Trying to figure out what is the issue with updating RecyclerView\'s Adapter.

I strongly recommend you to use [DiffUtil.ItemCallback][1] to handle the change in RecyclerView.Adapter

 fun setData(data: List<T>) {
        val calculateDiff = DiffUtil.calculateDiff(DiffUtilCallback(items, data))
        items.clear()
        items += data
        calculateDiff.dispatchUpdatesTo(this)
    }

under the hood it handles most of the things with AdapterListUpdateCallback:

/**
 * ListUpdateCallback that dispatches update events to the given adapter.
 *
 * @see DiffUtil.DiffResult#dispatchUpdatesTo(RecyclerView.Adapter)
 */
public final class AdapterListUpdateCallback implements ListUpdateCallback {
    @NonNull
    private final RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;

    /**
     * Creates an AdapterListUpdateCallback that will dispatch update events to the given adapter.
     *
     * @param adapter The Adapter to send updates to.
     */
    public AdapterListUpdateCallback(@NonNull RecyclerView.Adapter adapter) {
        mAdapter = adapter;
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public void onInserted(int position, int count) {
        mAdapter.notifyItemRangeInserted(position, count);
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public void onRemoved(int position, int count) {
        mAdapter.notifyItemRangeRemoved(position, count);
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public void onMoved(int fromPosition, int toPosition) {
        mAdapter.notifyItemMoved(fromPosition, toPosition);
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public void onChanged(int position, int count, Object payload) {
        mAdapter.notifyItemRangeChanged(position, count, payload);
    }
}
