It might be late but its the easiest and tested way to handle this issue in recyclerview .

first check the length of textview and set view more if require

if (inventory.getDescription().length()>90) {
  inventoryDescription.setText(Html.fromHtml(inventory.getDescription().substring(0,90)+"..."+" View More"));
 }
 else inventoryDescription.setText(inventory.getDescription());

and in textview click listener

inventoryDescription.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

   if (inventoryDescription.getText().toString().endsWith("View More")) {
       inventoryDescription.setText(inventory.getDescription());
      } 
    else {

   if (inventory.getDescription().length()>90) {
 inventoryDescription.setText(Html.fromHtml(inventory.getDescription().substring(0,90)+"..."+" View More"));

   }
   else inventoryDescription.setText(inventory.getDescription());
    }

            }
        });
