android - Setting recyclerview/cardview background colour dynamically -

i'm wondering if it's possible change background colour of each recycler view item if item contains word. example, custom item contains 4 textviews , 1 checkbox, want background colour light brown if item contains word "dead", red if contains "bench".. ect ect.. there way this?

here item.xml:

<android.support.v7.widget.cardview android:id="@+id/card_view" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_margin="5dp" card_view:cardcornerradius="10dp" card_view:cardelevation="10dp" >   <relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"           android:orientation="horizontal"           android:layout_width="match_parent"           android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingtop="5dp" android:paddingleft="5dp" android:paddingright="5dp">  <textview     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancesmall"     android:text="squat"     android:textsize="20sp"     android:paddingstart="5dp"     android:paddingleft="5dp"     android:paddingright="50dp"     android:id="@+id/txtexercise"      />  <textview     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancesmall"     android:text="%"     android:textsize="20sp"     android:paddingleft="10dp"     android:paddingright="10dp"     android:id="@+id/txtpercentage"     android:layout_centervertical="true"     android:layout_toleftof="@+id/txtreps"     android:layout_tostartof="@+id/txtreps"/>  <textview     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancesmall"     android:text="reps"     android:paddingright="10dp"     android:paddingleft="10dp"     android:textsize="20sp"     android:id="@+id/txtreps"     android:layout_aligntop="@+id/check1"     android:layout_toleftof="@+id/txtweight"     android:layout_tostartof="@+id/txtweight"/>  <textview     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:text="weight"     android:paddingright="10dp"     android:paddingleft="20dp"     android:textsize="20sp"     android:id="@+id/txtweight"     android:layout_alignparenttop="true"     android:layout_toleftof="@+id/check1"     android:layout_tostartof="@+id/check1"/>  <checkbox     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/check1"     android:paddingright="10dp"     android:checked="false"     android:layout_centervertical="true"     android:layout_alignparentright="true"     android:layout_alignparentend="true"/>  </relativelayout> 

and recycler view:

public class myrecycleradapter extends recyclerview.adapter<myviewholder> {  context mcontext; arraylist<workout> workout; sharedpreferences prefs; int firstsecondorthird;   public myrecycleradapter(context context, arraylist<workout> workout, int theposition) {     mcontext = context;     this.workout = workout;     this.firstsecondorthird = theposition; } // initialize holder @override public myviewholder oncreateviewholder(viewgroup parent, int viewtype) {     view view = layoutinflater.from(parent.getcontext()).inflate(r.layout.workout_item, null);     myviewholder holder = new myviewholder(view);      return holder; }  //bind data views @override public void onbindviewholder(myviewholder holder, final int position) {     holder.exercise.settext(workout.get(position).getexercise());     holder.percent.settext(workout.get(position).getpercent());     holder.reps.settext(workout.get(position).getreps());     holder.weight.settext(workout.get(position).getweight());     holder.check1.setoncheckedchangelistener(null);     final workout ischeck = workout.get(position);     holder.check1.setchecked(ischeck.ischeck1());     prefs = mcontext.getsharedpreferences("checkstate", context.mode_private);     holder.check1.setchecked(prefs.getboolean(firstsecondorthird+"checkstate"+position, false));     ischeck.setcheck1(prefs.getboolean(firstsecondorthird+"checkstate"+position, false));      holder.check1.setoncheckedchangelistener(new compoundbutton.oncheckedchangelistener() {         @override         public void oncheckedchanged(compoundbutton buttonview, boolean ischecked) {             ischeck.setcheck1(ischecked);             prefs.edit().putboolean(firstsecondorthird+"checkstate"+position, ischecked).apply();         }     });  }  @override public int getitemcount() {     return workout.size(); } } 

thanks!

in base viewholder class, itemview public, in onbindviewholder() method check color want , set it.

    int colorresid = r.color.default;     if (workout.get(position).getexercise().contains("bench") {         colorresid = r.color.red;     //  more tests color use     }     int color = getresources.getcolor(colorresid, context);     ((cardview) holder.itemview).setcardbackgroundcolor(color);
