You can use onSavedInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState() using parcelable and update layoutManager in the onResume() method.

RecyclerView.Adapter.StateRestorationPolicy

Defines how this Adapter wants to restore its state after a view reconstruction (e.g. configuration change).

Doc

Usage

adapter.stateRestorationPolicy = StateRestorationPolicy.PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY

The StateRestorationPolicy enum has 3 options:

ALLOW — the default state, that restores the RecyclerView state immediately, in the next layout pass PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY — restores the RecyclerView state only when the adapter is not empty (adapter.getItemCount() > 0). If your data is loaded async, the RecyclerView waits until data is loaded and only then the state is restored. If you have default items, like headers or load progress indicators as part of your Adapter, then you should use the PREVENT option, unless the default items are added using MergeAdapter. MergeAdapter waits for all of its adapters to be ready and only then it restores the state. PREVENT — all state restoration is deferred until you set ALLOW or PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY.

Check if your RecyclerView is inside NestedScrollView, if so remove NestedScrollView! In my case that was causing to go to top of RecyclerView on back press while working with Android Navigation Component.

do you have any solution for this case? I have the same problem at the moment, but I cant remove the NestesScrollView – dudi Mar 18 '22 at 15:25
Maybe you can use RecyclerView with different view types and remove NestedScrollView, in that way I managed to fix this – Liridon Sadiku Mar 22 '22 at 15:03
@dudi try to use RecyclerView with different view types, I don't see any other solution for now! – Liridon Sadiku Aug 29 '22 at 11:28
