Question

I'm doing an Android app using Kotlin. I want to disable onClick from RecyclerView while doing background task (API calls). After finish update then click should be abled. How can I do this ?

fun bind(job: PrintJobData, listener: OnHistoryListFragmentInteractionListener?) {

   itemView.setOnClickListener {

      listener?.onListFragmentInteraction(job)

   }
}

interface OnHistoryListFragmentInteractionListener {

    fun onListFragmentInteraction(item: PrintJobData)

}

You should be able to use itemView.setEnabled(false) to disable the clicks, then call setEnabled(true) to re-enable the clicks.

For Kotlin I believe its itemView.isEnabled = {false | true}

Make sure these calls occur on the UI thread. Example using your comment:

   private fun updateUsersJobs() 
   { 
     swipeContainer?.isRefreshing = true 
     
     itemView.isEnabled = false
    
     model?.updateUsersJobs(this, 
     { 
       activity?.runOnUiThread 
       { 
         swipeContainer?.isRefreshing = false 
         itemView.isEnabled = true
       } 
     }, 
     { error -> activity?.runOnUiThread 
       { 
         swipeContainer?.isRefreshing = false
         itemView.isEnabled = true
       }
     };
  }
