How to implement Horizontal and Vertical Scrolling in RecyclerView?

Question

Curently I'm using ViewPager to achieve Horizontal and Vertical Scrolling in a RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager set to LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL.

Is there any better approach to do the same?

you have to set layout manager to recycler view with orientation as Horizontal

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getOmniActivity(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false));

That will make the list only horizontally scrollable. – Anirudh Nov 04 '15 at 10:28
what do you want to achieve. Can you be more specific. Or you can use Staggered GridView. – Prasanna Anbazhagan Nov 04 '15 at 10:32
I want a list similar to facebook app. The ads are scrollable horizontally and the vertical list has news feed. – Anirudh Nov 05 '15 at 09:24
Then you have to make RecyclerView inside RecyclerView.. That is possible. But performance wise it may slow your phone. – Prasanna Anbazhagan Nov 06 '15 at 07:05

You cant set both horizontal and vertical at a time, you can set either....if you want same approach then use vertical scrollbar with horizontal recyclerview.

You can create horizontal recyclerview as

    LinearLayoutManager layoutManager
    = new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);

RecyclerView myList = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
myList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
