RecyclerView with RadioButton or CheckBox - Examples
In this tutorial we will look at creating and using a custom recyclerview with checkboxes or radiobuttons and how to handle their states.
Concepts you will Learn
This tutorial, via examples, aims to help you learn the following:
- How to create recyclerview with checkboxes or radiobuttons and appropriately handle their states.
- How to render data from mysql database, including boolean data, in a recyclerview with checkboxes.
- How to search/filter recyclerview with checkboxes while maintainning their checked/unchecked states.
Demos
Here are the some of the demos that will be created:
CheckBox Demo
RadioButton Demo
Example 1: Android RecyclerView CheckBoxes – Maintain Checked States
This is an android recyclerview checkboxes tutorial. We want to see how to first render checkboxes, images and text in a custom recyclerview with cardviews. Then get the selected or checked cardviews and show n a Toast message. We work with multiple checkboxes so we can multi-select or single-select items in our RecyclerView.
This will teach us how to properly retain checked states of our checkboxes in our recyclerview despite the recycling of our cardviews with checkboxes.
Then the user can click a floating action button to get the selected items and show in a Toast message.

Here's this tutorial in Video Format.
Step 1: Dependencies
We do not need any special dependency for this project. All we use are the standard androidx dependencies like recyclerview and cardview.
Step 2: Create Main Activity Layout
activity_main.xml
This will be our main activity layout and we write in XML. XML is a markup language that is not only used to create user interfaces but also exchnage data.In this case we use to create our android user interface.
This layout will be inflated into our main activity. At the root we will have a RelativeLayout.
We have a TextView which is our headerTextView to display the heading our android application.
Then we have a RecyclerView which in this case is our adapterview. This RecyclerView will render images, text and checkboxes.
Below the RecyclerView we will have a FloatingActionButton. When users click this FAB button, we will show the items that have been selected in the recyclerview. Remember our recyclerview will be comprising cardviews that have images, text and checkboxes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent"
tools_context="info.camposha.checkablerecyclerviews.MainActivity">
<TextView
android_id="@+id/headerTextView"
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_text="Spiritual Teachers"
android_textAlignment="center"
android_textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Large"
android_textColor="@color/colorAccent" />
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android_id="@+id/myRecycler"
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android_layout_alignParentStart="true"
android_layout_below="@+id/headerTextView"
android_layout_marginTop="30dp" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android_id="@+id/fab"
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android_layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android_layout_alignParentRight="true"
android_layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android_src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />
</RelativeLayout>
Step 3: Create a RecyclerView Item
model.xml
This layout will model a single cardview to be rendered among other cards in our recyclerview.
This layout will model all these cardviews. At the root we have the CardView as our element. CardView resides in the android.support.v7.widget namespace.
I have set the Card elevation to 5dp and card cornder radius to 10dp.
Inside it I have a RelativeLayout to organize my widgets relative to each other.
First we have the ImageView to render our Image. Then TextViews to render our texts.
To the far right of our CardView we will have a CheckBox that will hold the selection property of each cardview. The CheckBoxes can be checked or unchecked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android_orientation="horizontal" android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_margin="5dp"
card_view_cardCornerRadius="10dp"
card_view_cardElevation="5dp"
android_layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android_layout_width="150dp"
android_layout_height="150dp"
android_id="@+id/teacherImageView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_src="@drawable/cle" />
<TextView
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android_text="Teacher Name"
android_id="@+id/nameTextView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_textColor="@color/colorAccent"
android_layout_alignParentTop="true"
android_layout_toRightOf="@+id/teacherImageView" />
<TextView
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android_text="Teacher Description..."
android_id="@+id/descritionTextView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_layout_alignBottom="@+id/teacherImageView"
android_layout_toRightOf="@+id/teacherImageView" />
<CheckBox
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_id="@+id/myCheckBox"
android_layout_alignParentRight="true"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Step 4: MainActivity.java
Specify Package and add Imports
Our java class will reside in a package, so we specify one and add the appropriate imports.
