Sql doesn't allow query to remove id, even the id has been deleted. The only way is to recreate the table with new data.

OK thanks But am having problem with my Recycleview when I delete an entry which ID is not the max row_id. When the Recycleview load from onCreate everything is fine but afterwards when I delete something, e.g #3 above and if I add another items, it will be added to the database with Max Id +1 alright, but the Recycleview arraylist will be cause an error saying indexOutOfBoundException, this is due to the deleted item in the database so if the max id in the database is 5 it will 3 in the arraylist which should have been 4. So that is the problem. I need help.
