As ygit answered, swapAdapter is interesting when you have to change the whole content.

But, in my FlexibleAdapter, you can update the items with updateDataSet. You can even configure the adapter to call notifyDataSetChanged or having synchronization animations (enabled by default). That, because notifyDataSetChanged kills all the animations, but it's good to have for big lists.

Please have a look at the description, demoApp and Wiki pages: https://github.com/davideas/FlexibleAdapter
