If data in a recycler view item is null don't display the view holder












0















I want to check if data that comes from the server is null or not. If is not null then populate the recycler view item in my case being a CardView and if it is null don't display the CardView at all.



In my recycler view adapter i have this:



override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
var firstName = itemsList[position].firstName
var lastName = itemsList[position].lastName

if (firstName.isNullOrEmpty() && lastName.isNullOrEmpty()) {
//...what shoud i write here ?
} else {
holder.name?.text = firstName + " " + lastName
}
}

class ViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {

val name = itemView.name
}

  • I think this should be handled from getItemViewType method of RecyclerView.Adapter

you should do something like this:



override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
var firstName = itemsList[position].firstName
var lastName = itemsList[position].lastName

if (firstName.isNullOrEmpty() && lastName.isNullOrEmpty()) {
yourCardView.visibility = View.INVISIBLE //or GONE if you do not want to keep its space
holder.name?.text = ""
} else {
yourCardView.visibility = View.VISIBLE
holder.name?.text = firstName + " " + lastName
}
}

class ViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {

val name = itemView.name
}


but if cardview is your root item and you do not want to show the list item at all,you should change your main list with a code like this in your adapter constructor:



        filteredList = itemsList?.filter {
(it.firstname.isNullOrEmpty() || it.lastName.isNullOrEmpty()).not()
}

  • if cardview is in your list-item you should findViewById it in ViewHolder and access it same as holder.name (for example holder.cardView.visibility) but if cardview is in your activity you should hide it by passing an interface that implemented in your activity or pass it in adapter constructor

  • Thank you so much it works now. One more thing though...even if I set the visibility to View.GONE the space of the cardView is still showing in the list.

Even if you change the visibility of the CardView the gap in the RecyclerView will be there.

It's better to remove the empty items from the list, prior to setting the adapter:



list.removeIf { it.firstName.isNullOrEmpty() && it.lastName.isNullOrEmpty() }
