Is There An Alternative To Android Recycler Views?

I'm working on an android project and it requires something like the functionality found in the recycler view. However the recycler view requires android 5.0.1 API 21 which will reduce the amount of devices that can use it. I was wondering if anyone knew of any substitutions I might be able to use in lieu of the recylcer view? I've linked to a small video of what the view would be attempting to accomplish.

My dependencies were as follows:

compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.0-rc1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.0-rc1'

They should have been:

compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.0'

No, it does not. recyclerview-v7 works back to API Level 7. Hence, if you want RecyclerView functionality, use RecyclerView.