These include our RecyclerView from the android.support.v7.widget package and CheckBox from android.widget package.
package info.camposha.checkablerecyclerviews;
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.DefaultItemAnimator;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import java.util.ArrayList;
Create Activity
An activity is an android component that representing a user interface.
To turn our ordinary class into an activity, we will make it derive from AppCompatActivity:
Create our POJO
Then we will create a POJO class, Plain OLd Java Object. This will represents a single Teacher object.
Each SpiritualTecaher will have several properties. Each object will be rendered in it's own CardView in our RecyclerView.
One of those properties will be the isSelected property, a boolean value that will hold for us the checked state of our CardView.
Create our View Holder
We will create our RecyclerView ViewHolder class by deriving from the RecyclerView.ViewHolder class.
Also the class will be implementing the View.OnClickListener interface. This will allow us to capture click events of our each CardView.
Create RecyclerView Adapter
Then we come create our RecyclerView.Adapter class, the class that will be our adapter class.
As an adapter class this class has two primary roles:
- Inflate our Custom Model Layout into a View Object.
- Bind data set to o our inflate views.
The data to be bound will be coming from a custom array, in this case an array of SpiritualTeachers:
This class will also maintain an arraylist that will hold our checkeed items.
Users will check the recyclerview items and we hold those checked items in this arraylist. Then later on we can display these checked items in a Toast message.
Inflate Layout into View
This will take place in our RecyclerView adapter, as we agreed. We need a LayoutInflater class to do this.
@Override
public MyHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v= LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.model,null);
MyHolder holder=new MyHolder(v);
return holder;
}
Then as you can see we've passed the inflate view object into our RecyclerView ViewHolder constructor. Then returned the View Holder instance.
Binding Data
We bind data inside the onBindViewHolder method:
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyHolder holder, int position) {
final SpiritualTeacher teacher=teachers[position];
holder.nameTxt.setText(teacher.getName());
holder.posTxt.setText(teacher.getQuote());
holder.myCheckBox.setChecked(teacher.isSelected());
holder.img.setImageResource(teacher.getImage());
...
}
First we've received the position of the item in our recyclerview and used it to get the current teacher from our array.
Then set TextView, imageView and CheckBox widgets with values from that object.
Maintain Checked and UnChecked Items
We then listen to click events of our CardView. Obviously clicking the CheckBox will change the state of that checkbox.
We check for these changes. If the checkbox is clicked, we will add the item in our arraylist.
If it's unchecked we remove the item from the arraylist.
holder.setItemClickListener(new MyHolder.ItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(View v, int pos) {
CheckBox myCheckBox= (CheckBox) v;
SpiritualTeacher currentTeacher=teachers[pos];
if(myCheckBox.isChecked()) {
currentTeacher.setSelected(true);
checkedTeachers.add(currentTeacher);
}
else if(!myCheckBox.isChecked()) {
currentTeacher.setSelected(false);
checkedTeachers.remove(currentTeacher);
}
}
});
Let's look at the full source code.

Example 2: SingleChoice RecyclerView – with RadioButtons
Android SingleChoice RecyclerView Tutorial
In this tutorial we want to see how to create a single choice recyclerview. That is a recyclerview with radiobuttons. User can select a single item and we open the item's detail activity thus showing it's data.
Why SingleChoice RecyclerView?
Well the alternative is multi-choice recyclerview, that is recyclerview with checkboxes. However in some cases you just want the user to be able to select a single item from the recyclerview. This is where radiobuttons come in.
However, in our case we will open a detail activity when the user selects a given radiobutton. Then we use intents to pass data to the detail activity.
What do we show?
Well we show images, text and radiobuttons. Normally images get rendered in imageview. The text will be rendered in textview. On the other hand the radiobuttons will show for us a compound state, basically checked or not.
Step 1: Gradle Scripts
(a) Build.gradle
No special dependency is required. We add CardView and recyclerview as our dependencies.
The CardView will hold our Galaxy objects. The RecyclerView will hold multiple cardviews. AppCompat will give us the AppCompatActivity from which our MainActivity extends.
