TagListAdapter.java

import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import com.scanners.android.bao.R;

/**

public class TagListAdapter extends PFRecyclerViewAdapter<Tag> {
    public TagListAdapter(Context context, OnViewHolderClick listener) {
        super(context, listener);
    }

    @Override
    protected View createView(Context context, ViewGroup viewGroup, int viewType) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_text_color, viewGroup, false);

        return view;
    }

    @Override

        if (item != null) {
            TextView name = (TextView) viewHolder.getView(R.id.text_name);
            TextView type = (TextView) viewHolder.getView(R.id.text_type);
            View verticalBar = viewHolder.getView(R.id.vertical_bar);

            name.setText(item.name);
            type.setText(item.type);
            verticalBar.setBackgroundColor(item.primaryColor != null ? Color.parseColor(item.primaryColor) : Color.parseColor(Tag.DEFAULT_COLOR));
        }
    }
}

Where can I get an example of how this code is used, there are some examples that I can use to simplify understanding.

I look forward to your comments and thank you in advance.

For some reason the OnClickListener doesn't work. I have a renamed it to CustomAdapter and the UserAdapter is the one that I am trying to instantiate.
UserAdapter userAdapter = new UserAdapter(getContext(), new CustomAdapter.OnViewHolderClick() {
@OverRide
public void onClick(View view, int position, User item) {
// do stuff
}
});

I have written a simple generic adapter that needs no code for adapters or holder.
Take a look please : https://github.com/ashkanpower/SURAdapter

@timothycoutlakis that won't work since the bindings will be in TagListAdapter, so following the example it should be called in the createView before the view return with: ButterKnife.bind(this, view);

With some more changes one could push this to the generic Adapter but this would be the quickest way.

edit: I haven't tested but I think I'm actually mistaken. The view after recycling will display wrong results unless the binding occurs in a ViewHolder with a similar structure as a standard Adapter. I'm actually still trying to find a nice way to make use of this with ButterKnife but can't seem to.

I modified @Plumillon code and created even more generic RecyclerView.Adapter

Hey mate, Nice one… Actually i has done some rework on that and see what we've got..
I've made it the most dynamic generic adapter ever.
