {
                case R.id.rlService:
                    int pos = (int) v.getTag();
                    serviceList.remove(position);
                    break;
            }
        }
    });
