Why doesn't RecyclerView have onItemClickListener()? And how RecyclerView is different from Listview?

I don't know whether I am asking the right question. I was exploring RecyclerView and I was surprised to see that RecyclerView does not have onItemClickListener(). Because RecyclerView extends

android.view.ViewGroup

and ListView extends

android.widget.AbsListView

. However I solved my problem by writing onClick in my RecyclerView.Adapter:

public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener {

    public TextView txtViewTitle;
    public ImageView imgViewIcon;

    public ViewHolder(View itemLayoutView) {
        super(itemLayoutView);
        txtViewTitle = (TextView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
        imgViewIcon = (ImageView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.item_icon);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

    }
}

But still I want to know why Google removed onItemClickListener()?

Is there a performance issue or something else?
