RecyclerView item style applying to all items after filter

Question

I'm having a little problem with a RecyclerView.

On the method OnBindViewHolder of it's Adapter I'm making a test, to define or not if the item of the RecyclerView should use a custom background color.

Up to this point everything is working fine, the problem is, after using a filter with a SearchView if I filter the one result with the custom background color, after cleaning the filter/collapse the SearchView, all other items are getting the same background color.

Here is some code from my adapter:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder (MyAdapter.VieHolder holder, int position){

    holder.textViewName.setText(myVisibleList.get(position).getName());
    // myVisibleList is the list that is show in the recyclerView

    // If true, is birthday, then change the item background color
    if(myVisibleList.get(position).isBirthDay){

        holder.layout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.recycler_view_selector_colored_item);

    }

}

@Override
public Filter getFilter(){return null;}

public void setFilter(String query){

    myVisibleList = new ArrayList<>();

    // Contact is the object show in the recyclerView / allContacts is the list if all the contacts
    for (Contact c : allContacts){

    if(c.getName().contains(query)){

        myVisibleList.add(c);

    }

    }

    notifyDataSetChanged();

}

// Method to clear the filter / Called when the searchView is closed
public void clearFilter(){

    myVisibleList = new ArrayList<>();
    myVisibleList.addAll(allContacts);
    notifyDataSetChanged

}

I think that you need to add an else clause here:

if (myVisibleList.get(position).isBirthDay){
    holder.layout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.recycler_view_selector_colored_item);
} else {
    holder.layout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.my_default_recycler_view_color_item); 
    // or holder.layout.setBackgroundResource(0);   
}

See docs where it says that

0 [is] to remove the background

Hope this helps...
