ViewPager inside RecyclerView as row item

I need to have an ViewPager (similar to an horizontal gallery) inside an RecyclerView which display an list vertically. Each row of the RecyclerView will have an ViewPager which will allow to swipe between some images. The ViewPager will also support click events which will be propagated to the parent RecyclerView.

Currently, I have the following implementation:

List adapter:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyHolder holder, int position) {
    super.onBindViewHolder(holder, position);

    Item listItem = get(position);

    ...

    GalleryAdapter adapter =
                    new GalleryAdapter(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(),
                                                         item.mediaGallery);
    holder.imageGallery.setAdapter(adapter);

    ...
}

Gallery adapter:

public class GalleryAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {

    private final List<Item.Gallery> mItems;
    @Bind(R.id.gallery_item)
    ImageView galleryView;

    public SearchResultsGalleryPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, @NonNull ArrayList<Item.Gallery> mediaGallery) {
        super(fm);

        mItems = mediaGallery;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        GalleryFragment fragment = GalleryFragment.newInstance(mItems.get(position));
        ...
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return null == mItems ? 0 : mItems.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
        //return super.getItemPosition(object);
        return PagerAdapter.POSITION_NONE;
    }
}

Gallery fragment:

public class GalleryFragment extends Fragment {

    private static final String GALLERY_ITEM_BUNDLE_KEY = "gallery_item_bundle_key";

    @Bind(R.id.gallery_item)
    ImageView mGalleryView;

    private Item.Gallery mGalleryItem;

    // Empty constructor, required as per Fragment docs
    public GalleryFragment() {}

    public static SearchResultsGalleryFragment newInstance(Item.Gallery galleryItem) {
        GalleryFragment fragment = new GalleryFragment();

        // Add the item in the bundle which will be set to the fragment
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putSerializable(GALLERY_ITEM_BUNDLE_KEY, galleryItem);
        fragment.setArguments(bundle);

        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mGalleryItem = (Item.Gallery) getArguments().getSerializable(GALLERY_ITEM_BUNDLE_KEY);
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container,
                             @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_gallery_item, container, false);
        ButterKnife.bind(this, view);

        displayGalleryItem();

        return view;
    }

    private void displayGalleryItem() {
        if (null != mGalleryItem) {
            Glide.with(getContext()) // Bind it with the context of the actual view used
                 .load(mGalleryItem.getImageUrl()) // Load the image
                 .centerCrop() // scale type
                 .placeholder(R.drawable.default_product_400_land) // temporary holder displayed while the image loads
                 .crossFade()
                 .into(mGalleryView);
        }
    }
}

The issue I'm having is that the fragments of the ViewPager aren't created and displayed correctly. Sometimes they appear after an manual scroll (but not always), in most of the cases they don't appear at all.

Does anyone have an idea on what I've implemented wrong?

I have managed to get around this issue by using PagerAdapter directly.

    private static final String TAG = "GalleryAdapter";

    private final List<Item> mItems;

    private ItemClickSupport.SimpleOnItemClickListener mOnItemClickListener;

    public GalleryAdapter(@NonNull Context context,
                                            @NonNull ArrayList<Item> mediaGallery) {
        super();

        // Inflater which will be used for creating all the necessary pages
        mLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        // The items which will be displayed.
        mItems = mediaGallery;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // Just to be safe, check also if we have an valid list of items - never return invalid size.
        return null == mItems ? 0 : mItems.size();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        // The object returned by instantiateItem() is a key/identifier. This method checks whether

                 .load(galleryItem.getImageUrl()) // Load the image
                 .asBitmap() // All our images are static, we want to display them as bitmaps
                 .format(DecodeFormat.PREFER_RGB_565) // the decode format - this will not use alpha at all
                 .centerCrop() // scale type
                 .placeholder(R.drawable.default_product_400_land) // temporary holder displayed while the image loads
                 .animate(R.anim.fade_in) // need to manually set the animation as bitmap cannot use cross fade
                 .thumbnail(0.2f) // make use of the thumbnail which can display a down-sized version of the image
                 .into(galleryView); // Voilla - the target view
        }
    }
}

And the updated onBindViewHolder() of the parent RecyclerView:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyHolder holder, int position) {
    super.onBindViewHolder(holder, position);

    Item listItem = get(position);

    ...

    GalleryAdapter adapter =
                    new GalleryAdapter(getActivity(), product.mediaGallery);
    // Set the custom click listener on the adapter directly
    adapter.setOnItemClickListener(new ItemClickSupport.SimpleOnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClicked(int position) {
            // inner view pager page was clicked
        }
    });
    // Set the adapter on the view pager
    holder.imageGallery.setAdapter(adapter);

    ...
}

I noticed a little increase in memory usage, but the UI is very fluid. I guess some further optimizations can be made on how many pages are kept and how they are destroyed and restored.

I hope this helps others in a similar situation.
