[SailfishDevel] Menus in Long ListViews

[Matthew Vogt]

Hi Lucien.

The SilicaListView (as well as SilicaGridView and SilicaFlickable) provides the scrollToTop() function to rapidly return to the top of the list.
You can see an example of its use in the MenuPage in the example componentsgallery application, inside the PushUpMenu.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello,

I think that when you want to add an entry to the contacts, you might not want
to do that in the middle of the contact list ...

However, I would like to have a fast scroll capability, or something to "go
back on top", just in case that desire of creating a contact happened in the
middle of the browsing.

Cheers,
Lucien