Step 2: Create Layouts
We have three layouts
1. activity_main.xml
This layout will get inflated into MainActivity. It simply contains our RecyclerView. I have given mine a custom background color.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_background="#009968"
android_layout_height="match_parent">
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android_id="@+id/mRecylcerview"
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
2. activity_detail.xml
The Layout for our Detail activity. Contains imageview and textviews.to show our data.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent"
android_background="#009688"
tools_context=".DetailsActivity"

android_text="Description..."
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>
3. model.xml
This is our item view layout. It will get inflated into our recyclerview view items. This will be done by our RecyclerView adapter.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android_orientation="horizontal" android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_margin="1dp"
card_view_cardCornerRadius="1dp"
card_view_cardElevation="5dp"
android_layout_height="135dp">
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android_layout_width="120dp"
android_layout_height="120dp"
android_id="@+id/mGalaxyImageView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_scaleType="fitXY"
android_src="@drawable/placeholder" />
<TextView
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android_text="Name"
android_id="@+id/mNameTxt"
android_padding="5dp"
android_textColor="@color/colorAccent"
android_layout_alignParentTop="true"
android_layout_toRightOf="@+id/mGalaxyImageView" />
<TextView
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android_text="Description"
android_textStyle="italic"
android_maxLines="3"
android_id="@+id/mDescTxt"
android_padding="5dp"
android_layout_alignBottom="@+id/mGalaxyImageView"
android_layout_toRightOf="@+id/mGalaxyImageView" />
<RadioButton
android_id="@+id/mRadioButton"
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Step 4: Write Java Code.
We have the following java classes for this project:
- Galaxy.java
- RecyclerAdapter.java
- DetailsActivity.java
- MainActivity.java
(a).Galaxy.java
This will represent our data object. It is our model class and represents a galaxy with properties like:
- Name.
- Description
- Image.
Here's the full code.
package info.camposha.singlechoicerecyclerview_vela;
import java.io.Serializable;
/**
* Please take note that our data object will implement Serializable.This
* will allow us to pass this serialized object to DetailsActivity,
*/
public class Galaxy implements Serializable{
private String name,description;
private int image;
public Galaxy(String name, String description,int image) {
this.name = name;
this.description = description;
this.image=image;
}
public String getName() {return name;}
public String getDescription() {return description;}
public int getImage() {return image;}
}
You can see that we've implemented the Serializable interface. This allows us to serialize our data object so that it can be transported to the DetailsActivity activity as a whole via intent.
(b). RecyclerAdapter.java
This is our adapter class. It will inflate our model layout into a view object that can be rendered by the recyclerview. It will also bind data to those inflated view objects.
package info.camposha.singlechoicerecyclerview_vela;
import android.content.Context;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.AdapterView;

import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.List;
public class RecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<
RecyclerAdapter.RecyclerViewHolder> {
/**
* Let's start by defining our instance fields
*/
private int selectedStarPosition = -1;
private List<Galaxy> galaxies;
private Context c;
private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener;
/**

public RecyclerAdapter(Context context, List<Galaxy> mGalaxies) {
this.c = context;
this.galaxies = mGalaxies;
}
/**

* @param viewGroup
* @param i
* @return
*/
@Override
public RecyclerViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
final View v = LayoutInflater.from(c).inflate(R.layout.model, viewGroup, false);
return new RecyclerViewHolder(v, this);
}
/**
* OnBindViewHolder - Here's where we bind our data
* @param viewHolder
* @param position
*/
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerViewHolder viewHolder, final int position) {
Galaxy galaxy = galaxies.get(position);
try {
viewHolder.bindData(galaxy, position);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* Let's return the number of items to be bound to our adapter.
* @return
*/
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return galaxies.size();
}
/**
* Let's receive our onItemClickListener and assign it to our local one.
