Getting position of View in onCreateViewHolder

Question

I am using a RecyclerView with a single row layout with an ImageView and a TextView.

I want to implement a OnClickListener for the View and not for seperate ViewHold

Answer 1

you can create a method to update position in your class.

in my case I need to attach watcher and get the position to update arraylist. here is the example:

class DodolWatcher bla bla {
    private var position: Int = 0
    fun updatePosition(pos:Int)
    {
      position = pos
    }

    override fun onTextChanged(charSequence: CharSequence, i: Int, i2: Int, i3: Int) {
    Log.d("test", position.toString())
    }

}

and in your onCreateViewHolder you can attach watcher to edittext

 override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RVPaymentMethodAdapter.ViewHolder {
     ....
     bla bla
     ....
     theWatcher = DodolWatcher() <-- this is the trick
     amount.addTextChangedListener(theWatcher)
 }

and you will able to update position in your bindViewHolder like this:

override fun onBindViewHolder(viewHolder: RVPaymentMethodAdapter.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
     theWatcher.updatePosition(viewHolder.adapterPosition)  <-- this is the trick
 }
