Recycler view not scrolling to the top after adding new item at the top, as changes to the list adapter has not yet occurred

Question

I am getting the new list with new item at the start in my live data and then using its data to update the adapter

viewModel.myLiveData.observe { this, Observer          


        

Answer 1

Thank you everyone for response. But the only work that did worked for me was to place a 1 second delay after executing submitList. Even though not appropriate one, But works for the following reason:

adapter.submitList() will always take the same execution time (within milliseconds)

I just called

Handler().postDelayed ({
  recycler.scrollToPosition(0)
}, 1000)
