Answer 1

You can display multiple cards in Recycler view.

1) Override getItemViewType() method

@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {

    switch (position) {
        case 0:
            return VIEW_TYPE_ONE;
        case 1:
            return VIEW_TYPE_TWO;
             .
             .
             .
        case n:
            return VIEW_TYPE_N;

        default:
            return DEFAULT_VIEW_TYPE;
    }
}

2)Check for viewType in onCreateViewHolder() method

 @Override
 public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
   switch (viewType) {
     case  VIEW_TYPE_ONE: 
      // return card one.  
          .
          .
          .
    }
 }

3) Check for view type in onBindViewHolder() with the position and set data to your card accordingly.

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
     switch (getItemViewType(position)) {
        case VIEW_TYPE_ONE:
          ViewTypeOneViewHolder holderObj= (ViewTypeOneViewHolder) holder;
          //Your implementation for view type one.

          break;
          .
          .
          .
     }
 }
