I\'m currently working on Adding Friends with the help of firebase RecyclerView in which if a user tap on ADD button, he is added in database n that tapped item is needed to
The FirebaseUI FirebaseRecyclerAdapter is a direct representation of the data in the underlying Query or Firebase location. To remove an item from the adapter (and view), you have to remove it from the Firebase location (or ensure it doesn't match the query anymore).
So when the user triggers the deletion (e.g. by clicking on an item at a certain position):
adapter.getRef(position).remove()
Also see this issue in the FirebaseUI Github repo.
