Improved fast scrollers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Similar in appearance to those in the android phone book where by they look
like they do when not scrolling, when they are being used they change to
these which are easier to press

Also display the first letter in the name as it is in android phone book list. 
To
easier brows in large library.

Displaying first letter is some major work since we're dealing with an array 
adapter
and not a cursor.

But I'll make the button larger.

If possible the button only needs to be larger when you are scrolling, it then 
slides
back to the right ater a brief delay to leave a small scroll button as there is
currently. 

Works nicely in the android phonebook stops the big button making things look 
cramped
but makes scrolling much easier

Basically it's a lot of work programming wise to make the remote aware of what 
the
current letter being scrolled through is. It'd be a nice feature I agree but 
its not
a priority currently with the amount of work involved.
