Layout like HotStar App [closed]

Question

I have to create layout like HotStar App, but I am bit confuse that what would be the best way of doing this:

1. Do I need multiple RecyclerViews or single RecyclerView is enough ?

2. Do I need to call multiple JSONs or single JSON is enough to fetch data from server?

3. How Do I use different - different layouts for You May Also Like and Must Watch Clips

Answer 1

With this you will be able to create same Look-And-Feel

1.- For upper menu tab, you have to layout TABS

2.- For detail section, please add CARDS

3.- Divider for your sections, use SUBHEADERS

Now, regarding your questions:

1. You can handle everything with just one single RecyclerViews

2. Best approach, is to get a separated JSON for each section, since you never know how big each section will be. That will help a lot with a better performance and clean code.
