Best way to update data with a RecyclerView adapter [duplicate]

by

RecyclerView’s Adapter doesn’t come with many methods otherwise available in ListView’s adapter. But your swap can be implemented quite simply as: 

class MyRecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {
   List<Data> data;
   ...

    public void swap(ArrayList<Data> datas)
    {
        data.clear();
        data.addAll(datas);
        notifyDataSetChanged();     
    }
}

Also there is a difference between 

list.clear();
list.add(data);

and

list = newList;

The first is reusing the same list object. The other is dereferencing and referencing the list. The old list object which can no longer be reached will be garbage collected but not without first piling up heap memory. This would be the same as initializing new adapter everytime you want to swap data.
