RecyclerView store / restore state between activities

by

Ok, so to answer my own question. As I understand it, since they’ve decoupled the layout code and the view recycling code (thus the name), the component responsible one for holding layout state (and restoring it) is now the LayoutManager used in your recyclerview.

Thus, to store state you use same pattern, but on the layout manager and not the recyclerview:

protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle state) {
     super.onSaveInstanceState(state);

     // Save list state
     mListState = mLayoutManager.onSaveInstanceState();
     state.putParcelable(LIST_STATE_KEY, mListState);
}

Restore state in the onRestoreInstanceState():

protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle state) {
    super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);

    // Retrieve list state and list/item positions
    if(state != null)
        mListState = state.getParcelable(LIST_STATE_KEY);
}

Then update the LayoutManager (I do in onResume()):

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    if (mListState != null) {
        mLayoutManager.onRestoreInstanceState(mListState);
    }
}
