Android Development Techdegree Graduate 24,991 PointsCombining LinearLayout and GridLayout recycler views.
Hi Guys,
I'm wanting to be able to combine a gridLayout and linearLayouts together in the same list like the Google News and Weather app;
The first item is a grid (I think) or it might be a pagerView) then the next items are recyclerViews using linear layout.
In other apps I've had success in creating a recyclerView "header" and then having another child recycler in the header layout then loading data into that. - Seems to work alright.
I was thinking I could put a boolean in the json model and say if I want to show the gridlayout or hide it depending on what Item I wanted to display. Hope that makes sense;
See link to the Google news and weather app so you can better understand what I'm trying to achieve;
