put some code in question, especially adapter and related XMLs, and describe your problem precisely what do you want to show, what you have tried so far — snachmsm, Dec 08 '21 at 13:18
Can you please add proper description, as your question description not enough to understand what you want? — Asad Mukhtar, Dec 08 '21 at 13:20

I think, may this helpful bcz, in every position there are dynamicly generate item view respectably.

                LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getContext());
                linearLayoutManager.setOrientation(RecyclerView.HORIZONTAL);
                IAFTbind.rcvFilters.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
                IAFTbind.rcvFilters.setAdapter(new RecyclerView.Adapter() {
                    public int checkedPosition = 0;


                    @NonNull
                    @Override
                    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
                        ImageView imageView = new ImageView(getContext());
                        imageView.setScaleX(.9f);
                        imageView.setScaleY(.9f);
                        imageView.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(size, size));
                        return new RecyclerView.ViewHolder(imageView) {
                            @Override
                            public String toString() {
                                return super.toString();
                            }
                        };
                    }

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

                        ((ImageView) holder.itemView).setBackground(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(fBits.get(p), size, size, false)));

//                        ((ImageView) holder.itemView).setBackground(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmaps.get(position)));

                        int cp = this.checkedPosition;

                        if (cp == -1) {
                            ((ImageView) holder.itemView).setImageResource(0);
                        } else if (cp == p) {
                            ((ImageView) holder.itemView).setImageResource(R.drawable.draw_tool_selecter_strock);
                        } else {
                            ((ImageView) holder.itemView).setImageResource(0);
                        }


                        holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {
                                ((ImageView) holder.itemView).setImageResource(R.drawable.draw_tool_selecter_strock);
                                checkedPosition = p;
                                notifyDataSetChanged();

                                changeBitmapEffect(p);
                            }
                        });
                    }

                    @Override
                    public int getItemCount() {
                        return fBits.size();
                    }

                });

Problem statement

You want to add childs dynamically as per the screenshot you shared.

Solution

So here I can see 2 recycler views, one inside another. The first recycler view is for parents which have 2 items

Parents name
Another recycler view for children

What you need to do is, you need to pass the updated list of item to the parent's recyclerview adapter, which will send the updated list of item to childs recyclerview adapter and the childs recyclerview adapter will check using the diffUtil about any changes and it will reflect the changes in the recyclerview.
