Android : RecyclerView - use adapter in LinearLayouts (or use the RecyclerView with a corresponding LayoutManager)

I have an RecyclerView.Adapter and I don't want to copy the logic to use the views in a LinearLayout.

So I want to know if something of the following two things is possible:

• use the RecyclerView.Adapter somehow in a LinearLayout


• create a LayoutManager that acts like a LinearLayout would do (I think this should be possible, it sounds like a good use case for that)

Is that somehow possible?

Why?

• display the adapter in a scrollable list (in a RecyclerView with the corresponding LayoutManager)


• display the adapter as part of list => here I need an "expanded" list which shows all items at once...
