addHeaderView or addFooterView not available in Recycler VIew - android

I was trying to design my screen as of same in Swiggy App. First, it has horizontal recycler or horizontal scroll view.
Second, it has tab bar which will stick on the top once we will scroll up. Third, it has a vertical recycler view or maybe listView showing restaurants.
So, if we have vertical listView, it's very easy to stick that tab bar(view, the second thing on screen) on the top.
You can see an example here: https://dzone.com/articles/creating-a-listview-parallax-effect-with-a-sticky
But in case of RecyclerView, it doesn't have any direct method addHeaderView. So how do we implement this with RecyclerView.

Use getItemViewType method and create three view holders for first, middle and last items.

Gaps in between recyclerview items when view inside item is shown/hidden

I am using recycler view with linear layout manager, based on some logic I am hiding/showing a view inside recycler view item.
Issue Problem occurs when I scroll, I can see some gaps in between recycler view item, which are random when scroll. If I hide the view always , then there is no issue, but I need to show and hide based on some logic and when implemented the gaps are coming as well.
Assumption One thing I am sure of is that the issue is there because of hiding/showing a view.

Impelement two recyclerview in one screen

How can I implement this kind of UI, where we have two recyclerViews. One scrolls horizontally and the second one vertically. when the second one scrolls first one also scrolls top together.
I tried to implement using NestedScrollView, but I had to make second recyclerView height wrap content which causes recyclerView not recycle.
The second way that I tried was having one recyclerView. And adding horizontal recyclerview as a header. The problem was to save header recyclerview scroll state when navigation. And there had been crashes when loading next page (paging 3) in header recyclerView.
The question is: Is there any optimal solution for this kind of ui?
In cases, Like this, you don't have to use 2 RecyclerView and you also have to avoid using RecyclerView insideScrollView. instead of this you have to use one vertical RecyclerView with multitype view Adapter.
in this way, you are going to have 2 different ViewHolder one of them is a horizontal recyclerView (your top item) and the other one is your other items.
for learning multitype adapter you can see this:
How to create RecyclerView with multiple view types
and for a horizontal recyclerView inside a vertical RecyclerView you can see this :
https://medium.com/#ashishkudale/android-list-inside-list-using-recyclerview-73cff2c4ea95
you have to combine these 2.
I could not understand the meaning of "header" where you said "adding horizontal recyclerview as a header" but if you did what I told and the problem is the state of inner Horizontal recyclerView, I think probably you are calling setAdapter method of horizontal RecyclerView in OnBind() method of your vertical recycler view, it is a common mistake that I have seen in many tutorials.
if you have done this mistake , try to call setAdapter of your inner recyclerView in the constructor of its viewHolder and just update the list using yourHorizontalAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() in onBind() method of VerticalRecylerView,
and if its not the case and your recyclerView is completely destroying see this link :How to save RecyclerView's scroll position using RecyclerView.State?

How to make row list using recyclerView and card? Can I use Nested RecyclerView?

I'm trying to design a row list using RecyclerView like Android TV ↳ android.support.v17.leanback.widget.ListRow. I'm able to design list with title but not row list. Can anyone help me?
Please Follow this Link for
Recycer view like play store
Use Two RecyclerView Outer Recycler is vertical and Second horizontal recycler is item of first recycler View
All you need is to call mInnerRecycler.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false); on your inner RecyclerViews and use Horizontal scrollview as root of mInnerRecyclerView
Explanation:
RecyclerView has support for nested scrolling introduced in API 21 through implementing the NestedScrollingChild interface. This is a valuable feature when you have a scrolling view inside another one that scrolls in the same direction and you want to scroll the inner View only when focused.
In any case, RecyclerView by default calls RecyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true); on itself when initializing. Now, back to the problem, since both of your RecyclerViews are within the same ViewPager that has the AppBarBehavior, the CoordinateLayout has to decide which scroll to respond to when you scroll from your inner RecyclerView; when your inner RecyclerView's nested scrolling is enabled, it gets the scrolling focus and the CoordinateLayout will choose to respond to its scrolling over the outer RecyclerView's scrolling. The thing is that, since your inner RecyclerViews don't scroll vertically, there is no vertical scroll change (from the CoordinateLayout's point of view), and if there is no change, the AppBarLayout doesn't change either.
In your case, because your inner RecyclerViews are scrolling in a different direction, you can disable it, thus causing the CoordinateLayout to disregard its scrolling and respond to the outer RecyclerView's scrolling.
Notice:
The xml attribute android:nestedScrollingEnabled="boolean" is not intended for use with the RecyclerView, and an attempt to use android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false" will result in a java.lang.NullPointerException so, at least for now, you will have to do it in code.
RecyclerView can check View Type for return header or item. And use layout manager for manage how to item scrolling direction.

- item -> RecyclerView (horizontal scrolling) check view type is header or item with condition example : is object has type header

Hide footer in RecyclerView when all items fit on screen

I made header and footer in my RecyclerView using typical solution with viewType in Adapter. It works fine, but I want to hide the footer if all RV items fit inside the screen, when nothing to scroll. Is there any way to know that all items will be displayed without scrolling and say to Adapter not to add footer in this case?
You can get scroll offset of recycler view with this code
recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollOffset();
Then you should check if scroll offset is more than your parent views heigh and do what you want ;)

Merging ViewFlipper with ListView

What I'm trying to do is to have horizontal ViewFlipper and Listview, both with custom ArrayAdapters, inside LinearLayout which would be vertically scrollable on whole screen.
1) Tried adding ViewFlipper as a ListView header but then I can't use GestureListener since ArrayAdapter takes control over it like it's ListView item.
2) Tried putting them together inside LinearLayout but ViewFlipper's position is fixed and ListView is scrollable inside rest of the screen.
3) Trying with MergeAdapter but it can't handle swipe gesture on it's first element (ViewFlipper), it always returns ViewFlipper's item position.
Here's the picture to clarify what I'm trying to make. Top Stories is ViewFlipper and Latest Posts is ListView. And they both scroll vertically. Ignore bottom tabs and ActionBar as they are static (nonscrollable).
You've got your work cut out for you.
Here are two approaches:
1) Set the view flipper as the first row in the List view. Its a special case. Not as a header, but as a regular row.
2) Use a scroll view, and do not use the list view at all. You may have performance problems if your data for the list view is a large number of items.
Take a look at the ViewPager from the Android Compatibility Library it does what you need
