In Android, is there any way to implement fast scrolling in the new RecyclerView?

Question

I've converted all of the large ListView components in my app into the new RecyclerView using the support library v7. And they do work much better/faster/smoother. But I can't find any way to enable fast scrolling (like the setFastScrollEnabled() method in ListView). Is there any way to get that working?

Please look at the answer i gave for the following post. I dont know will it help you much but it just my first version.

Android L: Fast scroll for the RecyclerView

i used recyclerView.scrollToPosition(psoition); rather then recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(position); because the reyclerview basically scroll through the entire list to go to the position and this takes time if you have a long list.

No, currently there isn't any way. RecyclerView doesn't implement the fast scroll as the ListView, so the only way to do this is implemented it yourself.

The question was if it's possible to implement it. Your answer of "do it yourself" is useless – user496854 Nov 19 '14 at 07:50
