Remove all items from RecyclerView

This works great for me:

public void clear() {
    int size = data.size();
    if (size > 0) {
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            data.remove(0);
        }

        notifyItemRangeRemoved(0, size);
    }
}

or:

public void clear() {
    int size = data.size();
    data.clear();
    notifyItemRangeRemoved(0, size);
}

For you:

@Override
protected void onRestart() {
    super.onRestart();

    // first clear the recycler view so items are not populated twice
    recyclerAdapter.clear();

    // then reload the data
    PostCall doPostCall = new PostCall(); // my AsyncTask... 
    doPostCall.execute();
}
