I\'m using RecyclerView to display name of the items. My row contains single TextView. Item names are stored in List
I got this to work using Cocorico suggestion in a previous answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/26927186/3660638) but there's a catch: since I'm using a SortedList, using notifyDataSetChanged() everytime there's a change in data (add, remove, etc) makes you lose the item animations that you get with notifyItemXXXXX(position), so what I ended up doing was using it only when I change the data in batch, like:
public void addAll(SortedList items) {
movieList.beginBatchedUpdates();
for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++) {
movieList.add(items.get(i));
}
movieList.endBatchedUpdates();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
