RecyclerView OnClick not working

1.Simple Click Handler within ViewHolder

RecyclerView does not have special provisions for attaching click handlers to items unlike ListView which has the method setOnItemClickListener(). To achieve a similar effect, we can attach click events within the ViewHolder within our adapter:

public class ContactsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ContactsAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    // ...

    // Used to cache the views within the item layout for fast access
    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        public TextView tvName;
        public TextView tvHometown;
        private Context context;

        public ViewHolder(Context context, View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            this.tvName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvName);
            this.tvHometown = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvHometown);
            // Store the context
            this.context = context;
            // Attach a click listener to the entire row view
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
        }

        // Handles the row being being clicked
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            int position = getLayoutPosition(); // gets item position
            User user = users.get(position);
            // We can access the data within the views
            Toast.makeText(context, tvName.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    // ...
}

Another way is my preferred way.. but this is also a fine way to go about it.

My onBindViewHolder

@Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(CategoryViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Category category = mCategories.get(position);

        holder.tvTitle.setText(category.getTitle());
        holder.tvDescription.setText(category.getDescription());

        holder.rlContainer.setOnClickListener(mClickListener);
        holder.rlContainer.setTag(holder);
    }

My class level (Adapter object of View.OnClickListner)

View.OnClickListener mClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            CategoryViewHolder holder = (CategoryViewHolder) view.getTag();
            int position = holder.getAdapterPosition();

            startAppointmentBookingFor(mCategories.get(position));
        }
    };

so basically attach the listener to any view in your holder (I try to put it on container only), then extract it out on the onclick and handle positions etc.

In ‘CustomViewHolder’ below ‘super(view)’ add view.setOnClickListener(this)

You’re done Should work.
