i have a project due in 3 days and your channel is saving my life!! thank you so much for this!!! never clicked on subscribe this fast!!!

[@jarrodthoma1866]

Mitch, I definitely appreciate your content. Software/firmware development is nothing new to me, but I recently got into app development, and this series has helped tremendously! I was having difficulty with changing the TextView text color within my ViewHolders in the RecyclerView, but was eventually able to figure it out with your interface examples on the Note RecyclerView series. Thank you so much.

[@klekaelly]

Hey Mitch, just wanted to say I was stuck on a problem for a long time and your video (especially the part where you took us back and walked through everything we did) was super helpful. I was able to resolve my problem after re-approaching it with a clear head. Thanks for the guidance!

[@Richie_]

Coding with Mitch & Coding in Flow are the 2 best tutors on KZbin.

[@josepenasanchez1491]

Explaining what you code was doing as you typed, and at the end to summarized really helped!! Awesome tutorial!!

[@kristians1550]

Had to come back to this video to say how much I appreciate what you do, I have used this in my recyclerView app a long time ago and now I was looking for a way to fix a similar issue in different java swing application where I used the same concept with an interface and it works as a charm. Man you really have no competition when it comes to this stuff. Wish you pleasant holidays mate, you deserve it

[@joeypeters2916]

Mitch, I have a degree in mobile app development. I wish I would have seen this while in school. It helped a lot and will continue to help a bunch. Thank you for all you do.

[@noodler911]

5:36 the this keyword doesn't work for me. It provides ValueEventListener instead of OnNoteListener. Do you know how I can solve this problem?

[@apartmentbluerose-trogir7869]

God bless you Mitch! It works like a charm!

[@moazelsawaf2000]

Thanks a lot ❤️ This method is called inter fragment communication and we use it when we want our fragment to communicate with the activity...

[@huh_wtf]

This was such a god sent....Thank you for uploading this. Such an elegant solution.

[@GamerChris123]

Finally helped me get my code up and running, migrating everything from Java to Kotlin was pretty seamless but the Adapter definitely gave me a couple migraines. Thanks!

[@samusaran5509]

Man i have been racking my brain trying to figure out why my click listener wasn't passing variables to a new activity. Thanks so much my dude.

[@chloegeldhof4921]

Thank YOU!!!! I changed it a little to apply to a fragment but after hours of finding shite tutorials it's finally working! I'll put your name on my bachelors degree LOL

[@wertin200]

Did you find a way to Go from one fragment to Another fragment And then to show the id that was passed through

[@ericsmith2405]

Just fantastic! Finally someone who can break down a myriad of core topics into a one simple brain folder!!

[@codingwithmitch]

Haha "brain folder". I like that

[@vladkondratiuk5886]

That's great, dude! When I was finding on Russian chanels this info, I didn't do that, but when I saw your video, I understand that no metter what I need, I have to search everything on English chanels at ones!

[@hugocc0318]

Omg I have learned more in this video than searching through a thousand forums, thank you very much

[@ianrknowles]

Tried to get a recyclerview click listener working for hours - this tutorial finally cracked it - Thank you!

[@ki11qwerty47]

omg!!! thanks a lot! i killed 1day to find best practice way for this )))

[@sitibalqis8032]

Thank you Mitch! I finally be able to go to another different activity for each item clicked! Implemented the switch case in the onNoteClick and it worked! :)))) p/s: I used the coding from your previous recyclerview and edited from there.

[@sitibalqis8032]

But only for the toast message, i don't know where to put the coding. But i guess it's okay as long as my goal is achieved 😂

[@samha1513]

Clear and to the point as always. Everytime I watch your video I learn something new. Thanks.

[@dignitymashoko5437]

Man you are the best, keep up you are saving the world.

[@WftYT]

Thank you so much. I've got a huge project rn and the only thing that was troubling me is communication between the recycler view and the Activity that uses it. Thank you so much! It fixed my issue

[@marcoantonioblancastokunag1864]

I am very happy to find your content. Excellent explanation, I have signed up for the full course on your website. Thank you!

[@codinginflow]

Wow you must be a programmer or something

[@codingwithmitch]

😏

[@goldwings1468]

Coding in Flow approves 😃

[@anhchung7340]

funny :)

[@ehtashamali821]

Ohh Glad to see you here. You both are Best. Please guide me on this issue. I try to resolve this issue from last two weeks but not getting solution yet. How can I change the View which is previously clicked in RecyclerView. I have a play button in every single row of RecyclerView. Whenever this button is clicked button visibility changed like shown in this image imgur.com/0fpk0Jv. When user click on first row button visibility changed which is working fine. But when user click on second row button of RecyclerView I want to change the button of first row to came back to its original position. Scenario shown in this image imgur.com/n4Q26Qm

[@tarikbenaliamar4033]

Codingin Flow you too, you are a genius ;)

[@matthewmirandaa]

I know the video's a couple of years old but I just really need to say that this was a great video/explanation, thank you so much, helped out a lot, pura vida 🙌

[@dungenhero7159]

I went to StackOverflow, couldn't find the solution. Then I found this. Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot

[@themax734]

Thanks Mitch! This was exactly what I needed.

