when I am using LinearLayoutManager it is working but I need grid view, please advise what should be better way?

Answer 1

It's just what it says: setStackFromEnd is not supported. It's only for lists, not grids.

Consider using reverse layout

So the way you work around this is to call setReverseLayout(true) on your GridLayoutManager.

This means you will need to reverse the entire order of your list. If you are appending items meant to show up at the bottom, you will have to insert them at the beginning instead.
