RecyclerView crashes when “scrapped or attached views may not be recycled”

Question

I\'m using a simple implementation of RecyclerView taken from the Android website using a StaggeredGridLayoutManager and I keep getting this error

Answer 1

Among the reasons that anyone can face this issue, check if you have set the attribute android:animateLayoutChanges="true"to the RecyclerView. This will cause the recycling and reattaching the RecyclerView's items to fail. Remove it and assign the attribute to the RecyclerView's parent container, such as a LinearLayout/RelativeLayout and you should see the problem go away.
