Android - How To retrieve EditText value from Recy

Question

How can I retrieve the value from all EditTexts created by the RecyclerView in MainActivity?

In my RecyclerView Adapter I'm extending my inner class:

public class MyPersonalAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyPersonalAdapter.MyPersonalViewHolder>

I'm getting a reference to the EditText in that inner class:

 class MyPersonalViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        TextView numberTextView;
        EditText nameEditText;

        public MyPersonalViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            numberTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_number);
            nameEditText = (EditText) itemView.findViewById(R.id.et_name);
        }
    }

and in my MainActivity I want to use:

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    String name = "Somehow get that name";
    cv.put(MyContract.MyEntry.COLUMN_NAME, "name");
}

Answer 1

I created a getData function inside my Adapter class.

public String getData()
{
    String s;
    s=txt1.getText().toString();
    return s;
}

Then in my MainActivity

public void onSave(View view) {

    String[] s=new String[length];

    for(int i=0;i<ad.getItemCount();i++)
    {
       s[i]=ad.getData().toString();

    }
}

By this, you can save edit text entries in the array.

Try this way,

class MyPersonalViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    TextView numberTextView;
    EditText nameEditText;

    public MyPersonalViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        numberTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_number);
        nameEditText = (EditText) itemView.findViewById(R.id.et_name);
        nameEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                values.add(getAdapterPosition(),s.toString());
            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

            }
        });
    }
}

Also, define a function

public String getValue(int position){
    return  values.get(position);
}

Now getValue can call from MainActivity.

//So the other day I spend full day to get data(list of edittext) from recyclerview to activity when i press 
button in activity
//perform onclick of button

Here is the code in adapter,Did't work with textchange listener..So i had to used textchange listener and setOnfoucusChange(100% working)

    holder.mComment.setOnFocusChangeListener(new 
    View.OnFocusChangeListener() {

            @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

            /* When focus is lost check that the text field
             * has valid values.
             */

            if (!hasFocus) {
                String data=holder.mComment.getText().toString();
                commentList[position]=data;
            }

            if(position==mList.size()-1){
                holder.mComment.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
                    @Override
                    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int i, int i1, int i2) {
                        commentList[position]=s.toString();
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {

                    }
                });
            }
        }
    });
Intent intent = new Intent("mrn_intent");
            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putSerializable("comment_list",(Serializable)commentList);
            args.putSerializable("rating_list", (Serializable) mRatingList);
            intent.putExtra("BUNDLE_COMMENT",args);

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).sendBroadcast(intent);

And in activity write the following code

Bundle args2 = intent.getBundleExtra("BUNDLE_COMMENT");
        if(args2!=null){

            list = (String[]) args2.getSerializable("comment_list");

            Log.d(TAG, "onReceive: list+++=>>>>>>"+list);
        }

try this:

for(int i=0;i<adapter.getItemCount();i++){
    MyPersonalViewHolder  viewHolder= (MyPersonalViewHolder ) 
    mRecyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(i);
    EditText editText=viewHolder.nameEditText;
}

Answer 5

Got it working, here is the edited code:

mAdapter = new MyClassAdapter(this, mDataset.size);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mRecyclerview.setItemViewCacheSize(mDataset.size());

List<ContentValues> list = new ArrayList<>();

for (int i = 0; i < mDataset.size(); i++) {
    View view = recyclerView.getChildAt(i);
    EditText nameEditText = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.et_name);
    String name = nameEditText.getText().toString();

    ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
    cv.put(MyContract.MyEntry.COLUMN_NAME, name);
    list.add(cv)
}

// I encapsulated this in a try catch
for (ContentValues c:list) {
    mDb.insert(MyClassContract.MyClassEntry.TABLE_NAME, null, c);
}

Answer 6

This worked for me:

mySetEnabled is a method I implemented within my viewHolder.

if(mRecView!=null) {
    int size=mRecView.getChildCount();
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        myAdapter.myViewHolder wordView = (myAdapter.myViewHolder)mRecView.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(i);
        if(wordView!=null)
            wordView.mySetEnabled(state);
    }
}