* @param onItemClickListener
*/
public void setOnItemClickListener(AdapterView.OnItemClickListener
onItemClickListener) {
this.onItemClickListener = onItemClickListener;
}
/**
* When user clicks our itemView, we still invoke the onItemClick
* @param holder
*/
public void onItemHolderClick(RecyclerViewHolder holder) {
if (onItemClickListener != null)
onItemClickListener.onItemClick(null, holder.itemView,
holder.getAdapterPosition(), holder.getItemId());
}
/**
* Let's come create our ViewHolder class.
*/
class RecyclerViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements
View.OnClickListener {
private RecyclerAdapter mAdapter;
private RadioButton mRadioButton;
private TextView mNameTxt,mDescTxt;
private ImageView mGalaxyImg;
/**
* In our constructor, we reference our itemView widgets.
* @param itemView
* @param mAdapter
*/
public RecyclerViewHolder(View itemView, final RecyclerAdapter mAdapter) {
super(itemView);
this.mAdapter = mAdapter;
mNameTxt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.mNameTxt);
mDescTxt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.mDescTxt);
mRadioButton = itemView.findViewById(R.id.mRadioButton);
mGalaxyImg=itemView.findViewById(R.id.mGalaxyImageView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
mRadioButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
/**
* Let's create a method that allows us bind our data.
* @param galaxy
* @param position
*/
public void bindData(Galaxy galaxy, int position) {
mRadioButton.setChecked(position == selectedStarPosition);
mNameTxt.setText(galaxy.getName());
mDescTxt.setText(galaxy.getDescription());
mGalaxyImg.setImageResource(galaxy.getImage());
}
/**
* Let's override our OnClick method.
* @param v
*/
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
selectedStarPosition = getAdapterPosition();
notifyItemRangeChanged(0, galaxies.size());
mAdapter.onItemHolderClick(RecyclerViewHolder.this);
}
}
}
//end
(c). DetailsActivity.java
Our detail activity class. This will show the details of the clicked galaxy.
package info.camposha.singlechoicerecyclerview_vela;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

//We start by initializing our widgets.
private void initializeWidgets() {
nameTxt = findViewById(R.id.nameTxt);
descTxt = findViewById(R.id.descTxt);
dateDetailTextView = findViewById(R.id.dateDetailTextView);
descTxt = findViewById(R.id.descTxt);
galaxyImg = findViewById(R.id.galaxyImg);
}

Example 3: Kotlin Android RecyclerView – CardView with CheckBox,Images,Text and ItemClick
Kotlin Android RecyclerView with CheckBoxes, Images, text and ItemClick supports Tutorial and Example.
I want to show you how you can work with the recyclerview in this tutorial and do common things like using it with checkboxes, images, textview and also supporting click events. All these we do in a single MainActivity.kt file.
Video Tutorial
If you prefer a video tutorial then check here:
What You Learn
Here are the concepts you learn:
- How to use Recyclerview in android with Kotlin Programming Language.
- How to use CheckBox with recyclerview and handle the checkbox states appropriately.
- How to create a recyclerview with images and text.
- How to support item click event in recyclerview.
Tools Used
Here are the tools I used for this project:
- Programming Language : Kotlin
- Framework - Android
- IDE - Android Studio.
- Emulator - Nox Player
- OS : Windows 8.1
Let's start.
Demo
Here are the demo for this project:
(a). Build.gradle
Our app level build.gradle. This is where we add our dependencies. Especially we are interested in three main of those:
- AppCompat - To give us the AppCompatActivity from which our
MainActivitywill derive. - Design Support - To give us the RecyclerView.
- CardView - To give us Cardview.
(b). activity_main.xml
This is our main activity's layout. Here are the components we use:
- RelativeLayout - To arrange our other widgets relative to each other.
- TextView - To render header text.
- RecyclerView - To render our data.
