RecyclerView not recycling views if the view count is small

Question

I\'ve been dealing with a strange behavior in Recycler View, if the view count in the adapter is small, in my case with size 5, the views are not being recycled and onBindViewHo

Answer 1

It is normal behavior, but you can tweak it with:

recyclerView.setItemViewCacheSize(int);

About the second part of the question - you're right! Store the "activated" position as a variable in your adapter. In onBindViewHolder() do something like:

holder.itemView.setActivated(holder.getAdapterPosition() == lastSelectedPos);
