Answer 1

to save position to Preferences, add this to your onStop()

 int currentVisiblePosition = ((LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
 getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).edit().putInt("listPosition", currentVisiblePosition).apply();

then restore position like this

 if (getItemCount() == 0) {
     int savedListPosition = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("listPosition", 0);
     recyclerView.getLayoutManager().scrollToPosition(savedListPosition); }

this last code should be added inside an event of the Adapter (not sure witch event but in my case was onEvent() - com.google.firebase.firestore.EventListener)
