Quiero mostrar cuánto tiempo queda dentro de cada celda de miRecyclerView... para eso he usado un temporizador de cuenta regresiva para cada uno. En cada fila comienzo un contador y manejoonTick()... todo funciona como se esperaba ... Tengo un tic del temporizador para cada fila y mi celda también se está actualizando, pero mi celda parpadea ahora ... y se vuelve loco cuando me desplazo.

Aquí está mi adaptador ...

if (product.getProductType().equalsIgnoreCase("Auction Product")) {
                isAuction=true;
                viewHolder.img_product_type.setImageResource(R.drawable.bid);
                viewHolder.txt_timeleft.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
               start_countDown(product.getStart(),product.getStop(),viewHolder.txt_timeleft);
            }

El código de contador es el siguiente ...

private void start_countDown(String start, String stop, final TextView txt_timeleft) {
        try {
            //Log.e("hetal",start+"....."+stop);
            SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

            Calendar start_date = Calendar.getInstance();
            start_date.setTime(format.parse(start));

            Calendar end_date = Calendar.getInstance();
            end_date.setTime(format.parse(stop));

            final Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
            CountDownTimer timer;

            txt_timeleft.setTextColor(Color.DKGRAY);
            if(today.before(start_date)){
                txt_timeleft.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.red));
                txt_timeleft.setText(context.getString(R.string.auction_not_start));
                Animation anim = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
                anim.setDuration(1000); //You can manage the time of the blink with this parameter
                anim.setStartOffset(20);
                anim.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
                anim.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
                txt_timeleft.startAnimation(anim);
                return;
            }
            if (!today.before(end_date)) {

                txt_timeleft.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.red));
                txt_timeleft.setText(context.getString(R.string.time_out));
                        Animation anim = new AlphaAnimation(0.0f, 1.0f);
                        anim.setDuration(1000); //You can manage the time of the blink with this parameter
                        anim.setStartOffset(20);
                        anim.setRepeatMode(Animation.REVERSE);
                        anim.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
                txt_timeleft.startAnimation(anim);
                return;
            }

            timer = new CountDownTimer(end_date.getTimeInMillis(), 1000) {
                @Override
                public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

                    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

                        left += days + " " + context.getString(R.string.txt_day) + " ,";
