A custom Adapter for the new RecyclerView, behaving like the CursorAdapter class from previous ListView and alike. Now with Filters and updated doc.

how to add an onClickListener to adapter? I want to have adapter positions and cursor data for clicked row.
thanks for your wonderful class :)

@hamid65217 you probably figured it out, but what I did was a setTag() and getTag() for the itemView
This class works great!

Here's my simpler version.

It supports stable ids by default for automatic animations and relies on an external CursorLoader to observe changes and close the cursor.

Could you provide at least one usage example? Trying to convert a plain RecyclerView.Adapter to your implementation here, but I am having problems understanding how to use your onCreateViewHolder method to return something similar to - ViewHolder((LinearLayout)v). Not sure what I can reuse with your solution.

Updated: (Answering my own question)
Assuming you are using a subclass of this one:

public class VideoMenuCursorAdapter extends CursorRecyclerAdapter 

In your override of onCreateViewHolder(), return an instance of a class that extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder.
In my case:

@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    final LinearLayout v = (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
            .inflate(R.layout.video_menu_layout_item, parent, false);

    return new VideoMenuAdapterViewHolder(v);
}

Just make sure your custom class extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder as such:

public class VideoMenuAdapterViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener{

Hi, Everything works fine but when I enter text to filter RecyclerView each item in the view is gone. Any ideas why this is happening?
