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

You can also use

recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(0);

viewModel.myLiveData.observe { this, Observer { myList -> 
        adapter.submitList(myList) 
         recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(0);
}
