Should I use a recyclerView inside a recyclerView or is there a better way?

Question

I have a query which returns all logEntries for a specific exercise.

ER Diagram

Each log entry has: log_id total_weight_lifted and reps .

I would like to display the results of this query in a recyclerView like this.

How is this best achieved?

Should I create a recyclerView inside another recyclerView, or is there a better way to achieve this?

you mean recyclerview inside the view holder of recyclerview ? yes you can do that , alternatively you can set a clicklister on the view holder and then open another fragement/activity which shows that data — Abhinav Chauhan, May 21 '20 at 12:26

Nesting of recylcers is generally a bad idea. This is bad for performance.

You might want to create RecyclerView with multiple view types. One for category title (for example "Tuesday, March 17" from your screenshot) and a second one for rep ("110 kgs 1 reps")

Here is stackoverflow post on how to create RecyclerView with multiple view types: How to create RecyclerView with multiple view type?
