Android recyclerView findViewHolderForAdapterPosition returns null

Question

I want to click an item in recyclerView programmatically, I found a way do that:

recyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(0).itemView.performClick();
         


        

Answer 1

I wouldnt recommend using post delay. Although it works the timing is arbitrary.

Using OnPreDrawListener on the recyclerview, timing will be aligned with the next draw cycle and visible items are accessible.
