How to pass data from RecyclerView to activity

I'm really struggling with this, what I need is when the user clicks on the recipe image, which comes from the ArrayList listRecipe put into the RecyclerView, the value from myTextView1 should be passed to the CreateMealPlan activity so it can be saved along with the date to an SQLite database.

Hope I've made this clear, thanks in advance for any help.

Activity

    public class CreateMealPlan extends MainActivity {
DatePicker datepicker;
Button submit;
List<com.stu54259.plan2cook.Model.Category> listRecipe = new ArrayList<>();
SQLiteDatabase db;
Cursor c;
RecyclerView recipeList;
RecipeListAdapter adapterRecipe;
String recipe_name;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.create_meal_plan);
BottomNavigationView navigation = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation);
navigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.home:
Intent a = new Intent(CreateMealPlan.this,MainActivity.class);
startActivity(a);
break;
case R.id.recipes:
Intent b = new Intent(CreateMealPlan.this,RecipeSearch.class);
startActivity(b);
break;
/*case R.id.shoppingList:
Intent c = new Intent(CreateMealPlan.this, ShoppingList.class);
startActivity(c);
break;*/
case R.id.mealPlan:
Intent d = new Intent(CreateMealPlan.this, MenuPlan.class);
startActivity(d);
break;
/*case R.id.reminder:
Intent e = new Intent(CreateMealPlan.this, Reminder.class);
startActivity(e);
break*/
}
return false;
}
});
datepicker = findViewById(R.id.calendarView);
ListRecipes();
adapterRecipe = new RecipeListAdapter(this, listRecipe);
recipeList = findViewById(R.id.recipes);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this,
LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
recipeList.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
recipeList.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
recipeList.setAdapter(adapterRecipe);
recipeList.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Log.d("Recipe name is", recipe_name);
}
});
int day = datepicker.getDayOfMonth();
int month = datepicker.getMonth();
int year = datepicker.getYear();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE");
Date d_name = new Date(day, month, year);
String dayOfTheWeek = sdf.format(d_name);
submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.create);
// perform click event on submit button
submit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
}
public void ListRecipes() {
listRecipe.clear();
db = (new DatabaseManager(this).getWritableDatabase());
String selectQuery = " SELECT recipe_name, image, image2, category" + " FROM " + DatabaseManager.TABLE_RECIPE + "  GROUP BY recipe_name";
c = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
Log.d("Query", selectQuery);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
com.stu54259.plan2cook.Model.Category category = new com.stu54259.plan2cook.Model.Category();
category.setRecipe_name(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("recipe_name")));
category.setImage(c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex("image")));
category.setImage2(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("image2")));
category.setCategory_name(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("category")));
listRecipe.add(category);
} while (c.moveToNext());
c.close();
}
}
}

RecyclerAdapter

    public class RecipeListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private List<Category> listRecipe;
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ItemClickListener mClickListener;
// data is passed into the constructor
public RecipeListAdapter(Context context, List<Category> data) {
this.mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.listRecipe = data;
}
// inflates the row layout from xml when needed
@Override
public com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.cardview_recipe, parent, false);
return new com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.myTextView1.setText(listRecipe.get(position).getRecipe_name());
holder.myTextView2.setText(listRecipe.get(position).getCategory_name());
String image2 = listRecipe.get(position).getImage2();
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image2);
if (myBitmap != null)
holder.imgImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
else
holder.imgImage.setImageResource(listRecipe.get(position).getImage());
}
// total number of rows
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return listRecipe.size();
}
// stores and recycles views as they are scrolled off screen
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
TextView myTextView1;
TextView myTextView2;
ImageView imgImage;
ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
myTextView1 = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtName);
myTextView2 = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtCategory);
imgImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imgImage);
myTextView1.setOnClickListener(this);
myTextView1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String recipe_name = myTextView1.getText().toString();
}
});
}
/**
* Called when a view has been clicked.
*
* @param v The view that was clicked.
*/
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}
// allows clicks events to be caught
void setClickListener(com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ItemClickListener itemClickListener) {
this.mClickListener = itemClickListener;
}
// parent activity will implement this method to respond to click events
public interface ItemClickListener {
void onItemClick(View view, int position);
}
}

You should:

1. Define an interface that will be used to handle click events (similar to your ItemClickListener);
2. Implement this interface as an anonymous class or by extending your Activity;
3. Pass that instance of the new interface to your adapter;
4. Set click listener, handle click events and pass data back into your Activity.

Step 1: define an interface

Sample interface:

interface OnRecipeClickListener {
void onRecipeClicked(int position, String someString);
}

Step 2: implement the interface

This part is located inside of your Activity class:

new OnRecipeClickListener() {
public void onRecipeClicked(int position, String someString) {
Log.d(CreateMealPlan.class.getSimpleName(), "Here is the data: " + someString);
}
}

Step 3: passing this interface to the adapter

public class RecipeListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
...
private OnRecipeClickListener clickListener;
// data is passed into the constructor
public RecipeListAdapter(Context context, List<Category> data, OnRecipeClickListener clickListener) {
...
this.clickListener = clickListener;
}
...
}

Step 4: setting click listeners to view holders

public class RecipeListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
...
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull com.stu54259.plan2cook.Adapters.RecipeListAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
...
holder.image.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
clickListener.onRecipeClicked(position,
holder.textView1.getText().toString());
} 
});
}
...
}

Code from Step 2 can be used like that:

OnRecipeClickListener listener = new OnRecipeClickListener() {
public void onRecipeClicked(int position, String someString) {
Log.d(CreateMealPlan.class.getSimpleName(), "Here is the data: " + someString);
}
};
adapterRecipe = new RecipeListAdapter(this, listRecipe, listener);
