I have an arrayList<> of strings and I added 10 strings to it.
private val names: ArrayList<String> = arrayListOf()
These are the strings added
[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Creed 2, The Equalizer 2, Ride Along 2, Mission Impossible, Mission Impossible II, Mission Impossible III, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Suicide Squad]
I have a recycler view with its adapter as follows:
class MovieSeriesAdapter(
private val movie: MoviesInSeries,
private val movieNameList: ArrayList<String>?,
private val restMoviesPosition: Int,
): RecyclerView.Adapter<MovieSeriesAdapter.ViewHolder>() {
class ViewHolder(binding: SeriesMoviesItemBinding): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root) {
val mainThing = binding.mainThing
val tvMovieNameAndYear = binding.seriesMovieNameAndYear
}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
return ViewHolder(SeriesMoviesItemBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context), parent, false))
}
@SuppressLint("SetTextI18n")
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
if (position % 2 != 0) {
holder.mainThing.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#E8E8E8"))
}
val RestMoviesList = Constants.getRestOfSeriesMovies()
var targetPosition: Int = 0
when (movie.originalMovieName) {
"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" -> targetPosition = 0
"Creed" -> targetPosition = 1
"The Equalizer" -> targetPosition = 2
"Ride Along" -> targetPosition = 3
"Mission Impossible" -> targetPosition = 4
"Suicide Squad" -> targetPosition = 9
"Venom" -> targetPosition = 10
}
val targetMovieName = movieNameList!![targetPosition]
holder.tvMovieNameAndYear.text = "$targetMovieName ($targetMovieDate)"
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return 5
}
The thing is that sometimes I need the recycler view to show 5 items, as in the case below. For Example, I have 5 movies of mission impossible and I want to show them. But the targetPosition is an integer variable of only one number.
I tried creating an array list of only the mission impossible movies but it showed identical 5 items with all of the data in one item.
How do I make it that when I need 5 items to be displayed, each item should get a diffent value from the name array list.
