Answer 1

Set from xml file add two property in RecyclerView

app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.GridLayoutManager"
app:spanCount="2"

Answer 2

If i understand correctly, you want to have the items in your recyclerview able to show in two columns. Try adding this when you set layoutManager

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, 2));
