Answer 1

You can easily do that with GridLayoutManager. Use SpanSizeLookup to control your row/column . For your case you have to use HORIZONTAL orientation. SpanSizeLookup will help you to control your rows in each column in HORIZONTAL GridLayoutManager.

 GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getContext(), NUM_OF_ROW, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, reverseOrder);

    GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup spanSizeLookup = new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
        @Override
        public int getSpanSize(int position) {
              // for position 0 use only one row. for this position it will take all rows
            if (position  == 0) {
                 return NUM_OF_ROW;
            }

            return 1;
        }
};

Here is blog post about different Layout Manager implementation.

I have uploaded a repo on Github about different LayoutManager usage like LinearLayoutManager, GridLayoutManager, StaggeredGridLayoutManager and some advance RecyclerView usage like swipe, Drag and Drop. You can also check that

Answer 2

here is what i use for arranging items horizontally provided you're using RecyclerView:

 int numberOfColumns = 3; //edit as you want pls
        final GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this.getContext(), numberOfColumns);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

I might be off your solution, perdon if so, but pasting some of your code might help better.
