How to position a Recycler View like Google Play Store or Google Music in Android

How can I position a Recycler View like this.

It initially begins on the right edge of the view showing only just a few elements. And once you begin scrolling, all other elements starts showing.

The default Recycler View would position all elements from the leftmost part of the view.

How can I achieve this?

Another solution would be to use a ViewPager for the horizontal scrollable list of items.

With a ViewPager you can use the following snippet to indent the items:

ViewPager.setPadding(int left, int top, int right, int bottom)

I read the other comments and felt like adding this answer. Adding a new type is overkill for achieving your goal. There's a much simpler way (Which I suppose is used in Google Play Music app).

Add horizontal padding to your RecyclerView and prevent clipping.

Here is what it would look like in xml:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/rv"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="250dp"
    android:clipToPadding="false"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="10dp" />

The key here is android:clipToPadding="false"
