Answer 1

you can create addHeaderView and use

adapter.addHeaderView(View).

This code build the addHeaderView for more then one header. the headers should have:

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter {
    private static final int TYPE_ITEM = -1;
    public class MyViewSHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public MyViewSHolder (View view) {
            super(view);
        }
        // put you code. for example:
        View mView;
        ...
    }

    public class ViewHeader extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        public ViewHeader(View view) {
            super(view);
        }
    }

    private List mHeaderViews = new ArrayList<>();
    public void addHeaderView(View headerView) {
        mHeaderViews.add(headerView);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
       return ... + mHeaderViews.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        if (mHeaderViews.size() > position) {
            return position;
        }

        return TYPE_ITEM;
    }
    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        if (viewType != TYPE_ITEM) {
            //inflate your layout and pass it to view holder
            return new ViewHeader(mHeaderViews.get(viewType));
        }
        ...
    }
    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int basePosition1) {
        if (holder instanceof ViewHeader) {
            return;
        }
        int basePosition = basePosition1 -  mHeaderViews.size();
        ...
    }
}
