How do I get the position selected in a RecyclerView?

Question

I am experimenting with the support library\'s recyclerview and cards. I have a recyclerview of cards. Each card has an \'x\' icon at the top right corner to remove it:

Personally, the simplest way that I have found and works great for me is as follows:

Create an interface inside your "RecycleAdapter" Class (Subclass)

public interface ClickCallback {
    void onItemClick(int position);
}

Add a variable of the interface as a parameter in the Constructor.

private String[] items;
private ClickCallback callback;

public RecyclerAdapter(String[] items, ClickCallback clickCallback) {
    this.items = items;
    this.callback = clickCallback;
}

Set a Click listener in the ViewHolder (another subclass) and pass the 'position' to through the interface

    AwesomeViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                callback.onItemClick(getAdapterPosition());
            }
        });
        mTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.mTextView);
    }

Now, when initializing the recycler adapter in an activity/fragment, just Create a new 'ClickCallback' (interface)

String[] values = {"Hello","World"};
RecyclerAdapter recyclerAdapter = new RecyclerAdapter(values, new RecyclerAdapter.ClickCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(int position) {
         // Do anything with the item position
    }
});

That's it for me. :)
