Latest update if anyone is actually reading these... My selection trick is working but it's still wonky and selecting things at random. I believe this is due to the way the inflater works, only inflating one page at a time. I guess the list position repeats itself for each cached page. But I'm not too sure. Does anyone know of a setting that can make the position accurate for the whole list and not just the visible page? I'd look it up myself, but my brain seriously hurts after all this. And maybe someone out there just happens to know.
