ListAdapter not updating item in RecyclerView

by

Edit: I understand why this happens that wasn’t my point. My point is that it at least needs to give a warning or call the notifyDataSetChanged() function. Because apparently I am calling the submitList(...) function for a reason. I am pretty sure people are trying to figure out what went wrong for hours until they figure out the submitList() ignores silently the call.

This is because of Googles weird logic. So if you pass the same list to the adapter it does not even call the DiffUtil. 

public void submitList(final List<T> newList) {
    if (newList == mList) {
        // nothing to do
        return;
    }
....
}

I really don’t understand the whole point of this ListAdapter if it can’t handle changes on the same list. If you want to change the items on the list you pass to the ListAdapter and see the changes then either you need to create a deep copy of the list or you need to use regular RecyclerView with your own DiffUtill class.
