If anyone would like to use the FastScrollRecyclerView mentioned above in Xamarin, I just ported the main classes (you'll still need to create the xml resource and prep your index etc etc - see the original repo for a guide, it's pretty simple).
I included the tweaks suggested in the issues page to improve the ScrollToPosition and index height (which also makes it work in landscape) and also switched out the Java Handler class for an async Task.Delay. It may still have issues, it's a straight port otherwise. Seems to be ok though. Hopefully I have saved someone some time :)
