1. Update t

Answer 1

If nothing mentioned in the above comments is working for you. It might mean the problem lies somewhere else.

One place I found the solution was in the way I was setting the list to the adapter. In my activity the list was a instance variable and I was changing it directly when any data changed. Due to it being a reference variable there was something weird going on. So I changed the reference variable to a local one and used another variable to update data and then pass to addAll() function mentioned in above answers.

Answer 2

you have 2 options to do this: refresh UI from the adapter:

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

or refresh it from recyclerView itself:

recyclerView.invalidate();

Answer 3

I've solved the same problem in a different way. I don't have data I waiting for it from the background thread so start with an emty list.

        mAdapter = new ModelAdapter(getContext(),new ArrayList<Model>());
   // then when i get data

        mAdapter.update(response.getModelList());
  //  and update is in my adapter

        public void update(ArrayList<Model> modelList){
            adapterModelList.clear(); 
            for (Product model: modelList) {
                adapterModelList.add(model); 
            }
           mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

That's it.

Answer 4

Update Data of listview, gridview and recyclerview

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

or

mAdapter.notifyItemRangeChanged(0, itemList.size());

Answer 5

I'm working with RecyclerView and both the remove and the update work well.

1) REMOVE: There are 4 steps to remove an item from a RecyclerView

list.remove(position);
recycler.removeViewAt(position);
mAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(position);                 
mAdapter.notifyItemRangeChanged(position, list.size());

These line of codes work for me.

2) UPDATE THE DATA: The only things I had to do is

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

You had to do all of this in the Actvity/Fragment code not in the RecyclerView Adapter code.

Answer 6

This is what worked for me:

recyclerView.setAdapter(new RecyclerViewAdapter(newList));
recyclerView.invalidate();

After creating a new adapter that contains the updated list (in my case it was a database converted into an ArrayList) and setting that as adapter, I tried recyclerView.invalidate() and it worked.
