Dynamically Changing Toolbar Item Visibility in on RecyclerView Click (Without the LongClick)


I have an app (based on this tutorial), and it has an activity that allows user to choose several friends to send messages to. Now, I also have the check icon in the upper right corner. When the user clicks on it, selected contacts are sent to parent activity. When the user clicks on a contact in recyclerview, contact's status changes from unselected to selected and vice versa.

Most tutorials and stack overflow answers suggest changing the toolbar on long click, but what I want to do is change it on recyclerview item click, ie. when the user clicks on recyclerview item I want to show the check button if the number of selected users is not 0 (selectedContacts != null), and hide the button if it is 0. I would also like to show hide it when the user starts the activity, based on the same condition. As I said, I have looked at a lot of SO answers, but I couldn't find any that worked for me. Some of the answers I tried: this, this, this, this, this, this...

This is what it looks like:

Solution

  • So I found a solution. I added this:

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_choose_contacts_action, menu);
    
        if (adapter.getSelectedItemCount() == 0) {
            menu.findItem(R.id.add).setVisible(false);
        } else {
            menu.findItem(R.id.add).setVisible(true);
        }
    
        if (getSupportActionBar() != null) {
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        }
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
        return true;
    }
    .....
    // Checking previously selected contacts
            if (selectedContacts != null) {
                new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(() -> {
    
                    List<Integer> selectedIndexes = new ArrayList<>();
    
                    // Finding indexes of selected contact ids
                    for (int i = 0; i < contactList.size(); i++) {
                        if (selectedContacts.contains(contactList.get(i).getUserId())) {
                            selectedIndexes.add(i);
                        }
                    }
    
                    // Triggering click on each selected item
                    for (int j = 0; j < selectedIndexes.size(); j++) {
                        recyclerView.getChildAt(selectedIndexes.get(j)).performClick();
                    }
                    invalidateOptionsMenu();
                }, 500);
    ......
     @Override
            public void onClick(View view, int position) {
                // invalidateOptionsMenu(); (resetting onCreateOptionsMenu) executed with 600 millis delay, otherwise it will happen before the 500 millis
                // delay when checking previously selected contacts
                new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(() -> invalidateOptionsMenu(), 600);
            }
