How to arrange multiple images horizontally on single activity

I am new to android i have developed an application in which i have to display images horizontal view on single activity i have done using staggered recycleview but am getting like this.
But i want to design like this as part of the activity.

You can easily do that with GridLayoutManager. Use SpanSizeLookup to control your row/column . For your case you have to use HORIZONTAL orientation. SpanSizeLookup will help you to control your rows in each column in HORIZONTAL GridLayoutManager.
GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getContext(), NUM_OF_ROW, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, reverseOrder);
GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup spanSizeLookup = new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
#Override
public int getSpanSize(int position) {
// for position 0 use only one row. for this position it will take all rows
if (position == 0) {
return NUM_OF_ROW;
}
return 1;
}
};
Here is blog post about different Layout Manager implementation.
I have uploaded a repo on Github about different LayoutManager usage like LinearLayoutManager, GridLayoutManager, StaggeredGridLayoutManager and some advance RecyclerView usage like swipe, Drag and Drop. You can also check that

here is what i use for arranging items horizontally provided you're using RecyclerView:
int numberOfColumns = 3; //edit as you want pls
final GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this.getContext(), numberOfColumns);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
I might be off your solution, perdon if so, but pasting some of your code might help better.

How to modify the position of a single View inside a RecyclerView

I've implemented a RecyclerView that based on a Preference value, displays a variable number of buttons. This is the situation:
What I would like to have
What I currently have
I am using a GridLayoutManager to display the buttons but I have many doubts about how to get the result I want. I've tryed to work with the span size and other things but with no results. Should I override onLayoutChildren() or is there an easier solution for this?

You can try this :
GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(context, 3);
gridLayoutManager.setSpanSizeLookup(new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
#Override
public int getSpanSize(int position) {
return 3 - position % 3;
}
});
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);

LinearLayout span after rotation

I have a RecyclerView using a GridLayout. The RecyclerView has heterogeneous layouts (I followed this guide link) with the difference that I have only on top of the recyclerView a textView showing some data. It works fine but when I rotate the screen, and the gridlayout is set with two or more spans, the textView is shown on the first span only but I want that the span will take the entire width of the screen regardless the number of spans.
Should I use a tableLayout for that?

All you need to do is set a custom SpanSizeLookup on your GridLayoutManager.
final int numSpans = ...
// Create a grid layout with numSpans columns
GridLayoutManager layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this, numSpans);
// Create a custom SpanSizeLookup where the first item spans all columns
layoutManager.setSpanSizeLookup(new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
#Override
public int getSpanSize(int position) {
return position == 0 ? numSpans : 1;
}
});

How to create the TableView dynamically as metioned below one screen shot in android

I have to create Table Layout dynamically in android. First one header for one row, second one two column for another row in Table Layout.

Ok. So your main concern about to show header with gridview.
Simplest way to show as per your requirement is to use Recyclerview with GridLayoutManager.
RecyclerView mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
GridLayoutManager glm = new GridLayoutManager(this, 2);
glm.setSpanSizeLookup(new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
#Override
public int getSpanSize(int position) {
if (position % 4 == 0) {
return 2; // row with single column.
} else {
return 1; // row with two column.
}
}
);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(glm);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
You will get following output.
I hope this will you.

StaggeredGridLayoutManager. How to have one item in first row and 2 item other rows

I am using recyclerview with staggeredGridLayoutManager.
What i am trying to do is to show one header item in first row. then i want to show 2 items in each below row. But i am unable to do so.
Here is code that i used.
recyclerView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recycler);
staggeredGridLayoutManager = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(1,1);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(staggeredGridLayoutManager);
And these are the results
Help me with this. thanks

You could use GridLayoutManager.
GridLayoutManager manager = new GridLayoutManager(this, 2, GridLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
manager.setSpanSizeLookup(
new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
#Override
public int getSpanSize(int position) {
// 2 column size for first row
return (position == 0 ? 2 : 1);
}
});
Here we are creating a GridLayoutManager with 2 grid columns. Then only for the first row, we are setting the span size to 2.
