For me, it's even worse: 0 position is called often 10 times. And it's called even if I'm at the end of the list, without position 0 on the screen.

My solution is a static ArrayList of items being currently processed for display and I ignore those double-calls. It's not the best solution though as it still uses resources to get 0 position while it's even not on the screen.

As it seems like a bug, I think I will cache a View for position 0 so it would get a quick and proper return value even if the position is not on the screen.
