[SOLVED] What's the best way to pass a whole recyclerview to another activity using Intent?

What's the best way to pass a whole recyclerview to another activity using Intent?

My RecyclerView in one activity is made up of an ArrayList of my custom object. Because this activity is in the edit mode, I would like to pass all the contents of this RecyclerView into another activity that is in non-edit mode. What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks!

Solution

You don't need two activities. You can achieve your goal with a single activity. You can use some flag like isEditMode inside your adapter. It will be used to adapt interface for specific mode. When you need to change mode -- just change isEditMode field and then call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged().

Note. You also need change method onBindViewHolder of your adapter to react to a mode changing. Like:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull K holder, int position) {
    if (isEditMode) {
        // Set up item for edit mode
    } else {
        // Set up item for non-edit mode
    }
