android - How to get item position for recycle-view

Question

I'm an Android programmer, I'm developing a news app using RSS feed that get the the news from the web, my code work fine ! but I wont when I click on any news to open new activity display news details ? i'm using recycle-view how i get the position of clicked item and pass the news?.. this is my ReadRss :

public class ReadRss extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
Context context;
String address = "http://www.sciencemag.org/rss/news_current.xml";
ProgressDialog progressDialog;
ArrayList<FeedItem> feedItems;
RecyclerView recyclerView;
URL url;

public ReadRss(Context context, RecyclerView recyclerView) {
    this.recyclerView = recyclerView;
    this.context = context;
    progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
    progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
}

//before fetching of rss statrs show progress to user
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
    progressDialog.show();
    super.onPreExecute();
}


//This method will execute in background so in this method download rss feeds
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
    //call process xml method to process document we downloaded from getData() method
    ProcessXml(Getdata());

    return null;
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
    super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
    progressDialog.dismiss();
    FeedsAdapter adapter = new FeedsAdapter(context, feedItems);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context));
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new VerticalSpace(20));
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

// In this method we will process Rss feed  document we downloaded to parse useful information from it
private void ProcessXml(Document data) {
    if (data != null) {
        feedItems = new ArrayList<>();
        Element root = data.getDocumentElement();
        Node channel = root.getChildNodes().item(1);
        NodeList items = channel.getChildNodes();
        for (int i = 0; i < items.getLength(); i++) {
            Node cureentchild = items.item(i);
            if (cureentchild.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("item")) {
                FeedItem item = new FeedItem();
                NodeList itemchilds = cureentchild.getChildNodes();
                for (int j = 0; j < itemchilds.getLength(); j++) {
                    Node cureent = itemchilds.item(j);
                    if (cureent.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("title")) {
                        item.setTitle(cureent.getTextContent());
                    } else if (cureent.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("description")) {
                        item.setDescription(cureent.getTextContent());
                    } else if (cureent.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("pubDate")) {
                        item.setPubDate(cureent.getTextContent());
                    } else if (cureent.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("link")) {
                        item.setLink(cureent.getTextContent());
                    } else if (cureent.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("media:thumbnail")) {
                        //this will return us thumbnail url
                        String url = cureent.getAttributes().item(0).getTextContent();
                        item.setThumbnailUrl(url);
                    }
                }
                feedItems.add(item);


            }
        }
    }
}

//This method will download rss feed document from specified url
public Document Getdata() {
    try {
        url = new URL(address);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
        DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document xmlDoc = builder.parse(inputStream);
        return xmlDoc;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

} my FeedsAdapter :

public class FeedsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<FeedsAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
ArrayList<FeedItem>feedItems;
Context context;
public FeedsAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<FeedItem>feedItems){
    this.feedItems=feedItems;
    this.context=context;
}
@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View view= LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.custum_row_news_item,parent,false);
    MyViewHolder holder=new MyViewHolder(view);
    return holder;
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
    YoYo.with(Techniques.FadeIn).playOn(holder.cardView);
    FeedItem current=feedItems.get(position);
    holder.Title.setText(current.getTitle());
    holder.Description.setText(current.getDescription());
    holder.Date.setText(current.getPubDate());
    Picasso.with(context).load(current.getThumbnailUrl()).into(holder.Thumbnail);

}



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

public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    TextView Title,Description,Date;
    ImageView Thumbnail;
    CardView cardView;
    public MyViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        Title= (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.title_text);
        Description= (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.description_text);
        Date= (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.date_text);
        Thumbnail= (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.thumb_img);
        cardView= (CardView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.cardview);
    }
}

}

I'm not sure that I understand you. But to check when a user clicks a news, you have to add the following code to your FeedsAdapter

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, final int position) {
  holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            FeedItem item = feedItems.get(position);
            //start your activity here
        }
    });
  //other code
}
