Answer 1

The approach I would use if I were in you, to accomplish what you posted in the picture is to override getItemViewType and have two different types of ViewHolder, once for the header, the one with the big image and the other adapter for the small rows. onBindViewHolder gets the type as parameter. In your case is int i.
