Android RecyclerView notifyItemChanged() IllegalStateException “Cannot call this method while RecyclerView is computing a layout or scrolling”

October 20, 2017 Catzie Leave a comment

If your Android app is crashing with error IllegalStateException “Cannot call this method while RecyclerView is computing a layout or scrolling”, you may try placing your notifyitemchanged inside a Runnable. Assuming you have a call to notifyItemChanged() inside onBindViewHolder() that is making your app crash with IllegalStateException, you may try something like this:

                                        myRecyclerView.post(new Runnable() {
                                            @Override
                                            public void run() {
                                                myArrayList.remove(position);
                                                myArrayList.add(something);

                                                recyclerViewMainScreenHeader.getAdapter().<code>notifyItemChanged</code>();
                                            }
                                        });

myRecyclerView.post(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

myArrayList.remove(position);

myArrayList.add(something);

recyclerViewMainScreenHeader.getAdapter().<code>notifyItemChanged</code>();

}

});

Most people in my family are Intellicare card holders, and we frequent Aventus Makati because of that. Do you often go to Aventus in Filomena Building too? I scanned a copy of Aventus Makati Doctors’ schedule for our convenience: Click the image above to enlarge. You may even print it! Hope that helps.

Not impressed at “Impressions” restaurant at Maxims Hotel: nice ambience but horrible food service

September 4, 2017September 4, 2017 Catzie 1 Comment

So we tried the sit-down buffet at Impressions in Maxims Hotel, but we sat down eating nothing for a long while. They say Impressions is a fine dining restaurant, but the food service is not so fine. I could ignore the hungry mosquitoes of Impressions feasting on my feet that night, but waiting so long […]

Not that I remember exactly what the NBI Clearance renewal/application was like when I last tried to get one (4 years ago) but I can say that the current process is not so bad because Step 1 (filling out the application form) and Step 2 (payment) can already be done online. After completing the online […]

Simple SMS Reader app in Android using BroadcastReceiver class

Before I began coding Android apps, I was amazed how verification processes go like this: The Android app tells you they’ll send you an SMS containing verification code, and that you need to enter such code into a text field on the Android app. But when you receive the SMS, the verification code appears on […]
