void onItemsInsertedOrRemoved() { if (hasFixedSize) layoutChildren(); else requestLayout(); }
RecyclerView size changes every time you add something no matter what. What setHasFixedSize does is that it makes sure (by user input) that this change of size of RecyclerView is constant. The height (or width) of the item won't change. Every item added or removed will be the same. If you dont set this it will check if the size of the item has changed and thats expensive. Just clarifying because this answer is confusing. –

very simplified version of RecyclerView has:
void onItemsInsertedOrRemoved() {
if (hasFixedSize) layoutChildren();
else requestLayout();
}
