How to remove empty space left after deleting items in a recycler view for android?

I have a very simple recyclerview with the following layout:-

  <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/address_layout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            >

            <include layout="@layout/address_recyclerview"></include>

        </LinearLayout>

Wher my recycler view layout is as follows:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/adr_recyclerView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
    />

This is the code I am using to delete the item from the recycler view:-

 private void removeItem(UserInfo list) {
        int current_position = listData.indexOf(list);
        listData.remove(current_position);
        notifyItemRemoved(current_position);
    }

My Linear Layout is within a Scroll View.Now when I delete a item inside the recycler view the item gets deleted but after the deletion empty space is left behind.How do I auto delete this space when the item inside the recycler view is deleted?

Any help or suggestion is appreciated.Thank you.

Maybe you set setHasFixedSize to true, so try to make it false setHasFixedSize(false) and it will remove that space

Try adding notifyItemRangeChanged(int, int) after notifyItemRemoved(current_position).

 private void removeItem(UserInfo list) {
    int current_position = listData.indexOf(list);
    listData.remove(current_position);
    notifyItemRemoved(current_position);
    notifyItemRangeChanged (current_position, getItemCount());
}
