Show customize pop up in recycler view adapter class - Android Java

Question

I have a fragment class that contains edit text,button and the recycler view . my recycler view use an xml layout of card view . my card view contains text view and a button(?) to show a pop up after being clicked.

I tried to add the pop up code in my fragment class as I usually do, but it's pointing out that my fragment doesn't have access to recycler's view card view layout. So I tried to add it in my adapter class but I'm getting stuck with getActivty() not getting recognize.
this is what I added in my view holder method inside on click

                    btnHelp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v) {
                            Popup_FreedomWall popup_freedomWall = new Popup_FreedomWall();
                            Bundle args = new Bundle();
                            System.out.println("=================TVFWID==========================");
                            System.out.println(tvFwId.getText().toString());
                            System.out.println("=====================TVFWID======================");
                            //data to get for report - uid(reported,get reported),freedom wall id
                            args.putString("user", mod_freedomWall.uid_report);
                            args.putString("reportedPost", tvFwId.getText().toString());
                            popup_freedomWall.setArguments(args);

                            popup_freedomWall.show();
                            popup_freedomWall.show(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(), "My Fragment");
                        }
                    });

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

From what I understand you have two possible approaches to this problem.

1. Send a Context with in your Adapter's constructor and replace the part where you need the "getActivity()" with that context you passed through (obv via a variable in your Adapter).
2. Use an Interface approach. I never like the Context style, so I'll give you an example for an Interface approach.

In your Adapter:

public abstract class YourAdapter extends ...<> {

    public interface MyListener {
        void onItemClicked(String someData); //can change this variable to whatever is needed, if any.
    }

    MyListener mListener;
    ...

Then let the onClickListener of the button call the Interface function you just created instead of trying to make a popup directly:

    btnHelp.setOnClickListener(v -> onItemClicked("this is my data i pass through");

Then add a function to your Adapter to set the listener (or add it as argument in the constructor, whatever you want):

public void setListener(MyListener listener) {
        mListener = listener;
    }

And implement the listener in your Fragment:

adapter.setListener(new YourAdapter.MyListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClicked(String myData) {
            //create your popup and simply call getActivity() since this is inside the Fragment
        }
    });

--- Your Fragment ---

public class Mod_FreedomWall extends Fragment {

    RecyclerView recyclerView;
    RecyclerView.Adapter myAdapter; //<-- 1 *remove*
    RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager; // obsolete, can be deleted. You make a local variable later on.
    Mod_FreedomWall_UserAdapter adapter; // <-- 2 *rename to myAdapter*
  @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mod_freedomwall, container, false);
        recyclerView = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.freedomWallPost);

        return v;

    }

@Override
    public void onViewCreated(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

        recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.freedomWallPost);
        recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

        LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity(), LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, true);
        layoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

// You call a function of `adapter` here, but adapter hasn't been 
// properly initialised yet, it's null so far, so that won't go well. 
// *rename adapter to myAdapter and move this part down*
adapter.setListener(new Mod_FreedomWall_UserAdapter.MyListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClicked(String uid, String fwid) {
                Popup_FreedomWall popup_freedomWall = new Popup_FreedomWall();
                Bundle args = new Bundle();
                //data to get for report - uid(reported,get reported),freedom wall id
                args.putString("user",uid);
                args.putString("reportedPost", fwid);
                popup_freedomWall.setArguments(args);
                popup_freedomWall.show(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(), "My Fragment");
            }
        });

        btnPost.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            final Date c = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
            final SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yy", Locale.getDefault());
            final String formattedDate = df.format(c);
            final Date currentTime = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
            final DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh.mm aa");
            final String dateString = dateFormat.format(new Date());

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                String message = etPost.getText().toString();
                createPost(message, user_name, dateString, formattedDate, level);
                myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                etPost.setText("");
            }
        });

        user = new ArrayList<Mod_FreedomWall_User>();
        retrievePost();

        //Here you initialise your adapter
        myAdapter = new Mod_FreedomWall_UserAdapter(this, user);
        //you can move your `myAdapter.setListener` to this spot.
        recyclerView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
    }

Well, you declared two adapters but only really used one. Seems a bit mixed up.

To-do; Scrap one of the adapters (number 1). Then the simplest way is to rename adapter at number 2 to myAdapter and also change the adapter at adapter.setListener to myAdapter.setListener(... .

Then move that myAdapater.setListener(... to a place below myAdapter = new Mod_FreedomWall_UserAdapter(this, user); since that is where you actually initialise your adapter. Before that point you can't safely call the your adapter's functions.
