Managed to set a basic listview using this widget but I have not found any method to change the layout or display to a grid.

Over the Google I/O 2014 they mentioned several times that RecyclerView could replace gridview as well as listview. The sample and sources for recyclerView in the L preview don't point to anything related to a grid.

How to make the recycler act like a grid?

AFAIK, there is no stock layout manager that offers a grid with `RecyclerView`, at least at the present time. – CommonsWare Jul 01 '14 at 12:31

I think this question should be re-opened. A good answer won't be broad or long, it would simply state how to setup a layout manager that will show a grid using the new recycler view or point to an available sample. – Guy Jul 17 '14 at 12:35

The closest thing I can find: https://github.com/antoniolg/RecyclerViewExtensions I've looked at the built in linear version and it's quite complicated actually... – tom91136 Jul 29 '14 at 08:59
@NightlyNexus no one needs such library nowadays when there is an official `RecyclerView` – Dmitry Zaytsev Aug 06 '14 at 13:57

@DmitryZaitsev TwoWayView is based on RecyclerView. Also, Mr. Rocha is going to release an API for it, so it will be easier to write custom, powerful LayoutManagers. – Eric Cochran Aug 06 '14 at 14:01
@NightlyNexus ah, sorry - it didn't noticed that it is based on `RecyclerView` – Dmitry Zaytsev Aug 06 '14 at 14:01
@Tom91136 wins the prize, that is the closest thing to a gridview working on recyclerView. Thanks man – Gabriel C. Carp Aug 12 '14 at 09:19

You can simply initialize the recycler view with GridLayoutManager instead of LinearLayoutManager!! Thats it!! mLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this,4); – Abhinava Nov 15 '14 at 15:21
