Recyclerview In Kotlin Android

Video Demo:

Kotlin is very simple language you can easily learn it if you have a good knowledge of java and android studio. In this tutorial I am creating the list using kotlin classes. You can download the source code from below.

activity_main.xml:

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="15dp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        android:text="@string/app_name"/>

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp" />

</LinearLayout>

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
        window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN)

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val users = ArrayList()
        users.add(Model_Details("Kaju katli", "Kaju katli, also known as kaju Katari or kaju barfi, is an Indian dessert similar to a barfi.",R.drawable.kaju))
        users.add(Model_Details("Doughnut", "The doughnut is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets",R.drawable.donuts))

        users.add(Model_Details("Belgian waffle", "In North America, Belgian waffles are a variety of waffle with a lighter batter, larger squares, and deeper pockets than ordinary American waffles",R.drawable.belgianwaffle))

        val obj_adapter = CustomAdapter(users)

        recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayout.VERTICAL, false)
        recyclerView.adapter = obj_adapter
    }

}

    //this method is returning the view for each item in the list
    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): CustomAdapter.ViewHolder {
        val v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.adapter_details, parent, false)
        return ViewHolder(v)
    }

    //this method is binding the data on the list
    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: CustomAdapter.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
        holder.bindItems(userList[position])
