Updating text in EditText component of RecyclerView

Question

I have a RecyclerView with each item containing an EditText. I start another activity using startActivityForResult. On returning from the activity, I want to update my EditText of that item of the list with some text. How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

Please try this..... I posted full sample which your asked.

1. activity_main

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recyclerview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

2. row_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/cardView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
app:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
app:cardElevation="8dp">

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="16dp">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/food_preview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/food_name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/food_preview"
        android:text="Row Title"
        android:textSize="30sp" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/food_order_count"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/food_name"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/food_preview"
        android:hint="Order Count" />

   </RelativeLayout>

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

3. RecyclerViewAdapter.java

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

private List<Data> list = Collections.emptyList();
private Context context;
private OnItemClick onItemClick;

public RecyclerViewAdapter(List<Data> list, Context context, OnItemClick onItemClick) {
    this.list = list;
    this.context = context;
    this.onItemClick = onItemClick;
}

@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    //Inflate the layout, initialize the View Holder
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_item, parent, false);
    ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder(v);
    return holder;

}

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

    //Use the provided View Holder on the onCreateViewHolder method to populate the current row on the RecyclerView
    holder.food_name.setText(list.get(position).food_name);
    holder.food_order_count.setText(list.get(position).food_order_count);
    holder.food_preview.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);

    //animate(holder);

}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    //returns the number of elements the RecyclerView will display
    return list.size();
}

@Override
public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
    super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
}

// Insert a new item to the RecyclerView on a predefined position
public void insert(int position, Data data) {
    list.add(position, data);
    notifyItemInserted(position);
}

// Remove a RecyclerView item containing a specified Data object
public void remove(Data data) {
    int position = list.indexOf(data);
    list.remove(position);
    notifyItemRemoved(position);
}

 class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener{

    CardView cv;
    TextView food_name;
    EditText food_order_count;
    ImageView food_preview;

    ViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        cv = (CardView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.cardView);
        food_name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.food_name);
        food_order_count = (EditText) itemView.findViewById(R.id.food_order_count);
        food_preview = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.food_preview);

        itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(onItemClick != null){
            onItemClick.onClick(v, list.get(getAdapterPosition()), getAdapterPosition());
        }
    }
}

 public interface OnItemClick{
    void onClick(View view, Data data, int pos);
 }
}

4.MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private List<Data> list;
private int position;
private RecyclerViewAdapter adapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    list = fill_with_data();
    RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
    adapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(list, this, mOnItemClick);
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

}

RecyclerViewAdapter.OnItemClick mOnItemClick = new RecyclerViewAdapter.OnItemClick() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view, Data data, int pos) {
        position = pos;
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
        startActivityForResult(intent, 2);
    }
};

public List<Data> fill_with_data() {

    List<Data> data = new ArrayList<>();

    data.add(new Data("Food 1", " ", ""));
    data.add(new Data("Food 2", " ", ""));
    data.add(new Data("Food 3", "", ""));

    return data;
}

@Override

    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == 2) {
        String count = data.getStringExtra("COUNT");
        Data update_data = list.get(position);
        update_data.setFood_order_count(count);
        //   **This line do magic** which your asked.
        adapter.notifyItemChanged(position, update_data);
    }
  }
 }
