How to implement ItemAnimator of RecyclerView to disable the animation of notifyItemChanged

Question

In my project I need disable the \"change\" animation of RecyclerView while notifyItemChanged.

I investigated in the source of Recycl

Answer 1

I have found the correct solution to just remove the animateChange.

It's very simple. Google has implemented the functionality.

((SimpleItemAnimator) RecyclerView.getItemAnimator()).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);

Documentation: setSupportsChangeAnimations

Answer 2

@Kenny answer didn't work anymore because google remove method setSupportsChangeAnimations() (but why?) in support library 23.1.0.

In some case setChangeDuration(0) can work as workaround.

@edit I suggest use something like that:

  RecyclerView.ItemAnimator animator = recyclerView.getItemAnimator();
        if (animator instanceof SimpleItemAnimator) {
            ((SimpleItemAnimator) animator).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);
        }