- Floating Action Button - To show the checked items when clicked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent"
tools_context="com.devosha.kotlin_recyclerview_checkbox.MainActivity">
<TextView
android_id="@+id/headerTextView"
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_text="Spiritual Teachers"
android_textAlignment="center"
android_textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Large"
android_textColor="@color/colorAccent" />
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android_id="@+id/myRecycler"
class="androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView"
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android_layout_alignParentStart="true"
android_layout_below="@+id/headerTextView"
android_layout_marginTop="30dp" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android_id="@+id/fab"
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android_layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android_layout_alignParentRight="true"
android_layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android_src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />
</RelativeLayout>
(c). model.xml
This layout will define our item views for our recyclerview, it will model them. Basically it will be rendering data for a single SpiritualTeacher object. At the root we have a CardView. Then we also have:
- ImageView - To render image for the
SpiritualTeacherobject. - TextVIew - To render his name as well as description.
- CheckBox - To allow us select and unselect the CardViews.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android_orientation="horizontal" android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_margin="5dp"
card_view_cardCornerRadius="10dp"
card_view_cardElevation="5dp"
android_layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android_layout_width="150dp"
android_layout_height="150dp"
android_id="@+id/teacherImageView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_src="@drawable/cle" />
<TextView
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android_text="Teacher Name"
android_id="@+id/nameTextView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_textColor="@color/colorAccent"
android_layout_alignParentTop="true"
android_layout_toRightOf="@+id/teacherImageView" />
<TextView
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android_text="Teacher Description..."
android_id="@+id/descritionTextView"
android_padding="5dp"
android_layout_alignBottom="@+id/teacherImageView"
android_layout_toRightOf="@+id/teacherImageView" />
<CheckBox
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_id="@+id/myCheckBox"
android_layout_alignParentRight="true"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
(d). MainActivity.kt
This is our main activity. This is our only file and we will define several inner kotlin classes here. This class will be deriving from the AppCompatActivity.
Create Data Object
We will start by defining an inner class called SpiritualTeacher:
inner class SpiritualTeacher(var name: String?, val quote: String, val image: Int) {
var isSelected: Boolean = false
}
That class is our data object. It will receive it's parameters via the constructor. Moreover we are maintaining a simple boolean as you can see that will hold for us the selection state of the CardViews. In fact this is the magic to allow us select and unselect our items in our recyclerview. Thus our recyclerview will not lose the state even as we scroll and the recyclerview items get recycled. This is because we are holding them as data in our object and they are not affected by the recycling.
Create RecyclerVew Adapter class
Normally the Adapter has two main roles. First to inflate our custom layouts and secondly to bind data to the resultant widgets. However recyclerview always goes further by allowing us to recycle items. This saves memory consumption as inflation is an expensive process and would impact negatively on our app if we were to do it for every item in the recyclerview.
So we will create an adapter:
internal class MyAdapter(var c: Context, var teachers: Array<SpiritualTeacher>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyHolder>() {..}
We've made it derive from the RecyclerView.Adapter class.
Inside the adapter first we will create an arraylist that will hold for us the teachers that have been checked:
It is inside the onCreateViewHolder() method where we will be inflating our model.xml into a View object. For that we use the LayoutInflater class.
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MyHolder {
val v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.model, null)
return MyHolder(v)
}

Example 4: Android MySQL – RecyclerView CheckBoxes – INSERT,SELECT,SHOW
This is an android mysql recyclerview with checkboxes tutorial. We see how to work with both text and boolean values with our mysql database.
- Today we explore how to work with Boolean and text values with MySQL and RecyclerView.
- First we insert data to MySQL database.
- The components we use as input views include chcekbox,spinner and material edittext.
- The user types his favorite spacecraft's name in the edittext,then selects that spaccecraft's propellant in a spinner.
- He then checks/unchecks a checkbox whether that technology exists now or not.
- We save that data to MySQL on button click.
- On retrieve' button click,we select data from MySQL and bind this text and boolean to our Checked RecyclerView,RecyclerView with CheckBoxes.
First let me say that we have the full,well commented source code above for download as a full reference.We have included the PHP file that we used.You'll place it in your server's root directory and modify things like username,table name etc.
Video Tutorial(ProgrammingWizards TV Channel)
Well we have a video tutorial as an alternative to this. If you prefer tutorials like this one then it would be good you subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Basically we have a TV for programming where do daily tutorials especially android.
