Implementing listview with scrollable views and view caching

I'm on a research to design a ListView with horizontal scroll of views - something like in the facebook app.
I also need to implement a caching for the horizontally scrollable views.
Some of the options I can think of are:
Horizontal scroll view items.
A ViewPager which I understand is not quite good for this task.
What would be my way to go on this?
I've read some StackOverflow questions and am still researching but none of what I read so far also implement caching for the scrolled horizontal views.

Just use two RecyclerViews which are nested. The backing data is a two dimensional array as the layout is two-dimensional. The outer RecyclerView passes the data for the inner RecyclerView when the onBindViewHolder of the adapter is called. Additionally you may also use different layouts or ViewHolder respectively if the inner view consists only of a single item and does not require horizontal scrolling.
Some references about implementing RecyclerViews

This will help you. You can use caching while scrolling. For example if you load images with horizontal scroll bar, you could use picasso library for catching and loading images.

Dont think big we have some library that will do what you want below listed some of them

Which View/Widget can be used to display images on the screen one at a time by swiping horizontally?

I have a list view in which I want each list item will contain images. But the images will be displayed one at a time. SO, at a time for every list item only one image will be displayed. To view other images in the list item,one has to swipe horizontally. Is there any inbuilt widget that handles this in android?
EDIT1
My List item not only has Image but it also contains other views like textview, seekbar etc. So each list item will contain Image, textview, seekbar etc but the majority of the space will be occupied by the Image. Now, for each list item, when the image is swiped horizontally, another image has to be downloaded from a ulr and displayed.
EDIT2
I did a bit of research on ViewPager but many references like the answers here and this blog seem to suggest that using ViewPager inside a listview is not a good idea. Why is that? If it is not a good idea, what is a good alternative?

This problem can be solved by using ViewPager.

ViewPager(for swiping between views) + UniversalImageLoader(for loading images from URLs, with caching etc)

If it is not, what is a good alternative?
I think you should use RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL. All things like recycling the views, view holder design pattern can be done easily with it and it is a new widget that google introduced and you can use it instead of ListView + ViewPager. because as you suggested it is not recommended to use viewpager inside listview. Although you can use horizontalScrollView but it dose not recycle the view. Other third party library like this exist but I recommend you use RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL because it is from google and it is normally tested more than people library. And another thing is you can use other layout manager like GridLayoutManager or having for example 3 rows that swiping horizontally or other good effects like adding animation and .... that google provided with RecyclerView.
For downloading the images you can use Picasso,Volley, Universal Image Loader or a lot of other libraries that exist.
Happy Coding :-)

Not sure I'm following you, but rather than a ListView wouldn't it be simpler to use ViewPager with simple Fragment that wraps a single image at a time. That way you get horizontal swiping "for free".

Do you just want swipe to change images? Or do you want the images to scroll as you swipe? For the former, you can just use a GestureDetector. For the latter you would probably use a ViewPager. See http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html

I have achieved the same functionality by using ViewPager, you can either put the SeekBar and TextView in the Fragment class off which you are gonna make multiple instances for each item and add to the pageradapter,
You can also add the TextView and SeekBar above the ViewPager Layout in your main fragment layout file and change the text and data on seekbar on viewpager's on item change listener, this looks more neat and this is the approach i've used

android animate views inside a scroll view while scrolling

Is there example android code or sample android app which demonstrate animation of the views while scrolling.
For example. In a scroll view some items are not visible when you scroll the items will start to come inside the screen that time i just want to animate that view.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Download this app. Here you will find tons of libraries of your use. I also seen the library which your are asking in this app. You will find source code links in the app as well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.desarrollodroide.repos&hl=en
Or You can do one more thing
Just add on scroll listener and some more listeners are there by which you can detect which portion of your scroll view is visible.
Then You can add animation to those views.

Try Listview animation library.
Modify it and use.

Horizontal Carousel or ScrollView with text over image

I'm trying to figure out the best approach to design a horizontal scrollview from android >= 2.1 with some text over the image that when scroll if end is reached it starts showing the first items again hence carousel behavior.
You can continue scrolling horizontally, forever, and the first item shows up again when the end is reached, for example when scrolling swiping to the left. It can be a view pager with an adapter, a carousel but not horizontal scrollview as it does not support some android device.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why not use a ViewPager? As it is available in the Support Library. I would insist to use ViewPager instead of HorizontalScrollView or Gallery. You can check an example for ViewPager from my github.
UPDATE
To show multiple views inside a Fragment you can use getPageWidth(). Check here for reference.

For future people looking for this, here's an excellent library that fit my needs for a similar problem!

ListView or ScrollView?

At the moment, I am using a ScrollView with a LinearLayout inside it. I want to implement a snap function. Am I better off using a ListView? Is it even possible to implement a snap function with my current setup? I want to keep things simple.

By "snap function" I am assuming that you mean paging so the user can swipe from side to side similar to the Play Store or the ICS Dialer apps. While yes, you can implement this yourself with a ScrollView, or any number of other solutions, I don't think you should because you can use Android's ViewPager class.
ViewPager is a wonderful view that uses a collection of Fragments as pages in a single layout. This will give your user a very familiar and consistent interface, and will save you a lot of very difficult code.
