Single selection in RecyclerView

Question

I know there are no default selection methods in recyclerview class  But I have tried in following way   public void onBindViewHolder ViewHolder holder  final int position        holder mTextView setText fonts get position  getName         holder checkBox setChecked fonts get position  isSelected          holder checkBox setOnCheckedChangeListener new CompoundButton OnCheckedChangeListener              Override         public void onCheckedChanged CompoundButton buttonView  boolean isChecked                if isChecked                    for  int i   0  i  lt  fonts size    i                          fonts get i  setSelected false                                     fonts get position  setSelected isChecked                                       While trying this code  I got expected output  But completely not    I will explain this with images    By default  the first item is selected from my adapter    Then I am trying to select 2nd and then 3rd  and then 4th and finally 5th one     Here 5th only should be selected  but all five are getting selected   If I scroll the list to bottom and come again to top     I got what I expected   How can I overcome this issue  And some time If I scroll the list very fast some other item gets selected  How to overcome this problem too   Update  While I am trying to use notifyDataSetChanged   after fonts get position  setSelected isChecked   I got following exception   java lang IllegalStateException  Cannot call this method while RecyclerView is computing a layout or scrolling         at android support v7 widget RecyclerView assertNotInLayoutOrScroll RecyclerView java 1462          at android support v7 widget RecyclerView RecyclerViewDataObserver onChanged RecyclerView java 2982          at android support v7 widget RecyclerView AdapterDataObservable notifyChanged RecyclerView java 7493          at android support v7 widget RecyclerView Adapter notifyDataSetChanged RecyclerView java 4338          at com app myapp screens RecycleAdapter onRowSelect RecycleAdapter java 111

Looks like there are two things at play here      1  The views are reused  so the old listener is still present    2  You are changing the data without notifying the adapter of the change   I will address each separately    1  View reuse  Basically  in onBindViewHolder you are given an already initialized ViewHolder  which already contains a view   That ViewHolder may or may not have been previously bound to some data   Note this bit of code right here   holder checkBox setChecked fonts get position  isSelected       If the holder has been previously bound  then the checkbox already has a listener for when the checked state changes  That listener is being triggered at this point  which is what was causing your IllegalStateException     An easy solution would be to remove the listener before calling setChecked   An elegant solution would require more knowledge of your views - I encourage you to look for a nicer way of handling this    2  Notify the adapter when data changes  The listener in your code is changing the state of the data without notifying the adapter of any subsequent changes   I don t know how your views are working so this may or may not be an issue   Typically when the state of your data changes  you need to let the adapter know about it   RecyclerView Adapter has many options to choose from  including notifyItemChanged  which tells it that a particular item has changed state   This might be good for your use   if isChecked        for  int i   0  i  lt  fonts size    i              if  i    position  continue          Font f   fonts get i           if  f isSelected                  f setSelected false               notifyItemChanged i      Tell the adapter this item is updated                     fonts get position  setSelected isChecked       notifyItemChanged position

I want to share the similar thing I have achieved  may be it will help someone  below code is from the application to select an address from a list of addresses that are displayed in cardview cvAddress   so that on click of particular item cardview  the imageView inside the item should set to different resource select unselect          Override public void onBindViewHolder final AddressHolder holder  final int position        holderList add holder       holder tvAddress setText addresses get position  getAddress         holder cvAddress setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener              Override         public void onClick View view                selectCurrItem position                        private void selectCurrItem int position        int size   holderList size        for int i   0  i lt size  i                  if i  position              holderList get i  ivSelect setImageResource R drawable select           else             holderList get i  ivSelect setImageResource R drawable unselect             I don t know this is best solution or not but this worked for me

So  after spending so many days over this  this is what I came up with which worked for me  and is good practice as well    Create an interface  name it some listener  SomeSelectedListener   Add a method which takes an integer void onSelect int position   Initialise the listener in the recycler adapter s constructor as   a  first declare globally as  private SomeSelectedListener listener b  then in constructor initialise as  this listener   listener  Inside onClick   of checkbox inside onBindViewHolder    update the method of the interface listener by passing the position as  listener onSelect position  In the model  add a variable for deselect say  mSelectedConstant and initialise it there to 0  This represents the default state when nothing is selected  Add getter and setter for the mSelectedConstant in the same model  Now  go to your fragment activity and implement the listener interface  Then override its method  onSelect int position   Within this method  iterate through your list which you are passing to your adapter using a for loop and setSelectedConstant to 0 for all      code    Override public void onTicketSelect int position    for  ListType listName   list        listName setmSelectedConstant 0       8  Outside this  make the selected position constant 1    code  list get position  setmSelectedConstant 1      Notify this change by calling  adapter notifyDataSetChanged    immediately after this  Last step  go back to your adapter and update inside onBindViewHolder   after onClick   add the code to update the checkbox state     code       if  listVarInAdapter get position  getmSelectedConstant      1        holder checkIcon setChecked true       selectedTicketType   dataSetList get position     else       commonHolder checkCircularIcon setChecked false

This happens because RecyclerView  as the name suggests  does a good job at recycling its ViewHolders  This means that every ViewHolder  when it goes out of sight  actually  it takes a little more than going out of sight  but it makes sense to simplify it that way   it is recycled  this implies that the RecyclerView takes this ViewHolder that is already inflated and replaces its elements with the elements of another item in your data set   Now  what is going on here is that once you scroll down and your first  selected  ViewHolders go out of sight  they are being recycled and used for other positions of your data set  Once you go up again  the ViewHolders that were bound to the first 5 items are not necessarely the same  now   This is why you should keep an internal variable in your adapter that remembers the selection state of each item  This way  in the onBindViewHolder method  you can know if the item whose ViewHolder is currently being bound was selected or not  and modify a View accordingly  in this case your RadioButton s state  though I would suggest to use a CheckBox if you plan on selecting multiple items    If you want to learn more about RecyclerView and its inner workings  I invite you to check FancyAdapters  a project I started on GitHub  It is a collection of adapters that implement selection  drag amp drop of elements and swipe to dismiss capabilities  Maybe by checking the code you can obtain a good understanding on how RecyclerView works

You need to clear the OnCheckedChangeListener before setting setChecked      Override public void onBindViewHolder final ViewHolder holder  int position         holder mRadioButton setOnCheckedChangeListener null       holder mRadioButton setChecked position    mCheckedPosition       holder mRadioButton setOnCheckedChangeListener new CompoundButton OnCheckedChangeListener              Override         public void onCheckedChanged CompoundButton buttonView  boolean isChecked                 mCheckedPosition   position              notifyDataSetChanged                          This way it won t trigger the java lang IllegalStateException  Cannot call this method while RecyclerView is computing a layout or scrolling error