Android MySQL RecyclerView CheckBoxes Insert, Select Show Example
Let's look at our example:
MySQL Table
Here's our mysql table structure:
Project Structure
Here's our project structure.
1. PHP Code
Here are our php code:
(a) Constants.php
Our PHP class to hold database constants like server name, database name, username and password. These credentials will be required for us to be able to connect to MySQL database.
<?php
class Constants
{
//DATABASE DETAILS
static $DB_SERVER="localhost";
static $DB_NAME="galileoDB";
static $USERNAME="root";
static $PASSWORD="";
const TB_NAME="galileoTB";
//STATEMENTS
static $SQL_SELECT_ALL="SELECT * FROM galileoTB";
}
(b) CRUD.php
This PHP file will allow us receive data from HTTP client by listening to and handling requests. We handle those requests by initiating the CRUD actions defined in our DBAdapater.php class.
<?php
require_once("/DBAdapter.php");
if($_POST['action']=="save"){
$dbAdapter=new DBAdapter();
$name=$_POST['name'];
$propellant=$_POST['propellant'];
$technologyexists=$_POST['technologyexists'];
$dbAdapter->insert(array($name,$propellant,$technologyexists));
}
else if($_POST['action']=="update")
{
$dbAdapter=new DBAdapter();
$id=$_POST['id'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$propellant=$_POST['propellant'];
$technologyexists=$_POST['technologyexists'];
$dbAdapter->update($id,array($name,$propellant,$technologyexists));
}
else if($_POST['action']=="delete")
{
$dbAdapter=new DBAdapter();
$id=$_POST['id'];
$dbAdapter->delete($id);
}
?>
(c) DBAdapter.php
This PHP file will contain functions that allow us perform CRUD operations on our MySQL database. Such actions include inserting and retrieving data to and from the database.
<?php
require_once("/Constants.php");
class DBAdapter

(d) Index.php
2. Gradle Scripts
Here are our gradle scripts in our build.gradle file(s).
(a). build.gradle(app)
Here's our app level build.gradle file. We have the dependencies DSL where we add our dependencies.
This file is called app level build.gradle since it's located in the app folder of the project.
If you are using Android Studio version 3 and above use implementation keyword while if you are using a version less than 3 then still use the compile keyword.
Once you've modified this build.gradle file you have to sync your project. Android Studio will indeed prompt you to do so.
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.0'
implementation 'com.amitshekhar.android:android-networking:0.2.0'
}
We are using Fast Android Networking Library as our HTTP Client. You may use newer versions.
3. Resoources
Android platform provides a powerful and flexible way of adding static content as a resource.
These static content will also be packaged into the APK file. The static content will be stored either as a resource or as an asset.
Resources belong to a given type. These types can be:
- Drawable.
- Layout.
- Value.
Let's start by looking at the layout resources
(a). model.xml
Our row model layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android_orientation="horizontal" android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_margin="10dp"
card_view_cardCornerRadius="5dp"

</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
(c). activity_main.xml
This layout will get inflated into the main activity's user interface. This will happen via the Activity's setContentView() method which will require us to pass it the layout.
We will do so inside the onCreate() method of Activity.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="match_parent"

android_layout_width="match_parent"
android_layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android_background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app_popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="@layout/content_main" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android_id="@+id/fab"
android_layout_width="wrap_content"
android_layout_height="wrap_content"
android_layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android_layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
android_src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
3. Java Code.
Android apps can be mainly written in Java or Kotlin. These days however there are many frameworks like Flutter also which use languages like Dart.
In this class we are using Java programming language.
We will have these classes in our project.
