Unable to NotifyDataSetChanged on a RecyclerView when EditText is in Focus

I have an Activity with a fragment called MainFragment which has a ViewPager2 to display a few Fragments. One of which is SearchFragment. SearchFragment has an EditText with a TextWatcher, upon text change, an API call is being made to fetch the suggestions. When I'm setting these suggestions to a RecyclerView which is shown right below the EditText, it won't get updated unless I touch the RecyclerView.

I've tried running a Handler to make the API call and update the RecyclerView without letting the EditText gain Focus, and it worked. RecyclerView updates the Data just fine when EditText is not Focused.

There was a problem with ViewPager2 Library.

I was using "androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.0.0-beta05" which had a Bug that would cause View Elements to lose focus if EditText is in Focus.

Updated to "androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.0.0-rc01" and Issue is resolved now.
