If you know in Telegram to delete chat or group we hold item(long press) and clicking another item then we add the group to chat, to delete the list, I cant do it.

Currently I can listening just only click like this:

 itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(itemView.getContext(),"Short Click",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

and listening long click: 

 itemView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(itemView.getContext(),"Short Click",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return false;
        }
    });

In my case, I want to listen to long-press and then I want to highlight item(of course, the item is part of recyclerView) with just click(not long click) I googled but it did not help me.

    In your OnLongClickListener you can iterate through recyclerView items ant set new OnClickListener to select them. Also, you need to store some flag to switch behaviour in onBindViewHolder. – Bracadabra Feb 14 '20 at 07:38

I believe the simplest solution is the following:

  1. In OnLongClickListener iterate through RecyclerView views and set new OnClickListener to handle selection.
  2. Store some flag to switch behavior in onBindViewHolder.
