android - Problem with indexing in RecyclerView Adapter. How to do it in a good way?

Question

I have some problems with RecyclerView Adapter. I want to do the list with id index: 1,2,3... When an item is removed it should set every next item position to position-1. Like this: (for example delete number 3) 1|2|3|4|5 -> 1|2|3|4

It works perfectly when:

 @Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return position;
}
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
    return position;
}

But this causes other errors with notifyItemRemoved(). When I set:

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return 0;
}
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
    return 0;
}

It has problems with item order after scrolling, with repeatability of numbers etc.

I'm stuck.

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private EditText editText;
    private Button showButton,saveButton;
    private RecyclerView mainListRecyclerView;
    private ArrayList<String>arrayList;

        removeData(arrayList.get(position));
        arrayList.remove(position);

Adapter class

public class MainListAdapter extends 
RecyclerView.Adapter<MainListAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
    private ArrayList<String> mDataset;
    private MainActivity mainActivity;
public MainListAdapter(ArrayList<String> mDataset, MainActivity 
mainActivity) {
    this.mDataset = mDataset;
    this.mainActivity = mainActivity;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return 0;
}
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
    return 0;
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return mDataset.size();
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final MyViewHolder holder,final int position) {
    holder.listTextView1.setText(holder.getAdapterPosition()+"");
    holder.listTextView2.setText(mDataset.get(position));
    holder.listButtonViewDel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            int currentPosition = holder.getAdapterPosition();
            if(currentPosition!=-1)
            mainActivity.removeItem(currentPosition);
        }
    });
}
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    final public TextView listTextView1;
    final public TextView listTextView2;
    final public Button listButtonViewDel;

    public MyViewHolder(View view) {
        super(view);
        listTextView1 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.listTextView1);
        listTextView2 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.listTextView2);
        listButtonViewDel = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.listButtonViewDel);
    }
}
@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.main_list_layout, parent, false);
    return new MyViewHolder(view);
}

Add this lines To removeItem function in MainActivity.java

public void removeItem(int position){
        if(mainListAdapter.getItemCount()!=0){
            removeData(arrayList.get(position));
            arrayList.remove(position);
            mainListAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(position);
            arrayList.remove(position); // add this line
            mainListAdapter.update(arrayList); // add this line
        }
    }

And add update function to your MainListAdapter.java like this

public void update(ArrayList<String> mDataset){
     this.mDataset = mDataset
     notifyDataSetChanged();
}

For show animation try this function (I suggest you to set all function about adapter in adapter)

public void update(ArrayList<String> mDataset,int position){
         this.mDataset = mDataset
         notifyItemRangeChanged(position,mDataset.size);
}
