A few weeks ago I am learning to use the RecyclerView . My main intention to learn how to use it, was that I needed to implement a horizontal list, that is, when turning the device in landscape mode (horizontal) it appeared as follows:

After much searching, I found the detailed way to implement it (how to create the horizontal offset of RecyclerView , here ), but I ran into another problem. The item of RecyclerView was larger than the height of the device (in landscape, horizontal), so I need to create a vertical and horizontal scroll at the same time.

I have looked at the Android Developer methods of the LayoutManager class, but my knowledge is not so high as to understand most of the methods that exist, I have also tried to insert another RecyclerView horizontally in a vertical RecyclerView the content, but I get error of IllegalStateException: RecyclerView has no LayoutManager that I found, as a solution, remove all <View.../> of the XML file, but it does not give any results, and of course, I searched through thousands of pages of the Internet, but see that no one has raised this or it is not possible.

To clarify what I ask with this entry is, someone tell me if this is possible and if you have a possible idea of how to implement it (although I do not know if it is possible) and if it is not possible for me to explain why.

Of course it is possible, what you have to do is what you have researched, create a LinearLayoutManager horizontal that will contain RecyclerView :

LinearLayoutManager layoutManager
    = new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
RecyclerView myListHorizontal = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view_horizontal);
myList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

which are the views that would be recycled Horizontally:

and within each horizontal element add a RecyclerView ,

RecyclerView verticalRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.my_recycler_view_vertical, null);
verticalRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(context, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false));
addView(verticalRecyclerView);

that will contain views that would be recycled vertically:

I was so angry about all the problems I had with the application that I had not thought about the simplest solution.

It turns out that a RecyclerView is made up of two XML files, a main one where the RecyclerView is declared and another with the content of that RecyclerView item.

The simplest and dumbest solution was to enter the RecyclerView into a ScrollView. This way I can move all the items at once vertically thanks to the ScrollView and I can also move the items horizontally thanks to the RecyclerView in landscape mode.

I leave here the main file of the RecyclerView as it shows:

activity_main.xml

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/cardIn_margin_ext">

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:scrollbarStyle="outsideInset"
            android:scrollbars="horizontal" />

</ScrollView>
