Problems using VIewHolder fun and variable - kotlin

Question

I'm having trouble binding my ViewHolder, and I've got two warning that I believe are related. I am trying to use Hilt to create a clickable ViewHolder, so in my SessionAdapter I am using an inner class to bind my SessionViewHolder to my RecyclerView.
First, I am struggling to understand what to return for the inner class SessionViewHolder fun bind(session: Session) { ...}. Android Studio is telling me function "bind" is never used, but I thought I used it in my onBindViewHolder?
Secondly, in my override onBindViewHolder I don't understand how I should use val session?
#AndroidEntryPoint
class SessionFragment : Fragment() {
var adapter: SessionAdapter = SessionAdapter()
private val sessionAdapter = SessionListAdapter(this::onSessionClicked)
private fun onSessionClicked(session: Session): Session {
return(session)
}
class SessionAdapter {
fun setOnClickListener() {
return(addSessionToItinerary())
}
private fun addSessionToItinerary() {
return addSessionToItinerary()
}
}
class SessionListAdapter(
private val onSessionCLicked: (Session) -> Unit,
) : ListAdapter<Session, SessionListAdapter.SessionViewHolder>(SessionItemCallback) {
inner class SessionViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
fun bind() {
val textView = itemView.findViewById<TextView>(0)
fun bind(session: Session) {
textView.text = session.title
itemView.setOnClickListener {
onSessionCLicked(session)
return#setOnClickListener
}
}
}
}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): SessionViewHolder {
val layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
val itemView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_session_list, parent, false)
return SessionViewHolder(itemView)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: SessionViewHolder, position: Int) {
val session = getItem(position)
holder.bind()
}
}
Thank you in advance for you help. I have gotten myself confused with the recurrence of bind and session throughout my adapter.

Answer 1

See here in this code, you have defined two bind functions, but one is nested inside the other so it is unusable:
fun bind() {
val textView = itemView.findViewById<TextView>(0)
fun bind(session: Session) {
textView.text = session.title
itemView.setOnClickListener {
onSessionCLicked(session)
return#setOnClickListener
}
}
}
The outer bind() function is the one you are calling, and it doesn't make sense to bind nothing. This function gets a reference to a TextView, and it creates a function that is never used.
Another problem is that you are passing 0 to findViewById. There is never going to be a view with an ID of 0. You need to pass R.id.whateverYourTextViewIsNamedInYourXml.
Side note, return#onClickListener is unnecessary. If a function doesn't return anything, putting a return statement on the last line doesn't do anything.
To make it work, you should replace the above code with something like this, but replace the name of the text view with whatever ID you assigned it in your XML:
fun bind(session: Session) {
val textView = itemView.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.myTextView)
textView.text = session.title
itemView.setOnClickListener {
onSessionCLicked(session)
}
}
and then pass the session to this function when you call it.
Side note, your SessionAdapter class doesn't make any sense at all, but you're not using it for anything anyway. I would delete that.
