Android RecyclerView how to change first item it's text color

Question

I'm using a Adapter and RecyclerView. I try to change the color of the first item in my RecyclerView. I do this in my onBindViewHolder and the first one indeed changes how i want it to but if i check 8 views furter i see that that one is changed aswell. It's a bit consistant, item number 0 is changed, 1,2,3,4 isn't 5 is, 6,7,8,9 isn't 10 is etc...

If I go debugging i see that my if statement is getting triggerd alot of time's. If i search on internet I see people use the same kinda way (in onBindViewHolder). Dont know what im doing wrong :(

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull oScheduleAvailabilityViewHolder scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder, int position) {
    oSchedule oSchedule = oScheduleArrayList.get(position);
    scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.scheduleAvailabilityTextView.setTypeface((oSchedule.getSelected()) ? Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD : Typeface.SANS_SERIF);
    scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.scheduleAvailabilityTextView.setText(oSchedule.getScheduleName());

    if (position == 0) {
            scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.scheduleAvailabilityTextView.setTextColor(0xFFd45155);
            scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.test.setBackgroundColor(0xFF1D3587);
        }
    }

I want only the first item (adapterPosition 0 or position 0) to be changed in color and background. Right now also a consistant amount of other views are.

Answer 1

I think this way it work's better for performance. It will trigger only the first item each time created/recycled.

private static final int TYPE_AVAILABILITY = 1;
private static final int TYPE_WEEK = 2;

I used this way once before in a project.

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull oScheduleAvailabilityViewHolder scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder, int position) {
    oSchedule oSchedule = oScheduleArrayList.get(position);
    scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.scheduleAvailabilityTextView.setTypeface((oSchedule.getSelected()) ? Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD : Typeface.SANS_SERIF);
    scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.scheduleAvailabilityTextView.setText(oSchedule.getScheduleName());

    if (scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.getItemViewType() == TYPE_AVAILABILITY) {
        Log.i(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: TEST FIRST");
        scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.scheduleAvailabilityTextView.setTextColor(0xFFd45155);
        scheduleAvailabilityViewHolder.test.setBackgroundColor(0xFF1D3587);
    }
}

@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
    if (position == 0) {
        return TYPE_AVAILABILITY;
    } else {
        return TYPE_WEEK;
    }
}
