I’m having a problem, that maybe we can solve it and help the community. I have made an Adapter for my RecyclerView and I have created a listener for the constraint layout in order to remove one element of the list. As you can see in the code the delete message works well but I don’t know how to update the RecyclerView from the AccountFragment (the one that’s using this adapter). Does anyone know how to notify that changes?
AccountFragment:
public class AccountFragment extends Fragment {
private TextView textViewUserProfileUsername;
private TextView textViewUserProfileDescription;
private ImageButton imageButtonAccountEdit;
private EditText editTextAccountDescription;
private RecyclerView recyclerViewUserProfileComments;
private TextView textViewUserProfileNoComments;
private ImageView imageViewUserProfileSendMessage;
private EditText editTextUserProfileSendMessage;
private final Gson gson = new Gson();
private User userLocal;

// Here it should update the recyclerview in order to notify that element has been removed.
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {

};

}
}
UPDATE:
Solved by adding this method and then call it after userCommentsList.remove(position):
private void updateUI(){
Handler mainHandler = new Handler(context.getMainLooper());
Runnable runnable = this::notifyDataSetChanged;
mainHandler.post(runnable);
}

Answer
Inside the adapter you can use notifyDataSetChanged()
