As of 24.2.0, RecyclerView support library, v7 package offers really handy utility class called DiffUtil. This class finds the difference between two lists and provides the updated list as an output. This class is used to notify updates to a RecyclerView Adapter.

public class UserDiffCallback extends DiffUtil.Callback {
protected User[] oldList, newList;
public UserDiffCallback(User[] oldList, User[] newList) {
this.oldList = oldList;
this.newList = newList;
}
@Override
public int getOldListSize() {
return oldList == null ? 0 : oldList.length;
}
@Override
public int getNewListSize() {
return newList == null ? 0 : newList.length;
}
@Override
public boolean areItemsTheSame(int oldItemPosition, int newItemPosition) {
return oldList[oldItemPosition].equals(newList[newItemPosition]);
}
@Override
public boolean areContentsTheSame(int oldItemPosition, int newItemPosition) {
return true;
}
}
public void updateData(List<AllUsers> data) {
// DiffUtils callbacks for calculating difference between new batch of data and old data
// So we can update only specific views rather that updating whole list with
// notifyDataSetChanged()
DiffUtil.DiffResult diffResult =
DiffUtil.calculateDiff(new UserDiffCallback(mData, data));
mData.clear();
mData.addAll(data);
diffResult.dispatchUpdatesTo(this);
}
