Answer 1

First instantiate you selectedItemsin your constructor as below.

public CompanyProfileAdapter(List<CompanyProfileData> companyList) {
        this.companyProfileDataList = companyList;
        selectedItems = new SparseBooleanArray();
}

Then create a method call selectLastItem() or with whatever name you like as below.

public void selectLastItem(int pos){
        selectedItems.clear();
        selectedItems.put(pos, true);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
 }

And then change your onBindViewHolder() method as below.

 @Override
 public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
        CompanyProfileData CPData = companyProfileDataList.get(position);
        holder.comName.setText(CPData.getComName());
        holder.hdName.setText(CPData.gethdName());
        holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(selectedItems.get(position, false) ? ResourcesCompat.getColor(holder.itemView.getResources(), R.color.colorPrimary, null) : Color.TRANSPARENT);
 }

Finally call the selectLastItem method in onClick() as below.

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
       selectLastItem(getAdapterPosition());
}

I think this will solve your problem. Thanks..

Answer 2

Inside your adapter's public MyViewHolder(View view)
write this:

 comName.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                    comName.setPressed(true);
                    return true;
                }
            });
