RecycleView not working after updating support libs

Question

I have implemented RecyclerView in my android project, Which was working fine when I was using Android Support Library version 23.0.1.then I had to update my support Library for some other functionality so I updated my Support Library to 23.1.1. Then as libraries were updated I have deleted previous libraries from eclipse and re-import them and added them to project and cleaned workspace. after that I am getting following compile time error "The type android.support.v4.view.ScrollingView cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files" whereas there is no compile time error in any of the methods which I override from RecyclerView Library.

package com.palasha.tccnetmanager.views;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

public class CustomRecyclerView extends RecyclerView {

    public CustomRecyclerView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public CustomRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean fling(int velocityX, int velocityY) {
        LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = (LinearLayoutManager) getLayoutManager();
        int firstVisibleView = linearLayoutManager
                .findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
        if (firstVisibleView != -1)
            if (velocityX > 0)
                smoothScrollToPosition(firstVisibleView + 1);
            else if (firstVisibleView != 0)
                smoothScrollToPosition(firstVisibleView - 1);
            else
                smoothScrollToPosition(0);
        return true;
    }
}

The version of android-support-v4.jar you are using may be old,replace it with the one in

sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\libs\android-support-v4.jar

Ya I know this, but we are developing this project in eclipse. and currently no plan to port this in android studio. so suggest some way for eclipse. – Palash Agrawal Nov 17 '15 at 10:12
yes you can find the recyclerview jar file from this path..\sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\recyclerview-v7 – Rohit Heera Nov 17 '15 at 10:13
still getting same problem :( with this library also – Palash Agrawal Nov 17 '15 at 10:20
Why you extend the recyclerview – Rohit Heera Nov 17 '15 at 10:57
– Rohit Heera Nov 17 '15 at 10:58
you can directly add the recyclerview in android layout and find the view in activity – Rohit Heera Nov 17 '15 at 10:59
I wanted fling() for changing the scroll behaviour, that is another thing, firstly the problem is recycler view is not getting recognized. – Palash Agrawal Nov 17 '15 at 11:10
yes u need to add the library then its can detect and you need the target version to the max like 22 or 23 – Rohit Heera Nov 17 '15 at 11:17

After wasting some time on this i just fixed it, following this steps:

Remove all support library from your workspace.

Import the support library again(android-support-v7-appcompat) to your workspace.

Go to libs directory of your library v7 which you have imported and delete the "android-support-v4.jar" file.

Left click the project library imported Select "Android Tools" and then click to "Add support library..."

Wait until process gets finish.

Go to your project properties-> Android-> click add-> select android-support-v7-appcompat, click Apply.

Clean the project.

Left click to your project-> properties-> Java Build Path-> libraries

Click "Add JARs.."

Go to android-support-v7-appcompat project's libs directory and select android-support-v4.jar file. Click OK.

Again clean project.

Now import RecyclerView Library and add to project. Again clean it.

This is how I come out of this problem.
