Focus lost on refresh in recyclerview
android
Solution
Of course item will lose focus. Because no view to get focus when you refresh RecyclerView by calling method notify*Changed.
There is an imperfect way to keep focus in RecyclerView when you call `notifyDatasetChanged()`.
- Override method getItemId(), give a stable id to each item: `@Override public long getItemId(int position) { return position; }`
- Set has StableId: `adapter.setHasStableIds(true);`
- Now basically you can keep focus in a concrete item when call notifyDatasetChange, if not, disable animator： `mRecyclerView.setItemAnimator(null);`

Good luck!
