Handle touch event for items inside Recyclerview - android

One way is to update your holder to handle any view clicks internally, e.g.

public class CategoryViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnCreateContextMenuListener, View.OnClickListener, CompoundButton.OnSetCheckedListener {
    public CategoryViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        itemView.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(this);
        itemView.setOnClickListener(this);

        catName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.category_name);
        catStatus = (SwitchCompat) itemView.findViewById(R.id.category_switch);
        catStatus.setOnCheckChangedListener(this);
    }

    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        // deal with catStatus change
    }

    public void onClick(View view) {
        // deal with itemView click
    }
}

1. Create class RecyclerTouchListener

   public class RecyclerTouchListener implements RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {
   private GestureDetector gestureDetector;
   private ClickListener clickListener;
   
   public RecyclerTouchListener(Context context, final RecyclerView recyclerView, final ClickListener clickListener) {
       this.clickListener = clickListener;
       gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
           @Override
           public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
               return true;
           }
   
           @Override
           public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
               View child = recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
               if (child != null && clickListener != null) {
                   clickListener.onLongClick(child, recyclerView.getChildPosition(child));
               }
           }
       });
   }
   
   @Override
   public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {
       View child = rv.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
       if (child != null && clickListener != null && gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {
           clickListener.onClick(child, rv.getChildPosition(child));
       }
       return false;
   }
   
   @Override
   public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {
   
   }
   
   @Override
   public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {
   
   }
   
   public interface ClickListener {
       void onClick(View view, int position);
   
       void onLongClick(View view, int position);
     }
   }
   

2. Use this Listener in Activity

   recyclerview.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerTouchListener(getActivity(), recyclerview, new RecyclerTouchListener.ClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View view, int position) {
   
              // Write your code here
   
           }
   
           @Override
           public void onLongClick(View view, int position) {
   
           }
       }));
