Thanks for the code. It's Working!

Thanks a lot.
Working for me too, tested it on Android 6, 8 and 9 devices.

How to use this one? Please tell me an example

The usage is as @jrm-d wrote:

For people asking how to use it: import the file in your project, and just declare your StatefulRecyclerview in your layout files instead of the native "android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView"

But I didn't use it in a long time (3 years old snippet)

Error inflating class StatefulRecyclerView

How to use this code?
Please explain a full person or send an example

Thank you for the code, this works inside fragment 👍 , but not working inside activity 👎

Worked fine. Thanks

If you are looking for a solution, don't do like that, you will never know how to use the code.

Now do like this:
All below code you put in the activity (where you using the Recyclerview)

// save position:
RecyclerView rcv = findViewById(.....);
rcv.setAdapter(....);
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
rcv.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

rcv.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
            @Override
            public void onScrollStateChanged(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
                super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
                pos = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
               // everytime you scroll the list, new position will be saved in app's data storage:
                SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("anyname", MODE_PRIVATE);
                SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
                editor.putInt("KEY_LAST_POSITION", pos).apply();
            }
        });

// using position: 
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("anyname", MODE_PRIVATE);
int position = preferences.getInt("KEY_LAST_POSITION", 0); // 0 is the default value
rcv.scrollToPosition(position);

@chieuancucbo you don't know your code. It is remembering an item position, not the exact scroll.
