No animation on item removal on RecyclerView

Question

I am using RecyclerView for the first time. Everything is working fine except that there is no animation on item removal even though the animation on item addit

Answer 1

Solved it.

The issue was that, after calling mAdapter.remove(position), another part of my code was calling mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() which I assume stops the removal animation.

To sum up, if you call mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged while there is an animation ongoing the animation will stop.
