Java – Updates part of RecyclerView

I have a recycling View that contains
The description of the comment and the vote count when I pressed I need to count to increase this is what it currently looks like

But the problem is that the vote does increase when I press it, but it doesn’t update until I close that fragment and reopen it

What actually happens is that when I press vote, it makes an API call that executes some logic and sends it to android, which has a certain number of votes for the specific item that was clicked or voted on

How can I

update that particular record so I can see the change without reopening the View

Code:
CommentItem.java

public CommentItem(String id, String description, String voteCount)
{ 
        this.id = id;
        this.description= description;
        this.voteCount = voteCount;
}
getters and setters

CommentItemAdapter.java

...
private OnItemClickListener mlistener;
/*Interfaces*/
public  interface  OnItemClickListener{
    void VoteUpClick(int position);
    void VoteDownClick(int position);
...
}
...

Comment on fragment .java

 @Override
public void VoteUpClick(final int position) { 
  final CommentItem clickeedItem = 
 mitemList.get(position);
    StringRequest strReq = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST,
                                        AppConfig.URL, new Response.Listener<String>() {
                 @Override
       public void onResponse(String response) {
              try {
                    JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(response);
                    boolean error = jObj.getBoolean("error");
                    if (!error) {
                                 String errorMsg = jObj.getString("msg");
                                Toast.makeText(getContext(), errorMsg, 
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();                                              
                    } else {
                            String msg= jObj.getString("msg");
                            Toast.makeText(getContext(), msg, 
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            }
                } catch (JSONException e) {
                       e.printStackTrace();
                       }
                 }
           }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                 @Override
       public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {}
        }) {
               @Override
             protected Map<String, String> getParams() {
             Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();

params.put("voteType", "up");
                 params.put("commentID", clickeedItem.getId().toString());
                                        return params;
                                    }
                                };
AppController.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(strReq, tag_string_req);
}

If I get it right, just adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() will update your list. But there’s a better way to use DiffUtils in recyclerView. That is, compare the old and new lists, only update the changed items, and do not change the entire data set.

Other methods are to get a viewHolder reference from the Activity/Or Fragment via recyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(position) when onItemClick occurs. Then change the View through this View
