RecyclerView OnClick not working

Question

I have made a horizontal recyclerview inside a fragment. Now when I click on any item I don't see the on click listener working. Here is my code for the Adapter class:

public class FeaturedProductsAdapter  extends RecyclerView.Adapter<FeaturedProductsAdapter.CustomViewHolder> {
private List<FeaturedProductInfo> feedItemList;
private Context mContext;

public FeaturedProductsAdapter(Context context, List<FeaturedProductInfo> feedItemList) {
    this.feedItemList = feedItemList;
    this.mContext = context;
}
public class CustomViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
    protected ImageView imageView;
    protected TextView textView,priceView;
    private Context context;


    public CustomViewHolder(View view,Context context) {

        super(view);
        this.context=context;
        this.imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.thumbnail);
        this.textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.prodTitle);
        this.priceView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.prodPrice);
        view.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {

        int position = getLayoutPosition(); // gets item position
        Log.e("Check", position + "");
        FeaturedProductInfo user = feedItemList.get(position);//[position];
        // We can access the data within the views
        Intent intent = new Intent(context, ProductDescription.class);
        intent.putExtra("id", user.getId());
        mContext.startActivity(intent);


    }

}

@Override
public CustomViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.featured_product_list_item_card, null);
    Context context = viewGroup.getContext();

    CustomViewHolder viewHolder = new CustomViewHolder(view,context);

    return viewHolder;
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(CustomViewHolder customViewHolder, int i) {
    FeaturedProductInfo feedItem = feedItemList.get(i);

    //Download image using picasso library
    if(!feedItem.getUrl().contains("."))
    {
        feedItem.setUrl("nothing");
    }
    Picasso.with(mContext).load(feedItem.getUrl())
            .error(R.drawable.unavailable)
            .placeholder(R.drawable.unavailable)
            .resize(110,110)
            .into(customViewHolder.imageView);

    //Setting text view title
    customViewHolder.textView.setText(feedItem.getTitle());
    customViewHolder.priceView.setText(feedItem.getPrice());
    //Log.e("Featured: ","SET");
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return (null != feedItemList ? feedItemList.size() : 0);
}

}

I think I am not getting how to use the view holder properly. While I have used the same code for recyclerView in another activities and it works like charm.

1.Simple Click Handler within ViewHolder

RecyclerView does not have special provisions for attaching click handlers to items unlike ListView which has the method setOnItemClickListener(). To achieve a similar effect, we can attach click events within the ViewHolder within our adapter:

public class ContactsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ContactsAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    // ...

    // Used to cache the views within the item layout for fast access
    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        public TextView tvName;
        public TextView tvHometown;
        private Context context;

        public ViewHolder(Context context, View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            this.tvName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvName);
            this.tvHometown = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvHometown);
            // Store the context
            this.context = context;
            // Attach a click listener to the entire row view
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
        }

        // Handles the row being being clicked
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            int position = getLayoutPosition(); // gets item position
            User user = users.get(position);
            // We can access the data within the views
            Toast.makeText(context, tvName.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    // ...
}

Another way is my preferred way.. but this is also a fine way to go about it.

My onBindViewHolder

@Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(CategoryViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Category category = mCategories.get(position);

        holder.tvTitle.setText(category.getTitle());
        holder.tvDescription.setText(category.getDescription());

        holder.rlContainer.setOnClickListener(mClickListener);
        holder.rlContainer.setTag(holder);
    }

My class level (Adapter object of View.OnClickListner)

View.OnClickListener mClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            CategoryViewHolder holder = (CategoryViewHolder) view.getTag();
            int position = holder.getAdapterPosition();

            startAppointmentBookingFor(mCategories.get(position));
        }
    };

so basically attach the listener to any view in your holder (I try to put it on container only), then extract it out on the onclick and handle positions etc.
