Override animation for notifyItemChanged in RecyclerView.Adapter
There is a dedicated method to disable just item changed animations:
((SimpleItemAnimator) myRecyclerView.getItemAnimator()).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);
Official docs.
Try setting:
mRecyclerview.setItemAnimator(null);
Yes, I did.
First, get the source code of DefaultItemAnimator. Take the code and create a class named MyItemAnimator in your project. Then, set the ItemAnimator to a new instance of your modified MyItemAnimator, like so:
recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new MyItemAnimator());
Now, go in the new classes source code and locate the method
animateChangeImpl(final ChangeInfo changeInfo) { ... }
We simply have to locate the method calls changing alpha values. Find the following two lines and remove the .alpha(0) and .alpha(1)
oldViewAnim.alpha(0).setListener(new VpaListenerAdapter() { ... }
newViewAnimation.translationX(0).translationY(0).setDuration(getChangeDuration()).alpha(1).setListener(new VpaListenerAdapter() { ... }
like so
oldViewAnim.setListener(new VpaListenerAdapter() { ... }
newViewAnimation.translationX(0).translationY(0).setDuration(getChangeDuration()).setListener(new VpaListenerAdapter() { ... }
