findViewHolderForLayoutPosition

Return the ViewHolder for the item in the given position of the data set as of the latest layout pass.

This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item at the given position is not laid out, it will not create a new one.

Note that when Adapter contents change, ViewHolder positions are not updated until the next layout calculation. If there are pending adapter updates, the return value of this method may not match your adapter contents. You can use #getBindingAdapterPosition to get the current adapter position of a ViewHolder. If the Adapter that is assigned to the RecyclerView is an adapter that combines other adapters (e.g. ConcatAdapter), you can use the getBindingAdapter) to find the position relative to the Adapter that bound the ViewHolder.

When the ItemAnimator is running a change animation, there might be 2 ViewHolders with the same layout position representing the same Item. In this case, the updated ViewHolder will be returned.
