Best way to implement header over a RecyclerView using a grid layout?

Question

I\'m trying to implement the below image. My first thought was to have everything above the grid layout be the first row of the grid and use SpanSizeLookup to set the span s

Answer 1

• use StaggeredGridLayoutManager
• use a different layout for your first item (the whole complex view)
• get its layout params and setFullSpan

This makes the item as wide as the RecyclerView itself (similar to match_parent).

Set various click listeners in the specific ViewHolder that's responsible for this item. Using this approach would set the whole complex view to behave (scroll) as part of the RecyclerView while still making it available for (input) events.
