How save the state of RecyclerView row item?

Question

I have a recyclerview which populates data from SQL database. Now each row in the recyclerview has a seekbar which when moved displays it's progress in a textview inside the same row. The problem is when I scroll the recyclerview up or down then return back to the first changed row, the seekbar is returned to its default position. How can I make it save the new position ? In normal activities/fragments I use lifecycle methods as "onPause" to save/restore the state. Here we have onAttachedToRecyclerView, I think it should solve my problem but I don't know exactly how.

EDIT : here is a full simple app files which I'm working on to test this problem.

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private List<Score> scoreList = new ArrayList<>();
    private RecyclerView recyclerView;
    private MyAdapter mAdapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);

    mAdapter = new MyAdapter(scoreList);
    RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
    recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
    recyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

    prepareScoreData();
}

private void prepareScoreData() {
    Score score = new Score("title", 5);
    scoreList.add(score);

    for(int i= 0; i<1000; i++){
        score = new Score("title", 5);
        scoreList.add(score);
    }

    mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}

MyAdapter

public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
private List<Score> scoresList;

public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    TextView title, scoreView;
    SeekBar seekbar;

    public MyViewHolder(View view) {
        super(view);
        title = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.title);
        scoreView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.score);
        seekbar = (SeekBar) view.findViewById(R.id.seekbar);
    }
}


public MyAdapter(List<Score> scoresList) {
    this.scoresList = scoresList;
}

@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
            .inflate(R.layout.item, parent, false);

    return new MyViewHolder(itemView);
}


@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
    final Score score = scoresList.get(position);
    holder.title.setText(score.getTitle());

    if (!score.getProgressed()) {
        holder.seekbar.setProgress(0) ;
    } else {
        holder.seekbar.setProgress(score.getSeekbarProgress());
    }

    holder.seekbar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int i, boolean b) {
            holder.scoreView.setText(String.valueOf(i));
            score.setSeekbarProgress(i);
            score.setProgressed(true);
        }

        @Override
        public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
        }
    });
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return scoresList.size();
}
}

Score class

public class Score {
private String title;
int seekbarProgress;
boolean progressed;

public Score() {
}

public Score(String title,int seekbarProgress) {
    this.title = title;
    this.seekbarProgress = seekbarProgress;
}

public void setProgressed(boolean progressed) {
    this.progressed = progressed;
}



public void setTitle(String title) {
    this.title = title;
}

public void setSeekbarProgress(int seekbarProgress) {
    this.seekbarProgress = seekbarProgress;
}

public String getTitle() {
    return title;
}

public int getSeekbarProgress() {
    return seekbarProgress;
}

public boolean getProgressed() {
    return progressed;
}
}

If you are using recyclerview you need to maintain states of each row, means if you are checking using a condition(i.e. if) at any stage of recyclerview item(in recyclerview adapter class) then you need to handle else as well. I can send you a code snippet so you can have a good idea for recyclerview adapter.

public class ContactsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ContactsAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    List<ViewHolder> holders = new ArrayList<ViewHolder>();
    private ArrayList<ContactModel> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
    private Context context;
    private LayoutInflater inflater;

    public void clearAdapter() {
        arrayList.clear();
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    public ContactsAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<ContactModel> arrayList) {
        this.context = context;
        this.arrayList = arrayList;
    }

    public void setList(ArrayList<ContactModel> listSearch) {
        this.arrayList = listSearch;
        notifyItemRangeChanged(0, listSearch.size());
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row_for_contacts, parent, false);
        ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(view);
        holders.add(viewHolder);
        return viewHolder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
        final ContactModel current = this.arrayList.get(position);
        holder.txtDriverName.setText(current.getName());
        holder.txtDriverPhone.setText(current.getPhone());
        if (current.getImgUrl().length() > 0) {
            String urlLicenceThumb = UrlEndPoints.parentUrl + current.getImgUrl();
            Glide.with(context).load(urlLicenceThumb).error(R.mipmap.ic_launcher).into(holder.imgDriver);
        } else {
           Glide.with(context).load(R.mipmap.ic_launcher).into(holder.imgDriver);
        }
    }

    public void delete(int position) {
        arrayList.remove(position);
        notifyItemRemoved(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return (null != arrayList ? arrayList.size() : 0);
    }

    class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        private TextView txtDriverName, txtDriverPhone;
        private CircleImageView imgDriver;
        private Button btnInvite;
        private CheckBox chkAdd;

        public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            chkAdd = (CheckBox) itemView.findViewById(R.id.chkAdd);
            imgDriver = (CircleImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.imgDriver);
            txtDriverName = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtDriverName);
            txtDriverPhone = (TextView)     itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtDriverPhone);
            btnInvite = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.btnInvite);
        }
    }
}
