Answer 1

Make global variable to store position and handle click listener in ViewHolder. Onclick of item, change the global position value like

textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        globalPosition=getAdapterPosition();
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
});

then in onBindViewHolder

if(postion==globalPosition)
{
    //change color like
    textview.setTextColor(Color.RED);
}
else
{
    //revert back to regular color 
    textview.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
}

with this code, the item you clicked get red colored and all other wiil be in white.
