Android RecyclerView Fixed Footer

Past few days I've been working on fixed footer for my recyclerview but so far I didn't get the result that I expected. I've already taken a look existing questions but got same result as before.It seems I 'm still missing a point but I can't figure out... Therefore I'm waiting for your suggestions. Thanks! Here is the current view of layout, I want that FOOTER part to be sticky at bottom of recyclerview.

DrawerAdapter.java

public class DrawerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<DrawerAdapter.DrawerViewHolder> { // Class for view types. private class VIEW_TYPES { public static final int Header = 0; public static final int Normal = 1; public static final int Footer = 2; } private ArrayList<DrawerItem> drawerMenuList; private String userProfileName; private String userProfileMail; private Drawable userProfilePic; private OnItemSelecteListener mListener; public DrawerAdapter(ArrayList<DrawerItem> drawerMenuList, String name, String mail, Drawable profileImage) { this.drawerMenuList = drawerMenuList; this.userProfileMail = mail; this.userProfileName = name; this.userProfilePic = profileImage; } @Override public DrawerViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { View view; if (viewType == VIEW_TYPES.Header) { view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.header, parent, false); } else if (viewType == VIEW_TYPES.Footer) { view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.footer, parent, false); } else { view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_row, parent, false); } return new DrawerViewHolder(view, viewType); } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(DrawerViewHolder holder, int position) { // If item's position 0 it's a header. if (position == 0) { holder.headerName.setText(userProfileName); holder.headerMail.setText(userProfileMail); holder.headerProfile.setImageDrawable(userProfilePic); } else if (position == 5) { // If position is 5 then it's footer. holder.headerName.setText("FOOTER"); } else { // it's a menu item. holder.title.setText(drawerMenuList.get(position - 1).getTitle()); holder.icon.setImageResource(drawerMenuList.get(position - 1).getIcon()); } } @Override public int getItemCount() { return drawerMenuList.size() + 1; } @Override public int getItemViewType(int position) { if (position == 0) { return VIEW_TYPES.Header; } else if (position == 5) { return VIEW_TYPES.Footer; } else { return VIEW_TYPES.Normal; } } class DrawerViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { TextView title; TextView headerName; ImageView icon; TextView headerMail; ImageView headerProfile; public DrawerViewHolder(View itemView, int viewType) { super(itemView); if (viewType == VIEW_TYPES.Header) { headerName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.header_name); headerMail = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.header_email); headerProfile = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.circleView); } else if (viewType == VIEW_TYPES.Footer) { headerName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.textView3); } else { title = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.title); icon = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.icon); } itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { mListener.onItemSelected(view, getAdapterPosition()); } }); } } // To set click listener. public interface OnItemSelecteListener { void onItemSelected(View v, int position); } public void setOnItemClickLister(OnItemSelecteListener mListener) { this.mListener = mListener; } 

}

MainActivity.java

 for (int i = 0; i < navMenuTitles.length; i++) { Log.e("I", String.valueOf(i)); mDrawerItemList.add(new DrawerItem(navMenuTitles[i], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(i, -1))); } mDrawerItemList.add(new DrawerItem()); mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.drawerRecyclerView); mDrawerAdapter = new DrawerAdapter(mDrawerItemList, logged_user.name, logged_user.email, draw_userImage); mLinearLayoutManager = new CustomGridLayoutManager(HomeScreenActivity.this){ @Override public boolean canScrollVertically() { return false; } }; mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLinearLayoutManager); mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mDrawerAdapter); mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.DrawerLayout); mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(HomeScreenActivity.this, mDrawerLayout, mToolbar, R.string.openDrawer, R.string.closeDrawer) { @Override public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) { super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView); // code here will execute once the drawer is opened( As I dont want anything happened whe drawer is // open I am not going to put anything here) } @Override public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) { super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView); // Code here will execute once drawer is closed } }; // Drawer Toggle Object Made mDrawerLayout.addDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle); // Drawer Listener set to the Drawer toggle mDrawerToggle.syncState(); // Finally we set the drawer toggle sync State mDrawerAdapter.setOnItemClickLister(new DrawerAdapter.OnItemSelecteListener() { @Override public void onItemSelected(View v, int position) { Log.e("CLICK", "You clicked at position: " + position); } });
