This is actually happening in a lot of cases beyond just stable IDs; that just happens to be a particularly easy case to repro it on. Running the RecyclerView test suite on the commit in aosp/2345032 (which validates the intended invariants around temp-detached ViewHolders) will reveal the full extent (thousands of failing tests).
There are two possible ways to fix this:
-
When binding a temporarily detached ViewHolder, temporarily re-attach it, perform the bind operation, then immediately temporarily detach it again. This is implemented as aosp/2366713 and passes all tests. I favor this solution, as it's very, very simple. There's not much in the way of potential to go wrong, confuse a third-party LayoutManager, have incorrect bookkeeping, etc. The only reason not to do this is that it performs more temp detaches/reattaches than is strictly necessary, though this is a sufficiently lightweight operation that we currently temp-detach every view on every layout. If this were a bottleneck, I'd think that'd be a place to look at as well.
-
When binding a temporarily detached ViewHolder, temporarily re-attach it, marking it as being temporarily reattached for binding. If the LayoutManager attaches the View manually, simply clear the flag. At the end of layout, go through the scrap views and properly handle these. I do not favor this approach, as it has many possible edge cases (for example, the LayoutManager might add the View somewhere other than the end, which isn't yet handled in the implementation). I've implemented the basics of this as aosp/2371868 as a proof of concept (though one test is currently failing—I am a bit surprised it's not more). I don't want to spend much more time on it, though, as I favor approach #1 absent a reason not to do that.
After discussion, we've decided on approach 1.

Temporarily re-attach temp-detached views for binding, add validation of various intended invariants
Test: Existing test suite should not fail with added invalidation (it does fail very hard without the fix)

It looks like this code in ViewPager2 is a workaround for the bug that's fixed in this change.
Specifically, it looks to be working around the fact that onBindViewHolder
was previously called with temporarily detached views, and using this listener to wait for it to be properly attached so that it can perform operations that rely on it being properly attached.
The previous state was bad precisely because it forced hacky workarounds like this due to the lack of a proper way to listen for changes in temp-detached state (there are listeners, but they don't work, and would likely require changes in both RecyclerView and framework to make them work...it's a very flawed design). Until seeing this workaround, I wasn't aware it was even possible at all to figure it out (and even this has some limitations that probably aren't really relevant to VP2's use-case).
I think the correct solution here is to remove this workaround in ViewPager2 and release new RecyclerView and ViewPager2 versions in parallel to address this, with release notes advising users to upgrade. Jakub, what do you think?
(also, I think I vaguely recall hearing that it's possible to do some sort of Gradle module metadata thing where we can also add the information that VP2 should be at least a certain version if being used with a given RV version? I'm not sure if/how we could do that, though)

Thanks for the explanation!
I'm wondering if there will be versioning issues re. Android platform support vs. AndroidX? (NVM, this is all AndroidX).

Ensure that ViewPager2 is on the latest version when used with an updated recyclerview
As discussed at
ViewPager2 had a workaround for that bug that now crashes when the bug is
not present. To fix this, we need to ensure that ViewPager2 is on a
version containing the corresponding fix in ViewPager2.
