Getting position of View in onCreateViewHolder

You cannot use the position parameter of onBindViewHolder in a callback.If a new item is added above, RecyclerView will not rebind your item so the position is obsolete.Instead, RecyclerView provides a getAdapterPosition method on the ViewHolder.

@Overridepublic ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(final ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {    final View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())            .inflate(R.layout.single_line_row, parent, false);    final ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder(view);    view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {        @Override        public void onClick(View v) {            final int position = holder.getAdapterPosition();            if (position != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION) {                remove(mCommentList.get(position));            }        }    });    return holder;}

I've added position != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION check because when item is removed, RecyclerView will fade out the View so it may still be clicked by the user but its adapter position will return NO_POSITION.

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 }

override getItemViewType method in your Adapter:

@Overridepublic int getItemViewType(int position) {    //...    return position;}

Now viewType is position

 @Override    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {       int position=viewType; //position         //your code         View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_recursive, parent, false);        return new ViewHolder(view);    }

for example

public class BrandBtnAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<BrandBtnAdapter.MyViewHolder>{     //............    @Override    public int getItemViewType(int position)    {        //...        return position;    }    @Override    public BrandBtnAdapter.MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType)    {        int position = viewType; //position         final View itemView = mInflater.inflate(mResource, parent, false);        return new BrandBtnAdapter.MyViewHolder(itemView);    }}