(a). Spacecraft.java
First lets define our fictional spacecraft's properties :
package com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mModel;
public class Spacecraft {
/*
INSTANCE FIELDS
*/
private int id;
private String name;
private String propellant;
private int technologyExists;
/*
GETTERS AND SETTERS
*/
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getPropellant() {
return propellant;
}
public void setPropellant(String propellant) {
this.propellant = propellant;
}
public int getTechnologyExists() {
return technologyExists;
}
public void setTechnologyExists(int technologyExists) {
this.technologyExists = technologyExists;
}
/*
TOSTRING
*/
@Override
public String toString() {
return name;
}
}
(b). MySQLClient.java
We are using Android Networking Library for our network calls.It does it in the background thread and is easy to use and fast.It shall be returning us JSOn responses that we can easily parse.Below is our MySQL client.
package com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mMySQL;
import android.content.Context;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.androidnetworking.AndroidNetworking;
import com.androidnetworking.common.Priority;
import com.androidnetworking.error.ANError;
import com.androidnetworking.interfaces.JSONArrayRequestListener;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mAdapter.MyAdapter;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mModel.Spacecraft;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MySQLClient {
//SAVE/RETRIEVE URLS
private static final String DATA_INSERT_URL="http://10.0.2.2/android/Aristotle/crud.php";
private static final String DATA_RETRIEVE_URL="http://10.0.2.2/android/Aristotle/index.php";
//INSTANCE FIELDS
private final Context c;
private MyAdapter adapter ;
public MySQLClient(Context c) {
this.c = c;
}
/*
SAVE/INSERT
*/
public void add(Spacecraft s, final View...inputViews)
{
if(s==null)
{
Toast.makeText(c, "No Data To Save", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
AndroidNetworking.post(DATA_INSERT_URL)
.addBodyParameter("action","save")
.addBodyParameter("name",s.getName())
.addBodyParameter("propellant",s.getPropellant())
.addBodyParameter("technologyexists",String.valueOf(s.getTechnologyExists()))
.setTag("TAG_ADD")
.build()
.getAsJSONArray(new JSONArrayRequestListener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
if(response != null)
try {
//SHOW RESPONSE FROM SERVER
String responseString = response.get(0).toString();
Toast.makeText(c, "PHP SERVER RESPONSE : " + responseString, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if (responseString.equalsIgnoreCase("Success")) {
//RESET VIEWS
EditText nameTxt = (EditText) inputViews[0];
Spinner spPropellant = (Spinner) inputViews[1];
nameTxt.setText("");
spPropellant.setSelection(0);
}else
{
Toast.makeText(c, "PHP WASN'T SUCCESSFUL. ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(c, "GOOD RESPONSE BUT JAVA CAN'T PARSE JSON IT RECEIVED : "+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
//ERROR
@Override
public void onError(ANError anError) {
Toast.makeText(c, "UNSUCCESSFUL : ERROR IS : "+anError.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
/*
RETRIEVE/SELECT/REFRESH
*/
public void retrieve(final RecyclerView rv)
{
final ArrayList<Spacecraft> spacecrafts = new ArrayList<>();
AndroidNetworking.get(DATA_RETRIEVE_URL)
.setPriority(Priority.HIGH)
.build()
.getAsJSONArray(new JSONArrayRequestListener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
JSONObject jo;
Spacecraft s;
try
{
for(int i=0;i<response.length();i++)
{
jo=response.getJSONObject(i);
int id=jo.getInt("id");
String name=jo.getString("name");
String propellant=jo.getString("propellant");
String techExists=jo.getString("technologyexists");
s=new Spacecraft();
s.setId(id);
s.setName(name);
s.setPropellant(propellant);
s.setTechnologyExists(techExists.equalsIgnoreCase("1") ? 1 : 0);
spacecrafts.add(s);
}
//SET TO RECYCLERVIEW
adapter =new MyAdapter(c,spacecrafts);
rv.setAdapter(adapter);
}catch (JSONException e)
{
Toast.makeText(c, "GOOD RESPONSE BUT JAVA CAN'T PARSE JSON IT RECEIEVED. "+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
//ERROR
@Override
public void onError(ANError anError) {
anError.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(c, "UNSUCCESSFUL : ERROR IS : "+anError.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
}
(c). MyViewHolder.java
Our ViewHolder class.
