A lot of these answers seem to be over complicating it.

The LayoutManager supports onRestoreInstanceState out of the box so there is no need to save scroll positions etc. The built in method already saves pixel perfect positions.

example fragment code (null checking etc removed for clarity):

private Parcelable listState;
private RecyclerView list;

@Override
public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    listState=savedInstanceState.getParcelable("ListState");

}

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);

    outState.putParcelable("ListState", list.getLayoutManager().onSaveInstanceState());

}

then just call

list.getLayoutManager().onRestoreInstanceState(listState);

once your data has been reattached to your RecyclerView