[@martinsalcedoapps]

Really simple, great explanation. Thanks Mitch.

[@nikhilcsuvarna8829]

Thank you for this..I was searching whole day for this..🙌

[@josephridge3646]

Hey Mitch thank your for this !!! I appreciate the relay.

[@user-dm1te2rj5u]

Thank you sooooooooo much for your super kind explanation!! I found it so easy to follow. I've actually tried several ways to apply OnClickListener to recycler items but I had failed to come here! I'll keep subscribing for additional help! >ㅁ

[@sonuchristopherk2273]

amazingly short and easy to understand.. Keep rocking!

[@madhuthakur472]

Really appreciate the way you explain things .. made android easy for me ..

[@john20johnny]

Hi, first I'd like to thank you for your videos and lessons, and then I got two questions that I hope you have time to answer. 1. How to make each item to open a new activity (not the same) example item (A) opens activity (A) and item (B) opens activity (B) and so on. 2. How to implement onBackPressed() or finish() method in the clickListener method of recyclerView, for example if item (A) clicked open activity (A) and finish its current activity. Thank you again.

[@mikolajm9175]

This is gold among so much shitty stack answers i found. Much thanks for this explanation and BRILLIANT revision at the end.

[@harisdurrani8422]

Superb...i searched every where but all were directing to onBind Holder...and that was very confusing for me,,, but your method is very very easy...and it solved all my problem...love you for this helpful guide....

[@red2fire2]

Cheers, This really helped

[@mengmengliu6261]

simple and elegant, thank you so much!

[@pikachubolt2001]

Thanks mitch, the other tutorial on another guy on how to setup a recyclerview had miss one thing on how to implement the listener to get clickevents, he forgot to add view.setonclicklistener(this); on the customviewholder. thanks again!

[@BaldPL]

Thanks for help! Good quality example of create own listener and use it in RecyclerView.

[@karagezify]

Thanks for making this! Really helped me out!

[@demoscena1180]

Interesting. I was always using the "bad practice" way.

[@darshans9186]

Oh shitt!! Have to make lots of changes in the code which I wrote today 😅 thanks alot mate. It's really helpful. Keep posting good stuff

[@codingwithmitch]

I think next month I'm going to start posting shitty stuff

[@switchend7776]

quality teaching bro thank you! learned a lot

[@IbnBattuta2]

Thanks. Great tutorial as usual.

[@patrickgichuki1789]

Life and time saver! Thank you very much!

[@ryujikomai8859]

Super helpful and straightforward. Thanks so much :)

[@Tronx431]

2021 ik but thx alot dude, you fixed my crahing issues. I have my holder class separated from my adapter class so every time I clicked one of my items it crashed but not anymore, ur the best.

[@Kevin-HB]

Man, you help my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

[@CalvinJKu]

Thanks Mitch. I'm using a similar pattern but I'd like to 1. Add an overlay when an item in the RecyclerView is selected; 2. Change some UI in the hosting fragment when something inside the RecyclerView is selected. I find it quite difficult as the onClick methods and the UI is controlled by the fragment, while the item UI is controlled by the viewholder. Not sure how to get them to talk to each other.

[@abdulazizfahim2140]

Dude you are a LIFESAVER!!

[@arunachalamk1145]

keep doing bruh Great quality

[@PenjinPinguino]

Hi, great video! One question. In the adapter, when you add the click listener why is it needed to pass the OnNoteListener to the ViewHolder instead of using the one you have on the adapter directly? Is that bad practice? Can it cause problems?

[@constanzacirion8100]

this is exactly what i was looking for. thanks :)

[@aleksandrbut9604]

thanks a lot, this is exactly what i was looking for

[@Thatbigx]

Thank you very much, helped a lot.

[@vuphong2003]

Clearly explained, plus you made it so easy. Thanks!

[@javrz91]

[@zadick2026]

Thank you so much bro it saves my time

[@aslammamud6078]

Your tutorial helped me a lot. thanks. all the best.

[@vahidhoseini1723]

great, good job mitch.

[@kgi259]

It's worked to my project! Thanks a lot

[@jhonesns]

Thanks, it worked for me, I'm really happy, thank you so much!

[@gigajoules6636]

So I have my recyclerview positioned inside of a fragment and want to make it so any image I press inside of my recyclerview is highlighted / selected when i do so. How do I acheive this? I have the debug window which states "Image n" pressed correcly when I click on an image, I'm just a little lost as to how I can get a handle on the imageviews from here.

[@danylfernandes5903]

Hey Mitch! Would you make a short video on how to make an expandable recyclerview. Each list item expands to show sub list items Thanks.

[@GauravLonkar]

Yes, please. We need that.

