Answer 1

If you are trying to do a quick scroll to a position at the top of the RecyclerView, just use LinearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset with 0 as the offset.

Example:

mLinearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLinearLayoutManager);

mLinearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(myPosition, 0);

smoothScrollToPosition is very slow. If you want something fast go with scrollToPositionWithOffset.
