I have tried to create nested recyclerview in combination with the mvvmcross-framework which actually worked quite easily, but now I'm getting out of memory exceptions.
Scenario
I have a list of around 3000 entries with complex and long names, which are divided by 8 categories. The user can select the entries via a checkbox to assign them to a task later on.
Even if it might sound like there are too many entries, it is actually quite easily to navigate through them, if the user has some background knowledge, so I would rather not change it at this point.
Code
First the simplified data models for the categories and the entries (channels):
public class ChannelCategory
{
public ChannelCategory(String sName)
{
Name = sName;
Channels = new List<Channel>();
}
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<Channel> Channels { get; set; }
}
public class Channel
{
public string Name { get; protected set;
public bool Selected { get; set; }
public Channel(String sName)
{
Name = sName;
Selected = false;
}
}
And then the axml files which are just getting mapped by MVVMCross:
fragment_channels.axml

Issue
So basically I have a ViewModel, which is assigned to a view (fragment_channels) displays a list of categories (listitem_categories), where each categorie displays a list of channels (listitem_channels). Everything handled with the MVVMCross-Framework. It works fine, until I scroll scroll down to another categorie, then it just freezes for a while and after a few times it crashes with an out of memory exception. Atm I can delay it by giving the inner recyclerviews a fixed size.
Does anyone have an idea what I could change or what am I doing wrong? Maybe I shouldn't just a nested recyclerview, but the handling to this point was really easy and intuitive.
MVVMCross Android Support Version and Co is 4.1.5, Xamarin Android Support Library is 23.3.0

It doesn't seem to be connected with WRAP_CONTENT, it just seems to appear a lot quicker that way. So might be an issue with the RecyclerView itself or maybe MVVMCross, but I'm really not sure atm. Will try to isolate the issue later on.
It seems not directly related to the RecyclerView, because it happens with the ListView aswell, though I don't know how much those two are related since I'm kind of new to Android. So I guess it is either an Android/Monodroid Issue or MVVMCross.
I used the solution "MvxItemTemplateSelector" which recently got added by "thefex" to MVVMCross, though it kinda means i have to flatten my data structure by hand (Categories and Channels to one layer).

Thanks for this feature! Just wish the other way would work aswell, but maybe i can try to solve it when i got more time to spare.
Greetings Cyriac
The problem is that when nesting a ListView or RecyclerView, it can't measure the height of the nested View.
Hence, it will attempt to layout every view in the nested RecyclerView. This means, if that nested item has a lot of items, then your app will run into severe issues.
You should really avoid nesting such types of views unless you provide more information for the Android system to possibly know how to measure the children.
