using notifyItemRemoved or notifyDataSetChanged with RecyclerView in Android

Question

I am creating a list of cards to display using the RecyclerView, where each card has a button to remove that card from the list.

When i use notifyItemRemoved

Answer 1

Tried

public void removeItem(int position) {
    this.taskLists.remove(position);
    notifyItemRemoved(position);
    notifyItemRangeChanged(position, getItemCount() - position);
}

and working like a charm.

Answer 2

You can use getLayoutPosition() from the RecyclerView.ViewHolder

getLayoutPosition() provides the exact position of item in the layout and code is

holder.removeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //Position for remove
                int modPosition= holder.getLayoutPosition();
                //remove item from dataset
                numbers.remove(modPosition);
                //remove item from recycler view
                notifyItemRemoved(modPosition);
            }
        });
