Create the a touch listener like following

mDragSelectTouchListener = new DragSelectTouchListener()
    .withSelectListener(new DragSelectTouchListener.OnDragSelectListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSelectChange(int start, int end, boolean isSelected) {
            // update your selection
            // range is inclusive start/end positions
        }
    })

Following is all optional

    .withMaxScrollDistance(distance)    // default: 16;     defines the speed of the auto scrolling

    .withTopOffset(toolbarHeight)       // default: 0;      set an offset for the touch region on top of the RecyclerView

    .withBottomOffset(toolbarHeight)    // default: 0;      set an offset for the touch region on bottom of the RecyclerView

    .withScrollAboveTopRegion(enabled)  // default: true;   enable auto scrolling, even if the finger is moved above the top region

    .withScrollBelowTopRegion(enabled)  // default: true;   enable auto scrolling, even if the finger is moved below the top region

    .withDebug(enabled);                // default: false;
attach it to the RecyclerView

recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(mDragSelectTouchListener);

On item long press, inform the listener so that it can start doing it's magic

// if one item is long pressed, we start the drag selection like following:
// we just call this function and pass in the position of the first selected item
mDragSelectTouchListener.startDragSelection(position);

TODO
