Android change TextView textSize on RecyclerView adapter from Activity

Question

i'm trying to find how can i change my RecyclerView adapter textViews from Activity, in my activity i have two widgets such as increment_text_size and decrement_text_size which they must change adapter textviews,

for achieve to that, i create simple listener on activity to manage them:

Activity:

public interface IonChangeBookContentTextSize {
    void incrementTextSize();

    void decrementTextSize();
}

public static void setIonChangeBookContentTextSize(IonChangeBookContentTextSize l) {
    ionChangeBookContentTextSize = l;
}

and after click on widgets i use this listener on adapter

Activity:

@OnClick(R.id.decrement_text_size)
public void decrement_text_size(View view) {
    if (ionChangeBookContentTextSize != null) {
        ionChangeBookContentTextSize.decrementTextSize();
    }
}

@OnClick(R.id.increment_text_size)
public void increment_text_size(View view) {
    if (ionChangeBookContentTextSize != null) {
        ionChangeBookContentTextSize.incrementTextSize();
    }
}

now in adapter i'm using this listener

public class ShowBookContentsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ShowBookContentsAdapter.ShowBookContentsViewHolder> {
    private List<Contents> list;
    private Context        context;
    private static final int NOTE = 1;
    public static IonChangeBottomViewVisibility ionChangeBottomViewvisibility;
    private       ShowBookContentsViewHolder    holder;
    private       View                          view;

    public ShowBookContentsAdapter(List<Contents> items, Context mContext, IonChangeBottomViewVisibility mOnChangeBottomViewVisibility) {
        list = items;
        context = mContext;
        ionChangeBottomViewvisibility = mOnChangeBottomViewVisibility;
    }

    @Override
    public ShowBookContentsViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        int layout = -1;
        switch (viewType) {
            case 0:
                layout = R.layout.item_book_content_paragraph;
                break;
            case 1:
                layout = R.layout.item_book_content_heading_one;
                break;
        }

        view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(layout, parent, false);
        holder = new ShowBookContentsViewHolder(view);

        return holder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ShowBookContentsViewHolder holder, final int position) {
        switch (list.get(position).getContentType()) {
            case 0:
                implementingHeadingParagraphView(holder, position);
                break;
            case 1:
                implementingHeadingOneView(holder, position);
                break;
        }
    }

    private void implementingHeadingParagraphView(final ShowBookContentsViewHolder holder, final int position) {
        Utils.overrideFonts(context, holder.book_content_paragraph, PersianFontType.SHABNAM);

        holder.book_content_paragraph.setText(Html.fromHtml(list.get(position).getContent()));

        ActivityShowBookContent.setIonChangeBookContentTextSize(new ActivityShowBookContent.IonChangeBookContentTextSize() {
            @Override
            public void incrementTextSize() {
                holder.book_content_paragraph.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 18);
            }

            @Override
            public void decrementTextSize() {
                holder.book_content_paragraph.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 12);
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        return list.get(position).getContentType();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return list.size();
    }

    public int getItemPosition(int itemId) {
        return itemPositions.get(itemId);
    }

    public class ShowBookContentsViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        @Nullable
        @BindView(R.id.book_content_paragraph)
        TextView book_content_paragraph;

        @Nullable
        @BindView(R.id.book_content_heading_one)
        TextView book_content_heading_one;

        public ShowBookContentsViewHolder(View view) {
            super(view);
            ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
        }
    }
}

implementing this listener as :

ActivityShowBookContent.setIonChangeBookContentTextSize(new ActivityShowBookContent.IonChangeBookContentTextSize() {
    @Override
    public void incrementTextSize() {
        holder.book_content_paragraph.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 18);
    }

    @Override
    public void decrementTextSize() {
        holder.book_content_paragraph.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 12);
    }
});

on implementingHeadingParagraphView method work for current position, not for all rows on recyclerview adapter, how can i fix this problem?

You do not have to create a listener for this purpose. You should hold a field named textSize in your adapter. Then, set this whenever you want from your activity.

public class ShowBookContentsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ShowBookContentsAdapter.ShowBookContentsViewHolder> {

    private int textSize;

    // constructor etc.

    @Override
    public ShowBookContentsViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

        final View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_book_content_paragraph, parent, false);
        final ShowBookContentsViewHolder holder new ShowBookContentsViewHolder(view);

        return holder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ShowBookContentsViewHolder holder, final int position) {
        implementingHeadingParagraphView(holder, position);
    }

    private void implementingHeadingParagraphView(final ShowBookContentsViewHolder holder, final int position) {
        Utils.overrideFonts(context, holder.book_content_paragraph, PersianFontType.SHABNAM);

        holder.book_content_paragraph.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, textSize);

        holder.book_content_paragraph.setText(Html.fromHtml(list.get(position).getContent()));

    }

    public void setTextSizes(int textSize) {
        this.textSize = textSize;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    //... other adapter methods

    public class ShowBookContentsViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        @Nullable
        @BindView(R.id.book_content_paragraph)
        TextView book_content_paragraph;

        @Nullable
        @BindView(R.id.book_content_heading_one)
        TextView book_content_heading_one;

        public ShowBookContentsViewHolder(View view) {
            super(view);
            ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
        }
    }

call this from your activity

showBookContentsAdapter.setTextSizes(18);
