Answer 1

I'm not sure what you did in your onCreateViewHolder function, but generally when I see this it's because you inflated the wrong layout. Make sure you are inflating your list_item xml layout. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Try this

imageView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.your_selected_image));
