Updating the viewadapter after deleting a file

Question

i have (delete file operation ) works from inside of the adapter (Myadpter), I cannot refresh this adapter after deleting the file, the screen will stay same just the file deleted but the I need to refresh state manually by press back and re inter the same layout so I will find the layout is missing the file that I deleted, but need to back and re inter same layout to get it refreshed.

Anybody know why the notifyDataSetChanged(); is not working?

Try this!

public void onSuccess(Void aVoid) {
      Log.d( TAG, "DocumentSnapshot successfully written!" );
      notifyItemRangeChanged(i, downModels.size());
      downModels.remove(i);
      notifyItemRemoved(i);
   }
