RecyclerView is missing in android.support.v7.widget

Question

F.i. Support7Demos uses android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView, but this class is missing in the v7 compatibility lib and it's missing in the android reference http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/package-summary.html

Answer 1

RecyclerView is part of the "L" Developer Preview at the moment. Here is an existing Stack Overflow answer with instructions of how to add RecyclerView to your "L" project. Documentation for the "L" Developer Preview is available for download.

Sometime after the next version of Android ships, RecyclerView should be moved into a more mainstream position within the Android developer documentation.
