In the bind view holder of 1st recyclerview use it like:

InnerRecyclerviewAdapter adapter=new InnerRecyclerviewAdapter(context,urlistArray);
holder.recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
holder.recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(context, 
LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
