Should I add recyclerView and CardView in dependencies?

I use RecylerView and CardView in my app and this my dependencies in build.gradle file: 

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'
    compile 'co.ronash.pushe:android-lib:0.9.1'        
    compile('com.mikepenz:materialdrawer:5.1.2@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }        
    compile('com.mikepenz:crossfadedrawerlayout:0.3.2@aar')
    compile 'com.mikepenz:google-material-typeface:2.2.0.1@aar'
    compile 'com.mikepenz:fontawesome-typeface:4.4.0.1@aar'
    compile 'com.mikepenz:octicons-typeface:3.0.0.1@aar'

    compile 'com.readystatesoftware.sqliteasset:sqliteassethelper:+'
    compile 'com.github.bluejamesbond:textjustify-android:2.1.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.github.jd-alexander:LikeButton:0.2.0'
    compile project(':material_rey')
    }

my app works in kitkat correctly. Should I add these dependencies to my build.gradle or not? what is the difference?

compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.1'

I use Android Studio 2.0 . when I run my app on SAMSUNG A5 with android 5.1.1 (lollipop) my RecyclerView doesn't scroll and my CardView doesn't have shadow and corner. I try solutions suggested in SO such as adding card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true" or adding margin .even change xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" to xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/tools" doesn't work.
Are these issues relative to dependencies?

com.android.support:design:23.2.1 includes RecyclerView in it. While cardView is not mentioned in the link, but if you are not finding any errors, and cardview is rendering then, it too is included. Hence, you needn't add these to the dependencies.

Recyclerview will not scroll if its rows fit in the screen. You can raise separate SO questions for these.
