Check the Item selected from the AutoCompleteTextV

Question

I have AutoCmpleteTextView and RecyclerView in my app. When I searched and selected an item from the AutCompleteTextView it will added to the RecyclerView. It worked very well. But I want to know whether the selected item is already exist in the RecyclerView. Avoid item duplication.

This is my code.

final AutoCompleteTextView acTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView);

        adapter = new MaterialSuggestionAdapter(getApplicationContext());
        acTextView.setAdapter(adapter);
        acTextView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                Product result = adapter.getItem(position);
                String newName = result.getMatName().toString();
                String newQty = String.valueOf(result.getMatQuantity());
                String newPCode = result.getMatNo().toString();
                String newPlant = result.getMatPlant().toString();

                if (!newName.equals("")) {
                    if (myRecyclerViewAdapter.getItemCount() > 0) {
                        if (newName != myRecyclerViewAdapter.getItemName(position).toString()) {
                            myRecyclerViewAdapter.add(1, newName, newQty, newPCode, newPlant);
                        } else {
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Product Already in the List", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }
                    } else {
                        myRecyclerViewAdapter.add(0, newName, newQty, newPCode, newPlant);
                        }
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Invalied Item!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                acTextView.setText("");
            }
        });


    }

If I changed position to 1 in this line if (newName != myRecyclerViewAdapter.getItemName(position).toString())

LogCat give me this error

Answer 1

Depending on the comments, if you want to check if the item if present in RecyclerView then try to do like this:

if (myRecyclerViewAdapter.getItemCount() > 0) {
    if (!isPresent(newName, myRecyclerViewAdapter)) {
        myRecyclerViewAdapter.add(1, newName, newQty, newPCode, newPlant);
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Product Already in the List", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

And isPresent can be defined like this:

private boolean isPresent(String name, MyRecyclerViewAdapter myRecyclerViewAdapter){
    boolean isPresent = false;
    for(int i = 0; i < myRecyclerViewAdapter.getItemCount(); i++){
            if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(myRecyclerViewAdapter.getItemName(i).toString())){
                isPresent = true;
                break;
            }
    }
    return isPresent;
}
