Apps How can I update JSON API items when a new item is added?

[Thomas Thorton]

Is it possible to update JSON API when new data is added to the JSON? I tried to use Handler but the problem is that when I run the application the data is duplicated and they are shown up in the recyclerView more and more times as it runs. Here is what I did:

1. handler.postDelayed( runnable = new Runnable() {
2. public void run() {
3. //do your function;
4. ReadPosts();
5. readSaves();
6. postsAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
7. postsAdapterS.notifyDataSetChanged();
8. handler.postDelayed(runnable, apiDelayed);
9. }
10. }, apiDelayed);

So, what I want is every time the handler refreshes to be added only the new data and not to duplicate the whole data every time it is refreshed. Is there a way to do that?
