RecyclerView won't update child until I scroll

Question

I think I\'ve read pretty much all the answers to all of the similar SO questions, and NONE of them seem to be working for me. It\'s drivin

Answer 1

That was a react-native issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I've resolved this by intercepting requestLayout like so:

protected boolean mRequestedLayout = false;

@Override
    public void requestLayout() {
        super.requestLayout();
        // We need to intercept this method because if we don't our children will never update
        // Check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49371866/recyclerview-wont-update-child-until-i-scroll
        if (!mRequestedLayout) {
            mRequestedLayout = true;
            this.post(new Runnable() {
                @SuppressLint("WrongCall")
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    mRequestedLayout = false;
                    layout(getLeft(), getTop(), getRight(), getBottom());
                    onLayout(false, getLeft(), getTop(), getRight(), getBottom());
                }
            });
        }
    }

FINALLY it works.. Credit goes to this unsung hero who discovered the workaround.
