I have a recycler view inside my full screen alert dialog, but for some reason it doesn't display any of the items inside the ArrayList passed to the adapter.
I tried:
- Initializing the adapter after adding the items inside the ArrayList
- Use notifyItemInserted instead of using notifyDataSetChanged
- Checking if there is a problem with the item layout
My method that creates the full screen dialog:
private void showCommentsDialog() {
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context, R.style.Theme_SocialMeme).create();
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View dialogView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.comments_dialog_fragment, null);
ImageButton dismissDialogButton = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.imageButton17);
EditText comment = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.writeCommentET);
ImageButton addCommentBtn = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.imageButton18);
RecyclerView commentsRecyclerView = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.comments_recycler_view);
ArrayList<CommentModel> commentModelArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
CommentsRecyclerAdapter adapter = new CommentsRecyclerAdapter(commentModelArrayList, context, dialog.getOwnerActivity());
commentsRecyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
DatabaseReference rootRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
rootRef.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
if (snapshot.child("posts").child(postID).hasChild("comments")) {
for (DataSnapshot commentsSnapshot : snapshot.child("posts").child(postID).child("comments").getChildren()) {
CommentModel commentModel = new CommentModel();
commentModel.setAuthor(commentsSnapshot.child("author").getValue(String.class));
commentModel.setCommentID(commentsSnapshot.child("commentID").getValue(String.class));
commentModel.setAuthorUsername(commentsSnapshot.child("authorUsername").getValue(String.class));
commentModel.setPostID(commentsSnapshot.child("postID").getValue(String.class));
commentModel.setAuthorProfilePictureURL(commentsSnapshot.child("authorProfilePictureURL").getValue(String.class));
commentModel.setCommentText(commentsSnapshot.child("commentText").getValue(String.class));
commentModelArrayList.add(commentModel);
adapter.notifyItemInserted(commentModelArrayList.size() -1);
}
}
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError error) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Error: " error.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
dismissDialogButton.setOnClickListener(view -> dialog.dismiss());
dialog.setView(dialogView);
dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.DialogAnimation;
dialog.show();
}
My Adapter:
public class CommentsRecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter {
List<CommentModel> commentsList;
Context context;
Activity activity;
public CommentsRecyclerAdapter(List<CommentModel> commentsList, Context context, Activity activity) {
this.commentsList = commentsList;
this.context = context;
this.activity = activity;
}
@NonNull
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.comment_item, parent, false);
return new CommentViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
CommentViewHolder viewHolder = (CommentViewHolder) holder;
// Load profile picture
String profilePictureUrl = commentsList.get(position).getAuthorProfilePictureURL();
if (profilePictureUrl != null) {
if (!profilePictureUrl.equals("none")) {
Glide.with(context).load(profilePictureUrl).into(viewHolder.profilePicture);
}
}
viewHolder.usernameTV.setText(commentsList.get(position).getAuthorUsername());
viewHolder.commentContent.setText(commentsList.get(position).getCommentText());
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return commentsList.size();
}
}

CodePudding user response：
You have forgot to add LayoutManager to Recyclerview. If you are listing it vertically you can add layout manager as the following:
In View:
app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
android:orientation="vertical"
In Code:
commentsRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context, RecyclerView.VERTICAL, false));
