Here are some visual supplemental examples. See my fuller answer for examples of adding and removing a range.

Add single item

Add "Pig" at index 2.

Insert single item

String item = "Pig";
int insertIndex = 2;
data.add(insertIndex, item);
adapter.notifyItemInserted(insertIndex);

Remove single item

Remove "Pig" from the list.

Remove single item

int removeIndex = 2;
data.remove(removeIndex);
adapter.notifyItemRemoved(removeIndex);

Possibly a duplicate answer but quite useful for me  You can implement the method given below in RecyclerView Adapter lt RecyclerView ViewHolder gt   and can use this method as per your requirements  I hope it will work for you  public void removeItem  NonNull Object object            mDataSetList remove object           notifyDataSetChanged

if you want to remove item you should do this  first remove item   phones remove position     in next step you should notify your recycler adapter that you remove an item by this code   notifyItemRemoved position   notifyItemRangeChanged position  phones size       but if you change an item do this  first change a parameter of your object like this   Service s   services get position   s done    Cancel service   services set position s     or new it like this    Service s   new Service    services set position s     then notify your recycler adapter that you modify an item by this code   notifyItemChanged position   notifyItemRangeChanged position  services size       hope helps you

I have done something similar  In your MyAdapter   public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView ViewHolder implements View OnClickListener      public CardView mCardView      public TextView mTextViewTitle      public TextView mTextViewContent      public ImageView mImageViewContentPic       public ImageView imgViewRemoveIcon      public ViewHolder View v            super v           mCardView    CardView  v findViewById R id card view           mTextViewTitle    TextView  v findViewById R id item title           mTextViewContent    TextView  v findViewById R id item content           mImageViewContentPic    ImageView  v findViewById R id item content pic                            imgViewRemoveIcon    ImageView  v findViewById R id remove icon            mTextViewContent setOnClickListener this           imgViewRemoveIcon setOnClickListener this           v setOnClickListener this           mTextViewContent setOnLongClickListener new View OnLongClickListener                  Override             public boolean onLongClick View view                    if  mItemClickListener    null                        mItemClickListener onItemClick view  getPosition                                       return false                                         Override     public void onClick View v              Log d  View     v toString               Toast makeText v getContext    mTextViewTitle getText       position       getPosition    Toast LENGTH SHORT  show            if v equals imgViewRemoveIcon                removeAt getPosition              else if  mItemClickListener    null                mItemClickListener onItemClick v  getPosition                        public void setOnItemClickListener final OnItemClickListener mItemClickListener        this mItemClickListener   mItemClickListener    public void removeAt int position        mDataset remove position       notifyItemRemoved position       notifyItemRangeChanged position  mDataSet size         Hope this helps   Edit   getPosition   is deprecated now  use getAdapterPosition   instead

String str   arrayList get position     arrayList remove str     MyAdapter this notifyDataSetChanged

The problem I had was I was removing an item from the list that was no longer associated with the adapter to make sure you are modifying the correct adapter you can implement a method like this in your adapter   public void removeItemAtPosition int position        items remove position       And call it in your fragment or activity like this    adapter removeItemAtPosition position

I tried all the above answers  but inserting or removing items to recyclerview causes problem with the position in the dataSet  Ended up using    delete getAdapterPosition     inside the viewHolder which worked great at finding the position of items

Incase Anyone wants to implement something like this  in Main class instead of Adapter class  you can use   public void removeAt int position        peopleListUser remove position        friendsListRecycler getAdapter   notifyItemRemoved position       friendsListRecycler getAdapter   notifyItemRangeChanged position  peopleListUser size         where friendsListRecycler is the Adapter name

The Problem RecyclerView is  by default  unaware of your dataset changes  This means that whenever you make a deletion addition on your data list  those changes won t be reflected to your RecyclerView directly   i e  you remove the item at index 5  but the 6th element remains in your recycler view   A  quot ok quot  Solution RecyclerView exposes some methods for you to communicate your dataset changes  reflecting those changes directly on your list items  The standard Android APIs allow you to bind the process of data removal  for the purpose of the question  with the process of View removal  The methods we talked about are  notifyItemChanged index  Int  notifyItemInserted index  Int  notifyItemRemoved index  Int  notifyItemRangeChanged startPosition  Int  itemCount  Int  notifyItemRangeInserted startPosition  Int  itemCount  Int  notifyItemRangeRemoved startPosition  Int  itemCount  Int   Better Solution If you don t properly specify what happens on each addition  change or removal of items  RecyclerView children are animated unresponsively because of a lack of information about how to move the different views around the list  Instead  the following code will precisely play the animation  just on the child that is being removed  And as a side note  it fixed any IndexOutOfBoundExceptions  marked by the stacktrace as  quot data inconsistency quot    void remove position  Int        dataset removeAt position      notifyItemChanged position      notifyItemRangeRemoved position  1     Under the hood  if we look into RecyclerView we can find documentation explaining that the second parameter we pass to notifyItemRangeRemoved  is the number of items that are removed from the dataset  not the total number of items  As wrongly reported in some others information sources                  Notify any registered observers that the  lt code gt itemCount lt  code gt  items previously        located at  lt code gt positionStart lt  code gt  have been removed from the data set  The items        previously located at and after  lt code gt positionStart   itemCount lt  code gt  may now be found        at  lt code gt oldPosition - itemCount lt  code gt                  lt p gt This is a structural change event  Representations of other existing items in the data        set are still considered up to date and will not be rebound  though their positions        may be altered  lt  p gt                 param positionStart Previous position of the first item that was removed         param itemCount Number of items removed from the data set             public final void notifyItemRangeRemoved int positionStart  int itemCount            mObservable notifyItemRangeRemoved positionStart  itemCount          Even Better Solution  Opinionated  Do not use any of those functions  That s my personal view  They are counterintuitive  error-prone and they feel really verbose and unnecessary  Let a library like FastAdapter  Epoxy or Groupie take care of this business  or use an observable recycler view with data binding
