Here is another approach. It will work with any layout manager.

1. Make Adapter class abstract
2. Then create an abstract method in adapter class (eg. load())
3. In onBindViewHolder check the position if last and call load()
4. Override the load() function while creating the adapter object in your activity or fragment.
5. In the overided load function implement your loadmore call

For a detail understanding I wrote a blog post and example project get it here http://sab99r.com/blog/recyclerview-endless-load-more/

MyAdapter.java

public abstract class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter{

        @Override
        public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
            //check for last item
            if ((position >= getItemCount() - 1))
                load();
        }

        public abstract void load();
}

MyActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    List items;
    MyAdapter adapter;

   @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    adapter=new MyAdapter(items){
            @Override
            public void load() {
                //implement your load more here
                Item lastItem=items.get(items.size()-1);
                loadMore();
            }
        };
   }
}
