Chip Group OnCheckedChangeListener() not triggered

Question

I'm trying to make a recyclerview filter based ChipGroup & Chip

I'm use fragment on my app, so, the fragment who contain the RecyclerView contain a frameLayout who inflate the ChipGroup filter fragment

I'm trying to trigger a listener when the user unselect all chip inside ChipGroup (I've already put listener on chip for trigger when chip are checked by user)

I've already put some listener on chipgroup but no one are trigered

FilterFragment.java

public class FilterFragment extends Fragment {
// TODO: Rename parameter arguments, choose names that match
// the fragment initialization parameters, e.g. ARG_ITEM_NUMBER
public ChipGroup chipGroup;

// TODO: Rename and change types of parameters
public View.OnClickListener chipClickListener;

private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;

public FilterFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


public static FilterFragment newInstance(View.OnClickListener 
param1) {
    CoachFilterFragment fragment = new CoachFilterFragment();
    Bundle args = new Bundle();

    fragment.setArguments(args);
    return fragment;
}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (getArguments() != null) {

    }
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup 
container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_filter, 
container, false);
    this.chipGroup = view.findViewById(R.id.chipGroup);
    for(Skill skill : ((MainActivity)getContext()).api.skills){

        Chip chip = new Chip(getContext());
        chip.setId(skill.getId());


        chip.setText(skill.getName());
        chip.setOnClickListener(chipClickListener);
        chip.setCheckable(true);
        chipGroup.addView(chip);

    }

    chipGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener((chipGroup, id) -> {
      Log.d("test","ok");
    });


    return view;
}

public void onButtonPressed(Uri uri) {
    if (mListener != null) {
        mListener.onFragmentInteraction(uri);
    }
}

@Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
    super.onAttach(context);

}

@Override
public void onDetach() {
    super.onDetach();
    mListener = null;
}



public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
    // TODO: Update argument type and name
    void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
  }
}

        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

       </com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup>
   </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

</FrameLayout>

Someone have any idea why any listener are not triggered by my ChipGroup?Maybe I'm missing some parameter or something?

Answer 1

Your code is fine the only issue is that setOnCheckedChangeListener() only work when your ChipGroup is for singleSelection

Read this documentation of ChipGroup

setOnCheckedChangeListener()

• Register a callback to be invoked when the checked chip changes in this group.
• This callback is only invoked in single selection mode.

ALSO READ

Handling Checked Chips

Call setOnCheckedChangeListener(OnCheckedChangeListener) to register a callback to be invoked when the checked chip changes in this group. This callback is only invoked in single selection mode.

if you want use setOnCheckedChangeListener() of ChipGroup than you need to make app:singleSelection="true"

UPDATE

based on your below comment i have added sample code to manage to handle when ChipGroup selection

SAMPLE CODE for maintain selection in ChipGroup

Answer 2

All chips need to have the android:checkable="true" property for the trigger to exist on them.

In adittion to setting the initial check of any chip (without giving a tap), the order of execution must be first the creation of the listener with chipGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener() and then chip.isChecked = true.

So you could handle the checkable property from the xml and isChecked dynamically.

.xml

<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
    ..
    app:singleSelection="true">
    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        ..
        android:checkable="true"/>

.kt

binding.chipGroup.setOnCheckedChangeListener { chipGroup, i -> 

}
binding.firstChip.isChecked = true   //default

Answer 3

Chip Click listener will only work if the single selection was set to true in chipGroup.

app:singleSelection="true"

If you're using the style like below, then make sure it was also given to every individual chip as well.

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Choice"

like this:

<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
                android:id="@+id/chip_group"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
                app:singleSelection="true"
                style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Choice">
