layout_below not working with layout_centerVertical

I have been trying to use RelativeLayout in ScrollView to positioning two LinearLayouts, one to top and one to center. I've used layout_alignParentTop and layout_centerVertical. To prevent overlapping I've tried to use layout_below on second LinearLayout but it breaks layout_centerVertical and the second LinearLayout goes to top. How to do it? Thanks.

The items in RecyclerView fit the width space irregularly

I have a RecycleView that loads review comments in a vertical LinearLayout that has layout_width attribute set to "match_parent". The adapter loads the items, but not as expected.
The first few items in my adapter do not fit the entire width space and they look visually wrong. But as I scroll down the list, it looks like the list refreshes itself and now the items are loaded fitting the entire width space.
I do not know how to best describe this problem as I have not found anything relevant concerning it. What do you think it is and how can I fix visually my RecyclerView?

When TextView expanded below linerview is disappear

I have a problem when my TextView expanded with many texts the items below the TextView is disappeared.

Any suggestions,

Problem is
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/SCROLLER_ID"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:fillViewport="true">
Here, height is specified as wrap_content and therefore, it may fill entire below area and view below it may not be visible.
You need to specify some height for this so that you views below it are always visible.

the main problem on this approach is that when i check my solution on smaller devices the text at left orverlaps the text at right, one solution that i am searching is to decrease the content based on the device size, but didn't find that yet.
This is what i get on a Nexus 5 for example:
this is what i get on a smaller device:
any help with this guys?
Thank you very much

You can use Linear layout for this. You can assign weight to each item.
Try this code :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_margin="10dp"

android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView

android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#c7c7c7"

Your problem can be solved using an relative layout that wraps the view where you want the LoadingView to be on top of, ex:
<RelativeLayout>
<com.github.jlmd.animatedcircleloadingview.AnimatedCircleLoadingView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/circle_loading_view"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
app:mainColor="#color/primaryColor"
app:secondaryColor="#color/primaryColorDark"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/circle_loading_view">
//the view on top of witch the loading bar should be
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
