Multiple count down timers in RecyclerView flickering when scrolled : <p>I have implemented count down timer for each item of RecyclerView which is in a fragment activity. The count down timer shows the time remaining for expiry. The count down timer is working fine but when scrolled up it starts flickering. Searched a lot but did not got the good reference. Can any one help me?</p>

<p>This is my RecyclerView adapter</p>

<pre><code>public class MyOfferAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter&lt;MyOfferAdapter.FeedViewHolder&gt;{
private final Context mContext;
private final LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater;
private ArrayList&lt;Transactions&gt; mItems = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();
private ImageLoader mImageLoader;
private String imageURL;
private View mView;
private String mUserEmail;

public MyOfferAdapter(Context context) {
    mContext = context;
    mLayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    VolleySingleton mVolley = VolleySingleton.getInstance(mContext);
    mImageLoader = mVolley.getImageLoader();
}


public void addItems(ArrayList&lt;Transactions&gt; items,String userEmail) {
    int count = mItems.size();
    mItems.addAll(items);
    mUserEmail = userEmail;
    notifyItemRangeChanged(count, items.size());
}


@Override
public FeedViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    mView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_feed_item_layout, parent, false);
    return new FeedViewHolder(mView);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final FeedViewHolder holder, final int position) {
    holder.desc.setText(mItems.get(position).getDescription());//replace by title
    holder.scratchDes.setText(mItems.get(position).getScratchDescription());

    long timer = mItems.get(position).getTimerExpiryTimeStamp();
    Date today = new Date();
    final long currentTime = today.getTime();
    long expiryTime = timer - currentTime;


    new CountDownTimer(expiryTime, 500) {
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            long seconds = millisUntilFinished / 1000;
            long minutes = seconds / 60;
            long hours = minutes / 60;
            long days = hours / 24;
            String time = days+" "+"days" +" :" +hours % 24 + ":" + minutes % 60 + ":" + seconds % 60;
            holder.timerValueTimeStamp.setText(time);
        }

        public void onFinish() {
            holder.timerValueTimeStamp.setText("Time up!");
        }
    }.start();

}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return mItems.size();
}

public static class FeedViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    TextView desc;
    TextView scratchDes;
    TextView timerValueTimeStamp;
    ImageView feedImage;
    CardView mCv;

    public FeedViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        mCv = (CardView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.cv_fil);
        desc = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.desc_tv_fil);
        feedImage = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.feed_iv_fil);
        scratchDes = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_scratch_description);
        timerValueTimeStamp = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_timer_value_time_stamp);

    }

}
