RecyclerView onClick

Question

Has anyone using RecyclerView found a way to set an onClickListener to items in the RecyclerView? I thought of setting a listener to each of the layouts for each item but that seems a little too much hassle I'm sure there is a way for the RecyclerView to listen for the onClick event but I can't quite figure it out.

Here is a better and less tightly coupled way to implement an OnClickListener for a RecyclerView.

Snippet of usage:

RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler); recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(     new RecyclerItemClickListener(context, recyclerView ,new RecyclerItemClickListener.OnItemClickListener() {       @Override public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {         // do whatever       }        @Override public void onLongItemClick(View view, int position) {         // do whatever       }     }) ); 

RecyclerItemClickListener implementation:

import android.content.Context; import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView; import android.view.GestureDetector; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.view.View;   public class RecyclerItemClickListener implements RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {   private OnItemClickListener mListener;    public interface OnItemClickListener {     public void onItemClick(View view, int position);      public void onLongItemClick(View view, int position);   }    GestureDetector mGestureDetector;    public RecyclerItemClickListener(Context context, final RecyclerView recyclerView, OnItemClickListener listener) {     mListener = listener;     mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {         @Override         public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {             return true;         }          @Override         public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {             View child = recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());             if (child != null && mListener != null) {                 mListener.onLongItemClick(child, recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(child));             }         }     }); }    @Override public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent e) {     View childView = view.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());     if (childView != null && mListener != null && mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {       mListener.onItemClick(childView, view.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));       return true;     }     return false;   }    @Override public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent motionEvent) { }    @Override   public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent (boolean disallowIntercept){} }
