Fragment with RecyclerView : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Scrapped or attached views may not be recycled. isScrap:false isAttached:true

Question

I keep getting java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Scrapped or attached views may not be recycled. isScrap:false isAttached:true when using Fragment with Re

Answer 1

I saw this happen for me when I used a custom object in the ViewHolder for the Recycler View adapter.

To fix the issue I cleared the custom object which in my case was a timer in the onViewRecycled(ViewHolder holder) for the adapter as below:

public void onViewRecycled(ViewHolder holder) {
    if(holder instanceof  EntityViewHolder) {
        if(((EntityViewHolder)holder).timer != null) {
            ((EntityViewHolder) holder).timer.cancel();
        }
    }
    super.onViewRecycled(holder);
}

This fixed the bug.
