How to make an if statement condition in RecyclerView

How to make a sample of an if statement like: if my recyclerview list has some textview string "customer". Then I want to disable the editext in all recyclerview list that has a textview string customer.

this is my code in my viewholder:

this.customer = (textview) customerView.findViewById (R.id.customertag);
    customer.setText("customer");

    this.ediText =(EditText)customerView.findViewById(R.id.message_edit)

    if( ) {

        //how to make "if customerView has textView string "customer" else edit will be disabled"
    }
