Android RecyclerView pass and display Item data depending on condition

I have a RecyclerViewActivity and data for RecyclerView:

     // get a reference to recyclerView
    RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);

     // this is data for recyclerview

        CardData cardData[] = {
            new CardData("Bread", R.drawable.bread),
            new CardData("Dairy", R.drawable.dairy),
            new CardData("Meat", R.drawable.meat) ...}

Each CardData connected to different Activity with simple ListView.

Now I used Shared Preferences and boolean variable to check if there are some items in every ListView. After check completes - pass true/ false value to the RecyclerViewActivity:

      SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("filename", MODE_PRIVATE);
    Boolean a = pref.getBoolean("key1", false);
    Boolean b = pref.getBoolean("key2", false);
    Boolean c = pref.getBoolean("key3", false);

Now what I need to do - is to display CardData depending on a/b/c values. If I receive a: true - need to display some additional image indicator in my data set. Something like this:

       CardData cardData[] = {
            if (!a) {
            new CardData("Bread", R.drawable.bread, R.drawable.indicator)
            }
            else {
            new CardData("Bread", R.drawable.bread) };

            if (!b) {
            new CardData("Dairy", R.drawable.dairy, R.drawable.indicator)
            }
            else {
            new CardData("Dairy", R.drawable.dairy};

            ...
            }

The problem is that I don't now where and how exactly can I set this condition. Inside CardData like above it does'n work - gives me a syntax error..

Any help will be appreciate!
