How to monitor touch events of ViewHolders and control the scroll action of it's RecyclerView?

Question

When a user touches a ViewHolder (it has horizontal scroll enabled), depending on the angle of the scroll, I need to decide if it's parent Recyclerview needs to be triggered or the viewHolder's scroll needs to process that touch itself. Here is a rough layout of my activity. The recycler view Horizontal is one of the various View Holders of it's parent recyclerview

You Can set Scroll listener to the recycle view and check the direction of recycle view

 mRecyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
            @Override
            public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
                super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
                switch (newState) {
                    case RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE:
                        System.out.println("The RecyclerView is not scrolling");
                        break;
                    case RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING:
                        System.out.println("Scrolling now");
                        break;
                    case RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING:
                        System.out.println("Scroll Settling");
                        break;

                }

            }

            @Override
            public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
                super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
                if (dx > 0) {
                    System.out.println("Scrolled Right");
                } else if (dx < 0) {
                    System.out.println("Scrolled Left");
                } else {
                    System.out.println("No Horizontal Scrolled");
                }

                if (dy > 0) {
                    System.out.println("Scrolled Downwards");
                } else if (dy < 0) {
                    System.out.println("Scrolled Upwards");
                } else {
                    System.out.println("No Vertical Scrolled");
                }
            }
        });
