Can you ellaborate? What exactly is the issue? – Auroora

@TheoK RecyclerView ignores the attribute wrap_content and assumes that it's height is 0. The issue is mentioned here. There is a solution for LinearLayoutManager but not for GridLayoutManager. – Bout

Answer 1

I've solved the problem by using only one RecyclerView and using getItemViewType(int position) method in the adapter. Example here.

Answer 2

According to the announce of a support library version 23.2.0 all default layout managers support auto-measurement now. So all WRAP_CONTENT and MATCH_PARENT should work correctly from this moment.

Don't forget to update version of a library in gradle file.

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.0'
