Get specific data from api + recyclerview

Question

I'm making a recipe search application using forkify API. I get such json (let's take pizza recipes for example). I've made a recycler and searchable, but the recipes themselves are given as a link to the site with that recipe (see source_url in the json). I've made a webview for this, but there's one problem. I need to get that source_url and have it match the recipe I clicked on. I tried to make an additional element in resycler, small invisible textview, and put source_url there, so when I clicked on it, it would take text and pass it to a variable and load it as url into webview. (Very silly solution, but I didn't think of another one.) It's not what I had in mind. Basically my code works, but the url is not passed from all textViews. I've been observing its behaviour and I can only assume that it loads every 4 in vertical mode and every 2 in horizontal mode. And this is not what I need. Please help me to solve this problem. Below is my code:

Adapter:

@JvmOverloads
fun RecyclerView.affectOnItemClicks(
    onClick: ((position: Int, view: View) -> Unit)? = null,
    onLongClick: ((position: Int, view: View) -> Unit)? = null
) {
    this.addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(
        RecyclerItemClickListener(
            this,
            onClick,
            onLongClick
        )
    )
}
class RecyclerAdapter(
    private val dataset: List<Recipe>
)
    : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerAdapter.FoodHolder>() {

    inner class FoodHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
        fun bindRecipe(recipe: Recipe) {
            itemView.textView.text = recipe.title
            itemView.textView3.text = recipe.publisher
            itemView.imageView.load(recipe.image_url) {
                // placeholder image is the image used
                // when our image url fails to load.
                placeholder(R.drawable.ic_baseline_error_24)
            }
            itemView.helptv.text = recipe.source_url
        }
    }

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerAdapter.FoodHolder {
        val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
            .inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_item_row, parent, false)

        return FoodHolder(view)
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerAdapter.FoodHolder, position: Int) {
        holder.bindRecipe(dataset.get(position))

    }

    override fun getItemCount(): Int = dataset.size
}

The code in the MainActivity where I put the text from that textview into an auxiliary variable and then switch to another activation:

    ConstandVar.browser_url = helptv.text.toString()            
val intent = Intent(this,BrowserActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)

layout recyclerview:

        })

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Please make little bit change to make adapter like that way read most of comment, RecyclerView itemClickListener in Kotlin

create callback listener and return url in main activity
