I am trying to use the [recyclerview-selection](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/selection/package-summary) library in my project. I followed this tutorial:

<https://proandroiddev.com/a-guide-to-recyclerview-selection-3ed9f2381504>

Everything workes fine. But I have a problem. If I tap/touch any blank space inside the `RecyclerView`, all the selected elements got deselected! I don't find any method or solution to disable this. What should I do?

I am using `implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview-selection:1.1.0-rc01'` in my project.

**Edit 1:**

I set the `RecyclerView` background red to describe my problem. Here, blue items are selected items. If I click any red area, then all the selected items got unselected! The select and deselect should only be done by clicking the items. So, I need to disable this feature (or bug!), that unselect all items!
