Recycler view programmatically "modify" item at given position
<p>Using Android's <code>RecyclerView</code>, I would like to change the background of a given Item (even if it isn't currently visible).</p>

<p>All the tutorials I saw shows how to access a view using a <code>OnItemClickListener</code>, but in my case that has to be done programmatically without any action from the user.
I simply want to retrieve the view, and being able to apply functions such as <code>.setBackground()</code> or <code>findViewById()</code> on it.</p>

<p>How can I achieve this, having the position of the view i want to edit ?</p>