package com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mAdapter;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.R;
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
TextView txtName,txtPropellant;
CheckBox chkTechExists;
public MyViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
txtName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.nameTxt);
txtPropellant = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtPropellant);
chkTechExists = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(R.id.chkTechExists);
}
}
(d). MyAdapter.java
Below is our RecyclerView.Adapter class.Given that MySQL doesn't have a native boolean data type.We shall be mapping our boolean checkbox values to nullable integers.
package com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mAdapter;
import android.content.Context;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.R;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mModel.Spacecraft;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder> {
/*
INSTANCE FIELDS
*/
private Context c;
private ArrayList<Spacecraft> spacecrafts;
/*
CONSTRUCTOR
*/
public MyAdapter(Context c, ArrayList<Spacecraft> spacecrafts) {
this.c = c;
this.spacecrafts = spacecrafts;
}
/*
INITIALIZE VIEWHOLDER
*/
@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v= LayoutInflater.from(c).inflate(R.layout.model,parent,false);
return new MyViewHolder(v);
}
/*
BIND DATA
*/
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
Spacecraft s=spacecrafts.get(position);
holder.txtName.setText(s.getName());
holder.txtPropellant.setText(s.getPropellant());
holder.chkTechExists.setChecked(s.getTechnologyExists()==1);
}
/*
TOTAL NUM OF SPACECRAFTS
*/
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return spacecrafts.size();
}
}
(d). MainActivity.java
This is our launcher activity as the name suggests. This means it will be the main entry point to our app in that when the user clicks the icon for our app, this activity will get rendered first.
We override a method called onCreate(). Here we will start by inflating our main layout via the setContentView() method.
Our main activity is actually an activity since it's deriving from the AppCompatActivity.
package com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.widget.Toast;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mAdapter.MyAdapter;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mModel.Spacecraft;
import com.tutorials.hp.mysqlrecyclerbool.mMySQL.MySQLClient;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
//INSTANCE FIELDS
private TextInputEditText txtName;
private CheckBox chkTechnologyExists;
private Spinner spPropellant;
private RecyclerView rv;
private Button btnAdd,btnRetrieve;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//REFERENCE VIEWS
this.initializeViews();
populatePropellants();
//HANDLE EVENTS
this.handleClickEvents();
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
rv.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(MainActivity.this,new ArrayList<Spacecraft>()));
}
});
}
/*
REFERENCE VIEWS
*/
private void initializeViews()
{
txtName= (TextInputEditText) findViewById(R.id.nameTxt);
chkTechnologyExists= (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.techExists);
spPropellant= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.sp);
rv= (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.rv);
btnAdd= (Button) findViewById(R.id.addBtn);
btnRetrieve= (Button) findViewById(R.id.refreshBtn);
rv.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(MainActivity.this));
}
/*
HANDLE CLICK EVENTS
*/
private void handleClickEvents()
{
//EVENTS : ADD
btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//GET VALUES
String name=txtName.getText().toString();
String propellant=spPropellant.getSelectedItem().toString();
Boolean technologyexists=chkTechnologyExists.isChecked();
//BASIC CLIENT SIDE VALIDATION
if((name.length()<1 || propellant.length()<1 ))
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Please Enter all Fields", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
//SAVE
Spacecraft s=new Spacecraft();
s.setName(name);
s.setPropellant(propellant);
s.setTechnologyExists(technologyexists ? 1 : 0);
new MySQLClient(MainActivity.this).add(s,txtName,spPropellant);
}
}
});
//EVENTS : RETRIEVE
btnRetrieve.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
new MySQLClient(MainActivity.this).retrieve(rv);
}
});
}
private void populatePropellants()
{
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
adapter.add("None");
adapter.add("Chemical Energy");
adapter.add("Nuclear Energy");
adapter.add("Laser Beam");
adapter.add("Anti-Matter");
adapter.add("Plasma Ions");
adapter.add("Warp Drive");
spPropellant.setAdapter(adapter);
spPropellant.setSelection(0);
}
}
