I have an recyclerview adapter whose attribute called timeLeft which means it can count down the time from set time with time now in every single recyclerview item. I want it updated in real time but don't know how. Please help me [Example picture][1] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8le2s.png Data file

@Parcelize
@Entity(tableName = "task_table")
data class Task(
    //id is the PrimaryKey which is auto generated by Android Room Database
    @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
    val id: Int,
    val date: String,
    val content: String,
    var timeLeft: String,
    var isDone : Boolean
):Parcelable

Dao File

@Dao
interface TaskDao {
    // means it will be just ignore if there is a new exactly same task then we're gonna just ignore it
    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.IGNORE)
    suspend fun addTask(task :Task)

    @Delete
    suspend fun deleteTask(task : Task)

    @Update
    suspend fun  updateTask(task : Task)

    @Query("SELECT * FROM task_table order by timeLeft ASC")
    fun readAllData(): LiveData<MutableList<Task>>
}

Repository File

class TaskRepository (private val taskDao : TaskDao){
    val readAllData : LiveData<MutableList<Task>> = taskDao.readAllData()

    suspend fun addTask(task : Task){
        taskDao.addTask(task)
    }

    suspend fun deleteTask(task : Task)
    {
        taskDao.deleteTask(task)
    }

    suspend fun updateTask(task:Task)
    {
        taskDao.updateTask(task)
    }
}

View Model File

class TaskViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
    val readAllData: LiveData<MutableList<Task>>
    private val repository: TaskRepository

    init {
        val taskDao = TaskDatabase.getDatabase(application).taskDao()
        repository = TaskRepository(taskDao)
        readAllData = repository.readAllData
    }

    fun addTask(task: Task) {
        viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
            repository.addTask(task)

Repository File

get live data from database in Repository and return to view model

    fun getLiveDataOfTask():MutableLiveData<MutableList<Task>> {
        return TaskDatabase.getDatabase(application).taskDao().readAllData()
    }

Add In View model class

    fun getAllDataTask() = repository.readAllData

In Activity

 viewModel?.getAllDataTask()?.observe(this) {
        //new Data come hear every time when data was change 
        changeAdapterData()
    }

In Adapter

fun updateList(list: MutableList<Task>) {
    this.list = list
    notifyDataSetChanged()
}

And if you went to update only time in adapter item from save time and current time difference then add below code in adapter and ignore above code

//global variable
 private var handler: android.os.Handler? = null
 var hourly = SimpleDateFormat("ss") // add your time formate

    // in onBindViewHolder
    handler = Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
    var periodicUpdate: Runnable? = null
    periodicUpdate = Runnable {
        try {
            holder.holderItemView.textView.text = hourly.format(System.currentTimeMillis())
            periodicUpdate?.let { handler?.postDelayed(it, 1000) }
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
    handler?.post(periodicUpdate)
