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

Another way to Solve this Problem is wrapping the Recyclerview inside the Nested ScrollView.

Then inside your Activity or Fragment.

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