Recyclerview is not updated with new Data

Hiy guys,

I have a fragment with a RecyclerViewin it. That RecyclerView is populated by a Firebase 'DatabaseReference' object and on that reference I have added a ValueListener as follows:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle
        savedInstanceState) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreateView");
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);


   databaseReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
               @Override
               public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                   //Do something
               }

               @Override
               public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
                   // Getting Post failed, log a message
                   Log.w(TAG, "onCancelled", databaseError.toException());
               }
           });

         ItemRecyclerViewAdapter  adapter = new ItemRecyclerViewAdapter(activity, itemsDatabaseReference);
           adapter.setHasStableIds(true);
           // use a linear layout manager
          RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
           recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
           RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
           recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
           DividerItemDecoration itemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(getContext(),
                   DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL_LIST);
           recyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration);
           recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

    return view;
}

ItemRecyclerViewAdapter extends FirebaseRecyclerAdapter. The problem is that onDataChange happens after onResume so that at times the recycler is empty. What I can't understand is the fact that the recycler view is not always empty. Sometimes data are shown and sometimes not.

Thanks

I think if you are using FirebaseRecyclerAdapter (or any class extended from that) as your RecyclerView adapter, you should set recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(false). So the recyclerView knew that data is constantly updated.

Actually onResume(); is strictly bound with activity onResume();

If you are using viewpager then there is a method in fragment 

 @Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
    //do your logic . updating recycler view
}

if you are infalting in framelayout

then you can update in onViewCreated();
