Android EditText in RecyclerView

I want to implement a search. But unfortunately edit text must be in recycler view. I have multiple types of items. When user enters a letter I refresh whole adapter, searching is done locally. That means that keyboard disappears and edit text is losing focus, because of this constant updating. I managed to fix it showing keyboard and focus an edit manually while binding.

 if (item.inEditableMode) {
            edit_text.requestFocus()
            showKeyboard(edit_text)
 }

But edit text works not that good as I expect. A problem can be seen when user types fast or wants to clear input. Thanks for help.

"unfortunately edit text must be in recycler view" - I bet it do NOT have to be a part of RecyclerView not part of Adapter list item View. better inspect your layout architecture instead of posted workarounds with hiding-showing (blinking) keyboard

besides that even when it must be then don't notify whole Adapter with notifyDataSetChanged(), instead use notifyItemChanged(...) - notify range of of your items, but not list item with EditText - it won't be redrawn, so keyboard should stay visible and focus kept on that field. still this isn't good approach, your EditText should be separated from RecyclerView almost for shure
