Answer 1

If you wish to use the Horizontal Recycler View to act as a ViewPager then it's possible now with the help of LinearSnapHelper which is added in Support Library version 24.2.0.

Firstly Add RecyclerView to your Activity/Fragment

In my case I have used a CardView inside the RecyclerView

blog_row.xml

In your Activity/Fragment

    private RecyclerView mBlogList;




 LinearLayoutManager layoutManager
                    = new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
            mBlogList = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.blog_list);

            mBlogList.setHasFixedSize(true);
            mBlogList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

LinearSnapHelper snapHelper = new LinearSnapHelper() {
            @Override
            public int findTargetSnapPosition(RecyclerView.LayoutManager lm, int velocityX, int velocityY) {
                View centerView = findSnapView(lm);
                if (centerView == null)
                    return RecyclerView.NO_POSITION;

                int position = lm.getPosition(centerView);
                int targetPosition = -1;
                if (lm.canScrollHorizontally()) {
                    if (velocityX < 0) {
                        targetPosition = position - 1;
                    } else {
                        targetPosition = position + 1;
                    }
                }

                if (lm.canScrollVertically()) {
                    if (velocityY < 0) {
                        targetPosition = position - 1;
                    } else {
                        targetPosition = position + 1;
                    }
                }

                final int firstItem = 0;
                final int lastItem = lm.getItemCount() - 1;
                targetPosition = Math.min(lastItem, Math.max(targetPosition, firstItem));
                return targetPosition;
            }
        };
        snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(mBlogList);

Last Step is to set adapter to RecyclerView

mBlogList.setAdapter(firebaseRecyclerAdapter);
