Answer 1

put this line along with setting recyclerView. issue was fixed by
setting ItemAnimator to null for RecyclerView.
in kotlin
recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
recyclerView.itemAnimator = null
in java
recyclerView.setItemAnimator(null);

Answer 2

It looks similar with known android bug
There are quite ugly, but working approach
public class WrapContentLinearLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager {
//... constructor
#Override
public void onLayoutChildren(RecyclerView.Recycler recycler, RecyclerView.State state) {
try {
super.onLayoutChildren(recycler, state);
} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
Log.e("Error", "IndexOutOfBoundsException in RecyclerView happens");
}
}
}
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new WrapContentGridLayoutManager(getContext(), spanCount));
For me it works without any by-effect.

Answer 3

This issue is a known bug of RecyclerView. The best solution is, clear the list every time before refresh RecyclerView.
For fix this issue just call notifyDataSetChanged() with empty list before updating recycle view.
For example
//Method for refresh recycle view
if (!yourList.isEmpty())
yourList.clear(); //The list for update recycle view
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Answer 4

Use this to refresh a RecyclerView
items.clear(); //here items is an ArrayList populating the RecyclerView
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
items.addAll(list);// add new data
adapter.notifyItemRangeInserted(0, items.size);// notify adapter of new data
`

Answer 5

I had similiar issue, and also this solution has helped me, after I've added new item to my RV:
recyclerView.getRecycledViewPool().clear();
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Answer 6

Maybe you can try this before refresh the adapter:
dataList.clear();
patrolListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Answer 7

In my case I was doing it as notifyItemInserted(position);
That caused me this issue then i used as and it worked perfectly.notifyItemRangeInserted(startIndex,endIndex);

Answer 8

I had this problem when scrolling fast through my endless/paging RecyclerView. The root of my problem came from the fact that I had a “header” item at the beginning of the list, this header item was not a part of the data source, it was just inserted at the beginning of the adapter list. So when scrolling fast and adding new pages of items to the RecyclerView Adapter and notify the adapter that new data had been inserted, I was not taking into account the additional header item, thus making the size of the adapter’s list wrong... and causing this exception...
So in short, if you’re using a header/footer in our RecyclerView adapter make sure you take it into account when updating the adapters data.
Example:
public void addNewPageToList(List<MyData> list)
{ //
// Make sure you account for any header/footer in your list!
//
// Add one to the currentSize to account for the header item.
//
int currentSize = this.adapterList.size() + 1;
this.adapterList.addAll(list);
notifyItemRangeInserted(currentSize, this.adapterList.size());
}
Edit:
I guess you could always just use the adapter method getItemCount() to get the size, instead of getting the size from the “data list” and adding to it. Your getItemCount() method should already be taking into account any additional headers/footers/etc that you have in your list.

Answer 9

The problem is in this line of code:
mFeed = feeds;
you are assigning mFeed to the caller's instance feeds so whenever the caller changes it's variable (may be adding, clearing or removing items), your local mFeed will change
try to change to
mFeed.addAll(feeds);
don't forget to initialize mFeed to any list tat fits your needs like mFeed = new ArrayList<>();

in kotlin
recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
recyclerView.itemAnimator = null

Answer 11

I'm using the recyclerview from mikepenz. And any update to the items using .set(item) was causing this issue.
For some reason, setting recylerView.itemAnimator = null, resolved the issue. This is a known android bug.

Answer 12

In my case, I was using RecyclerView from Firebase UI. Initially, the logic to initialize the RecyclerView was in onCreate(). To fix, I put the logic in onResume() and seems to be working for me. I had this error when going back to the Activity which had the RecyclerView. So, everytime the Activity screen is refreshed, the new data is loaded.

Answer 13

I had similar problem. Removing all views from RecyclerView helped me:
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager();
layoutManager.removeAllViews();

Answer 14

For me the issue was I wasn't posting notifyDatasetChanged when the data set changed as I implemented incremental search.
I had a list that was filtered based on what the user searched in the search widget. For each item in the list, I was making a remote request, and when I got the result back, I was updating that particular cell.
I had to do both notifies for the recycler view to work
Filter the original data set then post the dataset change
this.searchResultTable?.post {
this.searchResultTable?.adapter?.notifyDataSetChanged()
}
After receiving response, post notifications again
this.searchResultTable?.post {
this.searchResultTable?.adapter?.notifyItemChanged(index, updateDataHashMap)
}
You have to post updates rather than sending notifiy messages directly in order to prevent the recycler view from crashing when the update comes in before the view is laid out.
Another important gotcha is that when you post the individual updates after the remote response, you have to make sure that the list the user currently sees is the list that existed when the requests were sent.

Answer 15

For my case in adapter there was notifyItemRangeInserted and I replaced it with notifyItemRangeChanged
