I have an activity in which I have used Recycle View to show all items as a list. On same activity I have given functionality to add new item. Everything is working fine. Items are adding in my database and its showing in list. I have added pagination on Recycle View it is also working fine. What I want that when user add new item at the same time when new data added to database but it is not updating in list. When user press back and again come on activity after that it is showing in list. I want to add add new item at same time without scroll the list or without go back.

You have to notifiy dataset changed on listview when new feed is added so there are two things you can do :
TimeLineItem item when new feed is entered and add new item to it like this :`
item.setStatus("New Status");
item.setProfilePic("New Profile Pic");
item.setTimeStamp("New TimeStamp");
item.setIsLike("True");
item.setTotalLikes("1000");
item.setTotalComment("2");
`
and then use timeLineItems.add(item) to add new item to ArrayList and call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); to get it in view .
2. Again create volley request and it will do it automatically but this is slower then above example.
If you have any query please ask .
