I recommend you to use a StaggeredGridLayout in your RecyclerView. It will look like Pinterest and you can then put all the items of the same size, except for the first one where you can put a bigger one and the layout will do everything for you. The StaggeredGridLayout will look like this:

You can also use a GridLayout and make an item use more than one cell like here:

You can easily google for a tutorial using the terms I provided.

I hope it helps!
