So I have this app in which I have to make a RecyclerView
which contains a list of items that can be deleted/edited e.t.c.
I followed a tutorial on youtube and I made a custom CardView
item on another layout and a custom adapter for that item.
Thing is, depending on the state of the item, I have to change something(ex. background color or text color).
When I do that in the RecyclerView
activity I get NullPointerException
even if I have the id's.
How can I edit those TextViews
inside the programmatically generated list of items in the moment I make the Retrofit call?
boolean isEnded;
if(!endedAt.equals("null"))
{
endedAt = endedAt.substring(endedAt.indexOf("T") + 1, endedAt.lastIndexOf(":"));
isEnded=true;
}
else
{
endedAt="ongoing";
isEnded=false;
}
item.timeDifference=createdAt+" - "+endedAt;
if(externalSystem.equals("null"))
{
item.externalSystem="";
}
else
{
item.externalSystem = externalSystem;
}
Log.i("attr",externalSystem);
items.add(item);
itemAdapter=new ItemAdapter(getApplicationContext(), items);
recyclerView.setAdapter(itemAdapter);
if(isEnded) {
error-> externalSystemView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
}
The app is rather big, but I think you can get the idea from this piece of code.
Here is the error: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.TextView.setTextColor(int)' on a null object reference
public class ItemAdapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<ItemAdapter.ItemViewHolder>{
private Context context;
private ArrayList<Item> itemList;
public ItemAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Item> itemList)
{
this.context=context;
this.itemList=itemList;
}
@Override
public ItemViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
LayoutInflater layoutInflater=LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
View view=layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.item_layout,parent,false);
ItemViewHolder itemViewHolder=new ItemViewHolder(view);
return itemViewHolder;
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ItemViewHolder holder, int position) {
Item item=itemList.get(position);
holder.timeDifference.setText(item.timeDifference);
holder.title.setText(item.title);
holder.timeCounter.setText(item.timeCounter);
holder.externalSystem.setText(item.externalSystem);
holder.type.setText(item.type);
holder.project.setText(item.project);
MY IDEA
"holder.timeDifference.setTextColor(Color.parseColor(item.color));"
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
if(itemList!=null)
return itemList.size();
else
return 0;
}
public static class ItemViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
{
public CardView cardViewItem;
public TextView title;
public TextView project;
public TextView externalSystem;
public TextView timeDifference;
public TextView timeCounter;
public TextView type;
public ItemViewHolder(View itemView)
{
super(itemView);
cardViewItem=(CardView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.card_view_item);
title=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.title);
project=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.project);
externalSystem=
(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.external_system);
timeDifference=
(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.time_difference);
timeCounter=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.time_counter);
type=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.type);
}
EDIT: I think I found a way, but I don't know if it's the best one
