Disable animation on notifyItemRangeInserted()

Question

I'm using a RecyclerView. After adding items to the RecyclerView, I need to call:

notifyItemRangeInserted(int positionStart, int itemCount);

However, this shows a sort of "slide down" animation. Is there a way that I can disable this animation?

Thanks.

Solution

try clearing the RecyclerView item animator

recyclerView.setItemAnimator(null);

you can re-enable your animation after if needed.

recyclerView.setItemAnimator(null);
notifyItemRangeInserted(int positionStart, int itemCount);
recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
