Recyclerview add data to the beginning without a mess scroll?

Question

I am trying to add some date in the scroll list up in recyclerview. this is a job, except for scrolling, it will ruin everything when new data is added.

I saw the following topics:

Link 1

Link 2

but not one of them solved my problem.

can someone help me with this ...

I get some data using a volley, for example:

try {
                //Getting json
                json = array.getJSONObject(i);

                //Adding data to the object
                PostObj.setImageUrl(json.getString(Config.TAG_PPIC));
                ...


            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            //Adding object to the list
            listLf.add(0, PostObj); //0, postobj
        }

        //Notifying the adapter that data has been added or changed
        //adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); the scroll will jump to position 0
        adapter.notifyItemRangeChanged(0, adapter.getItemCount()); // still not working
    }

I tried to add adapter.notifyItemRangeChanged(0, adapter.getItemCount());, but still the same thing.

also i tried:

// Save state
private Parcelable recyclerViewState;
recyclerViewState = recyclerView.getLayoutManager().onSaveInstanceState();

// Restore state
recyclerView.getLayoutManager().onRestoreInstanceState(recyclerViewState);

and it doesn't work either. maybe I'll put it in the wrong place or something like that.

I want some suggestions about what I'm doing wrong, and how can I get new data, notify the adapter without damaging the scroll position?

   // Add a new item the usual way so it goes at the bottom

    int x = 0;

   // Create a new Data list. New item goes 1st

   // Create a Loop

    myList.remove(x); // Remove item from the array at position

    MyList myList = new MyList();

    myList.add(x, theData); // Add data to array at position


    // Now that new data has been inserted to the Array at position X update the List item at that same Position. I usually do this in the Background.

    Handler handler = new Handler();

    final int finalX = x;
    final Runnable r = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            adapter.notifyItemChanged(finalX);  // Notify Adapter that the Items data has changed and Update
        }
    };

    handler.post(r);
