RecycleView item background color changing - background

Question

I would like to change the background color of some current item in RecycleView.
I know how can I do if the TextView contains a current string,
like this:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
String meta_data = mData.get(position);
if (meta_data.contains("High")) holder.myTextView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FF003B"));
holder.myTextView.setText(meta_data);
but I dont know how can I do if the examined string is not in the TextView but in
SharedPreferences
Please help me, how should I modify the onBindViewHolder method to ablet to handle that.
Here is my full code, where I get the data from SharedPreferences and fill the RecycleView list, and the SharedPreferences value contains "High", "Medium", "Low" values, what I dont want to present in the RecyleView, but I would like to change the color of the iotem background based on that data.
package com.example.recycleviewapp;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class ToDoList extends AppCompatActivity implements MyRecyclerViewAdapter.ItemClickListener, View.OnClickListener {
MyRecyclerViewAdapter adapter;
public Button btn;
public SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
public SharedPreferences.Editor myEdit;
private ArrayList<String> items;
public RecyclerView recyclerView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_shoppinglist);
sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("ToDoList", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
myEdit = sharedPreferences.edit();
btn = findViewById(R.id.button);
items = new ArrayList<>();
StartDisplay();
recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.list);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
adapter = new MyRecyclerViewAdapter(this,items);
adapter.setClickListener(this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
btn.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("ToDoList", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String item_click =adapter.getItem(position);
String[] itemarray = item_click.split(" ",0);
//Toast.makeText(this, adapter.RemoveItem(position), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//adapter.RemoveItem(position);
myEdit = sharedPreferences.edit();
myEdit.remove(itemarray[0]);
myEdit.commit();
adapter.notifyItemRemoved(position);
items.remove(item_click);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent NewTLItem = new Intent(ToDoList.this, NewTLItem.class);
startActivity(NewTLItem);
}
#Override
public void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
StartDisplay();
}
public void StartDisplay()
{
sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences("ToDoList", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
Map<String, ?> allEntries = sharedPreferences.getAll();
items.clear();
for (Map.Entry<String, ?> entry : allEntries.entrySet())
{
String [] item_total = entry.getValue().toString().split(";");
items.add(entry.getKey() + " " + item_total[0]);
}
}
}
