// Scroll the scrollbar
scrollBar.progress = 50

// The view will also scroll accordingly
view.scrollTo(0, 50)

To implement synchronized views, you can use the following code:

// Create two views
val view1 = LinearLayout(context)
val view2 = LinearLayout(context)

// Link the two views together
LinkScrollMsky.link(view1, view2)

// Scroll one view
view1.scrollTo(0, 50)

// The other view will also scroll accordingly
view2.scrollTo(0, 50)
