change the background color of item in RecylerView , having position only : I have the positions for all the items in the RecyclerView and i want to write a code which programmatically gives background color of the item, just on the basis of position provided to it. So far i am able to scroll to the item by using this recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(Integer.parseInt(value));. But not able to highlight or give background color to that item.
