Android RecycleView: Adding dynamic views

I have decided to upgrade my code to use RecyclerView now instead of the list I am using now.

As I understand the following is how it normally goes:

This is all fine and dandy... If the views in the list contain the same fields...

My views however in my list are different, before I programmatically added views depending on the adapter List (in the getView method).

Is there a "good practice" way to handle this, I can't think of a good way to get around this.

getViewItemType does not work as the views are unique and that they are not predefined.

This is what you need to use when you different types of Views inside a ListView or RecyclerView :- 

getItemViewType() and getViewTypeCount()

First you need to use getViewTypeCount() and return the number of unique views you need inside your List. Then override getItemViewType() and return the View type you want to inflate inside the List row.

Hope it will help.

If you still have any issue and need a working example, let me know, i'll update my answer.
