Probably http://alexzh.com/tutorials/multiple-row-layouts-using-recyclerview/ will help. It uses only RecyclerView and CardView. Here is an adapter:

public class DifferentRowAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> { private List<CityEvent> mList; public DifferentRowAdapter(List<CityEvent> list) { this.mList = list; } @Override public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { View view; switch (viewType) { case CITY_TYPE: view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_city, parent, false); return new CityViewHolder(view); case EVENT_TYPE: view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_event, parent, false); return new EventViewHolder(view); } return null; } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) { CityEvent object = mList.get(position); if (object != null) { switch (object.getType()) { case CITY_TYPE: ((CityViewHolder) holder).mTitle.setText(object.getName()); break; case EVENT_TYPE: ((EventViewHolder) holder).mTitle.setText(object.getName()); ((EventViewHolder) holder).mDescription.setText(object.getDescription()); break; } } } @Override public int getItemCount() { if (mList == null) return 0; return mList.size(); } @Override public int getItemViewType(int position) { if (mList != null) { CityEvent object = mList.get(position); if (object != null) { return object.getType(); } } return 0; } public static class CityViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { private TextView mTitle; public CityViewHolder(View itemView) { super(itemView); mTitle = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.titleTextView); } } public static class EventViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { private TextView mTitle; private TextView mDescription; public EventViewHolder(View itemView) { super(itemView); mTitle = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.titleTextView); mDescription = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.descriptionTextView); } } } 

And here's an entity:

public class CityEvent { public static final int CITY_TYPE = 0; public static final int EVENT_TYPE = 1; private String mName; private String mDescription; private int mType; public CityEvent(String name, String description, int type) { this.mName = name; this.mDescription = description; this.mType = type; } public String getName() { return mName; } public void setName(String name) { this.mName = name; } public String getDescription() { return mDescription; } public void setDescription(String description) { this.mDescription = description; } public int getType() { return mType; } public void setType(int type) { this.mType = type; } }
