FastScroll

A ListView-like FastScroller for Android’s RecyclerView.

FastScroll brings the popular fast scrolling and section indexing features of Android’s ListView to the RecyclerView with a Lollipop styled scrollbar and section “bubble” view. The scrollbar provides a handle for quickly navigating a list while the bubble view displays the currently visible section index.

FastScroll was inspired by this Styling Android blog post.

Download

Gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.l4digital.fastscroll:fastscroll:1.0.4'
}

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.l4digital.fastscroll</groupId>
  <artifactId>fastscroll</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>

Usage

FastScrollRecyclerView extends Android's RecyclerView and can be setup the same way.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    FastScrollRecyclerView recyclerView = (FastScrollRecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    recyclerView.setAdapter(new ExampleAdapter());
}

Add the FastScrollRecyclerView to your xml layout and set your customizations using attributes.

The parent ViewGroup must be a ConstraintLayout, CoordinatorLayout, FrameLayout, or RelativeLayout in order for the FastScroller to be properly displayed on top of the RecyclerView.

<FrameLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.l4digital.fastscroll.FastScrollRecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:bubbleColor="#00bb00"
        app:bubbleTextColor="#ffffff"
        app:handleColor="#999999"
        app:trackColor="#bbbbbb"
        app:hideScrollbar="false"
        app:showTrack="false" />

</FrameLayout>

Implement the FastScroller.SectionIndexer interface in your RecyclerView Adapter and override getSectionText().

class ExampleAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ExampleAdapter.ViewHolder> implements FastScroller.SectionIndexer {

    ...

    @Override
    public String getSectionText(int position) {
        return getItem(position).getIndex();
    }
}
