ScrollHandleExample

Demonstrates how to progammatically scroll a RecyclerView by manipulating a View with a TouchListener. Although only a RecyclerView is shown in the code, the same method works just as well with NestedScrollView.

The method can be especially useful when constructing layouts that make use of CollapsingToolbarLayout from the Android Design Support Library. This is because layout elements beyond the RecyclerView can be added below the collapsing toolbar, yet still cause it to collapse and expand based on touch events in the same way as a RecyclerView or NestedScrollView.

A demonstration video is on YouTube and a blog post at Partisan Apps that goes into more detail.