[@enzowalker2118]

Look into Paging Library for Android Studio. Maybe that might be what you're referring to.

[@JoJo-yu7hh]

I can't do it I did everything as in the video it only works once when starting, after which it stops responding. It's probably because of the OnClickListener. Can it be because of the CardView that is in a different layout?

[@thebluer4829]

Can i ask sir? how about when i try using firebase onclick listener on adapter. how can i make it like that? because when i try to make constructor i got an error that i should use ValueEvenListener than OnClickListener and i got an error too when i use the getAdapterPositions null pointer

[@andre0667]

Straight to the point!

[@marenlampprecht6947]

Wow!!! This is a great tutorial! Thank you :)

[@samoramabuya6583]

Listen to me now. Thanks bro. This helped me with a problem I was having.

[@crissb9357]

Hello Mitch, I appreciate your effort to answer our questions from here, thank you very much. I want see how to implement RecyclerView with multiView items and clickListener method in Java. It is possible ? I already work on this, but I got an error when I try to add more different xml items in RecyclerView(notifyItemInserted(0) didn't works).

[@nonamenoname3144]

Thank you very much, you make me understand interfaces

[@chibakusanimations7316]

Thanks for the tutorial! Is it ok to remover the "OnNoteClickListener"in the ViewHolder constructor and just stick with the one on the adapter"mOnNoteListener"?

[@GauthamKrishna07]

Hey Mitch. I have an error at 5:41. I already passed getApplicationContext and some other variables in the initialisation of Recycler adapter.

[@isurubandara899]

Thank you man, I have been using the wrong one that you mentioned. I did not know that Thank you again.

[@sergeykuzmin8566]

Thank you so much. It helped me with my project

[@jalstudioproduction6739]

How this can apply with a different code. I mean, I follow the tutorial from Coding in Flow in FirebaseUI - FirestoreRecyclerAdapter. I want to create a new activity from recycleView that connected in Firebase?

[@LiubomyrFatsiievych]

Great tutorial, thank u so much!

[@nawazkamboo8750]

you're awesome dude. Really it is the Best Practice Way!! My Issue was solved

[@hocineguebbas4016]

Thank you so match . you're the best ever.

[@azammukhtar9011]

Lol, i just wondering how to do that tommorow, very nice thank you !

[@iAdrianT]

Literally same LMAO

[@rhupin5276]

I love this best practice video! By the way, does this also apply to the onClick method of onSwipe from ItemTouchHelper? I made a separate utility java files that extends ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallBack. Should I also execute the commands inside this onClick, in the Activity class instead? Thanks so much in advance!

[@prithvib8662]

Your voice makes this sound like casually explained: programming

[@67Diadem]

Great tutorial!! I have a question and I wanted to implement that on my project, how will you put a custom back button on new detail activity so that whenever a user press on custom back button then it goes back to recycler view list items. ..? Can you please help me with that?

[@randy4443]

Hi would you handle items inside the recyclerview click listener. For example, lets say there is a checkbox inside the recyclerview and you want to handle the click event .

[@tanzimislam2395]

Ty ma frnd. You have earned yourself a subscriber

[@pikachubolt2001]

My itemclicklistener interface doesnt work when I change the dataset with notifydatasetchanged()?, also my notifydatasetchanged() doesnt work when i put everything on oncreateview in my fragment where I have my recyclerview, but my interface works. by what I mean by that is i am using buttons to categorize my items in recyclerview, but they don't work since on oncreateview i already have items query'd for all, but when i take that away and my buttons work, but my listener doesnt trigger when i click my items

[@soja0524]

It was such a great explaination. Thanks1

[@enriqueajin6016]

Helped a lot. Thank you :)

[@DrHoffVan]

thanks for the new and optimal way thanks a lot

[@wertin200]

Do you have any tips for navigate from one fragment to another fragment? Some context so that you can beter understand my problem I am currently building a pokedex, I have fragment with a recyclerView where all the pokemons are shown. Now I want to make a fragment where you can see the details for a specific pokemon. But when i try your method i can't base the pokedex fragment to the adapter class. Do you have any tips or something i should look up?

[@nicolasvantsis6166]

Hi and thank you for all this amazing videos. I have a question. Can you tell me please how can I set an OnClickListener in a particular item with this method? Like a delete button or imageView... I'm coding only 2 month and it's a bit difficult for me to understand everything. Thank you

[@coquirivva]

Hi Mitch, what if you have more than one click in the recyclerview item, such as a button, beside the main item.

[@codingwithshafi2019]

when using recyleview in fragment, my constructor is itemByConveyanceIdAdapter = new ItemByConveyanceIdAdapter(context,items,this) , this getting wrong . suggestion to Change 3rd parameter of method 'ItemByConveyanceIdAdapter' from 'OnNoteListener' to 'Callback'

[@rishankyashu1121]

wow..... nice explained iwas stuck on this problem for more than a day.....

[@lemmynjaria65]

Awesome!!! thanks a bunch
