Danny Roa's solution is awesome, but it didn't work for the off-screen items I had just scrolled to. The fix is replacing this:

View targetView = recyclerView.getChildAt(this.position)
                              .findViewById(this.viewId);

with this:

View targetView = recyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(this.position)
                              .itemView.findViewById(this.viewId);

... in the TestUtils class.
