What makes me puzzled is how to bind view in Recycleler.ViewHolder. This is my simple adapter and how to Convert it to kotlin use kotlin-android-extensions without ButterKnife?

public class RoomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ViewHolder> {    private OnItemClickListener mListener;   private List<LocationBean> mRooms;    static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {    @BindView(R.id.tv_title)   TextView tvTitle;    public ViewHolder(View itemView) {    super(itemView);    ButterKnife.bind(this, itemView);    }   }    public void setData(List<LocationBean> rooms) {    mRooms = rooms;    notifyDataSetChanged();   }    @Override   public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {     View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())       .inflate(R.layout.item_first_select, parent, false);     return new ViewHolder(view);   }    @Override   public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {   holder.tvTitle.setText(mRooms.get(position).getLocation());    holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {     @Override     public void onClick(View v) {       mListener.onItemClickListener(v, holder.getLayoutPosition());      }     });   }    @Override   public int getItemCount() {     return mRooms == null ? 0 : mRooms.size();   }    public void setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener listener) {     mListener = listener;   }    public interface OnItemClickListener {     void onItemClickListener(View v, int pos);   }  }

What is ViewHolder in Kotlin?

ViewHolder for each Item in the List. PreferenceViewHolder. A RecyclerView. ViewHolder class which caches views associated with the default Preference layouts. A ViewHolder describes an item view and metadata about its place within the RecyclerView.

The posted solution works, but I'd like to add something to it. The purpose of the viewholder pattern is to only make the expensive findViewById calls once for every view, and then hold those references inside the ViewHolder, and access the views from there whenever you need to bind one.

However, calling holder.itemView.tv_title.text in the onBindViewHolder method will cause a findViewById call to find the View that has the id tv_title within the itemView every time the viewholder is bound. This basically eliminates the performance gains and caching idea that viewholders are for.

You can make use of the viewholder pattern and Kotlin Android Extensions at the same time by adding a property to your ViewHolder, and initializing it with a call made with Extensions, like so:

class ViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {     val title = itemView.tv_title } 

Then you can access the View through this property:

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {     holder.title.text = mRooms!!.get(position).getLocation()      holder.itemView.setOnClickListener { v ->         mListener?.onItemClickListener(v, holder.layoutPosition)     } } 

Lastly, I'd suggest getting rid of the !! operator, and performing a null check instead:

mRooms?.let { rooms ->     holder.title.text = rooms[position].getLocation() }
