I figured it out this way. Hope it helps.

mEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        RecyclerView recyclerView = getRecyclerView();
        if (recyclerView != null) {
            int position = getLayoutPosition();
            RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder = recyclerView.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(position + 1);
            if (viewHolder == null) {
                recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(position + 1);
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
});

`getRecyclerView();` not found – Pratik Butani Apr 01 '17 at 12:42
@PratikButani You have to implement `getRecyclerView()`. He's just pointing that you need a reference to your recycler view – Antonio May 31 '17 at 01:47

@Ivan Vazhnov

you need to pass the reference of the recyclerView to the adapter, something like

CustomAdapter(data:Object, recyclerView: RecyclerView)

and then inside the adapter onBindViewHolder{}

    try {
        val _recyclerView = recyclerView
        val _VH = _recyclerView.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(position + 
        if(_VH != null){
        text =_VH.itemView.findViewById<EditText>(R.id.Cantidad)
        text.requestFocus()
        }
        } catch (e: Exception) {
        Log.e("RecyclerView", e.localizedMessage)
    }
