Answer 1

you can use setFullSpan in the layout manager to create a row that looks like a header

public final void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {

    StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams layoutParams = (StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams) viewHolder.itemView.getLayoutParams();
    layoutParams.setFullSpan(true);
}

i use onBinViewHolder to fill content of each reyclerview item, what the purpose create layoutParams in there? – Mainmast

I dont understand the question, you dont create anything in there you set the span to full width anytime you want to create a row that is a header – Sunwise

life saver! layoutParams.setFullSpan( true ); works like charm – Hippolytus
