Strange behaviour of images in RecyclerView

Question

I am using android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView to show simple items containing text and in some cases also images. Basically I followed the tutorial from here https://dev

Answer 1

Not sure if people still have issues with this, but the if statement did not work for me. What did work for me is this:

Using an override on this method in the adapter

@Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        return position;
    }

followed by calling the if statement based on this for the image itself within the onBindViewHolder, like so:

int pos = getItemViewType(position);
            if(theList.get(pos).getPicture() == null) {

                holder.picture.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            } else {

                Picasso.with(context).load(R.drawable.robot).into(holder.picture);
            }

I am using Picasso but it should work with any other else situation. Hope this helps someone!
