android - How to highlight selected item in RecyclerView

Question

I have used RecyclerView for showing thumbnails in my Image Editing app.Each item of its comprises of a ImageView(thumbnail) and a textView.In my application I want to highlight only current selected thumbnail when clicked.Gone through all the related posts on SO but couldn't find any better solution.

My Adapter Class

    public class FiltersAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<FiltersAdapter.ViewHolder> {

    private Context mContext;
    private List<Type> mDataSet;
    private Uri selectedPhoto;

    public enum Type {
        Original,
        Grayscale,
        Sepia,
        Contrast,
        Invert,
        Pixel,
        Sketch,
        Swirl,
        Brightness,
        Vignette
    }

    public FiltersAdapter(Context context, List<Type> dataSet, Uri selectedPhoto) {
        mContext = context;
        mDataSet = dataSet;
        this.selectedPhoto = selectedPhoto;
    }

    @Override
    public FiltersAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.list_item_layout, parent, false);
        return new ViewHolder(v);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(FiltersAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        switch (mDataSet.get(position)) {
            case Original:
                holder.image.setImageResource(R.drawable.no_filter);
                break;
            case Grayscale:
                Picasso.with(mContext)
                        .load(R.drawable.no_filter)
                        .transform(new GrayscaleTransformation())
                        .into(holder.image);
                break;
            case Sepia:
                Picasso.with(mContext)
                        .load(R.drawable.no_filter)
                        .transform(new SepiaFilterTransformation(mContext))

                        .transform(new ContrastFilterTransformation(mContext, 2.0f))
                        .into(holder.image);
                break;
            case Invert:

Answer 1

Just add this below line in bindView

holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));

will work for you.

if you want to highlight selected item just do like below

set it global

int selectedPosition=-1;

inside onBindViewHolder-

public void onBindViewHolder(FiltersAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
if(selectedPosition==position)
  holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
else
  holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));

holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                selectedPosition=position;
                notifyDataSetChanged();

            }
        });
}
