TableView using Recyclerview (Android)

A sample Android Studio Project showing using a Recyclerview as a Table View.

Here's the preview

Code Snippets

Here's the Recyclerview xml in the main layout.

<!-- Table View-->
<HorizontalScrollView
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recyclerViewMovieList"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false"
    tools:listitem="@layout/table_list_item" />

</HorizontalScrollView>

Here's the Recyclerview Adapter onBinding (all other stuffs are the same)

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    RowViewHolder rowViewHolder = (RowViewHolder) holder;

    int rowPos = rowViewHolder.getAdapterPosition();

    if (rowPos == 0) {
        // Header Cells. Main Headings appear here
        rowViewHolder.txtRank.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_header_cell_bg);
        rowViewHolder.txtMovieName.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_header_cell_bg);
        rowViewHolder.txtYear.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_header_cell_bg);
        rowViewHolder.txtCost.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_header_cell_bg);

        rowViewHolder.txtRank.setText("Rank");
        rowViewHolder.txtMovieName.setText("Name");
        rowViewHolder.txtYear.setText("Year");
        rowViewHolder.txtCost.setText("Budget (in Millions)");
    } else {
        MovieModal modal = movieList.get(rowPos-1);

        // Content Cells. Content appear here
        rowViewHolder.txtRank.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_content_cell_bg);
        rowViewHolder.txtMovieName.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_content_cell_bg);
        rowViewHolder.txtYear.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_content_cell_bg);
        rowViewHolder.txtCost.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.table_content_cell_bg);

        rowViewHolder.txtRank.setText(modal.getRank()+"");
        rowViewHolder.txtMovieName.setText(modal.getMovieName());
        rowViewHolder.txtYear.setText(modal.getYear()+"");
        rowViewHolder.txtCost.setText(modal.getBudgetInMillions()+"");
    }
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return movieList.size()+1; // one more to add header row
}

Motivation

While searching for TableView plugins, I found out that many of the Tableviews are really hard to setup and customize. So had to make one using Recyclerview, for adjusting the row height based on the content text.
