Unresolved Reference: Layout_inflater_service Inside Onbindviewholder

Inside OnBindViewHolder of my RecyclerView Adapter, I got multiple items. One of those (ITEM_TRATAMENTOS) got a setOnClickListener which has the purpose of create an LinearLayout w

Solution 1:

An alternative solution is to get the LayoutInflater from parentLinearLayout ViewGroup.

Example

parentLinearLayout?.apply { 
    val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context) // context is now available in the receiver scopeval rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.used_products_field, this, false)
    addView(rowView) // Add the view to the last position
}

Also, be aware of the consequences of adding too many views without recycling them. Probably you'd need another RecyclerView if the number is big enough.

Solution 2:

Step #1: Add a LayoutInflater parameter to the constructor of your RecyclerView.Adapter subclass.

Step #2: When you create the RecyclerView.Adapter, pass in a LayoutInflater, obtained from getLayoutInflater() on your activity.

For example, here is a RecyclerView.Adapter named ColorAdapter:

import android.view.LayoutInflater

import androidx.recyclerview.widget.ListAdapter

classColorAdapter(privateval inflater: LayoutInflater) :
  ListAdapter<Int, ColorViewHolder>(ColorDiffer) {

  overridefunonCreateViewHolder(
    parent: ViewGroup,
    viewType: Int
  ): ColorViewHolder {
    return ColorViewHolder(inflater.inflate(R.layout.row, parent, false))
  }

  overridefunonBindViewHolder(holder: ColorViewHolder, position: Int) {
    holder.bindTo(getItem(position))
  }

  privateobject ColorDiffer : DiffUtil.ItemCallback<Int>() {
    overridefunareItemsTheSame(oldColor: Int, newColor: Int): Boolean {
      return oldColor == newColor
    }

    overridefunareContentsTheSame(oldColor: Int, newColor: Int): Boolean {
      return areItemsTheSame(oldColor, newColor)
    }
  }
}

Notice that my ColorAdapter constructor has private val inflater: LayoutInflater as a parameter.

Here is the activity that uses that ColorAdapter:

    .take(25)
    .toList()
}

Since you and I are both writing in Kotlin, the getLayoutInflater() call turns into a reference to the layoutInflater property on the activity. So, when I create my ColorAdapter, I use ColorAdapter(layoutInflater), to pass in an instance of LayoutInflater.
