GridLayout, GridView, RecyclerView... for a 2x8 and 4x8 grid

I want to make two seperate grids, one with 2 columns and 8 rows and another with 4 columns and 8 rows. Which layout should I choose? It only needs to work vertically and there should be some space on the top for a button. I don't want any elements to disappear, but I would also prefer not to scroll to see all elements.
You can use a GridLayoutManager instead of a LinearLayoutManager when you set the RecyclerView up.
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, numberOfColumns));

How to make recyclerview width larger than the layout width?

I want to make the width of a recyclerView wider than the width of the layout itself so that only a part of the items of the recyclerView could be seen until the user scroll to the left.
I think an image can explain it better:
Each item of the recyclerView have 5 textViews like this:
And I want to see only 4 of them until the user scrolls to the left like this:
After scrolling, the first textView shouldn't be seen until the user scrolls to the right.
How can I accomplish that? Should I change the item layout to be larger than the screen or the recyclerView?
You must be looking for something like this.
Embed the RecyclerView (nestedScrollingEnabled=false) inside a Horizontal Scrollview
List item for Recyclerview should have the width set to wrap_content

how to limit the number of list's itmes per each screen?

I am new android studio developer.
I am using listView , so I want to limit the items previewed for each screen, for example I want only 6 items only to be shown on screen.
I couldn't find any xml attribute can help.
For you list adapter only add 6 items to it or return 6 for the count of items in the adapter. Just because you pass in a full array you don't have to display every item in the array.
There is a general move away from ListView / ListAdapter to RecyclerView / RecyclerViewAdapter so you many want to consider moving to them as well.

Top items of Expandable Listview don't refresh when I make some change of them

I want to use expandable listview as a main part of a fragment of my app.What I want to achieve is when I click a item of the expandable listview,the item would show something else like a image.However,it gets fine when I click the the 7th,8th,or lager than 8 item of the listview,but the image will not show if I click the top 6 item of the expandable listview. I think it would be something of expandable listview's cache,but I don't know how to fix it.
