thanks for your help ,especially with the 2d array idea -- but the view is a slider container cardview(or just image view as seen on the twitter app ) so the user can scroll it ?? any idea how to go about doing that i currently load them on start so on on getitemtype view

array of viewTypes[int] == ....

getItemType(){
      if post == 50
          return  viewType [3]

ViewHolder sliderView( view w ){
       imageView1 ,  imageView2  ,imageView12

        public sliderView (  ) { 
                 // set id here 
       }
}

on createView Holder( ....,int p ){
       inflate R.layout .HorizontalSlider
      .......
       return v 
}

onBindView(){
       ads  =  getAdsArray() // get array of image urls
       // insert url into image view maybe with glide 
       imageview1.setImage(uri) // generic
       imageview2.setImage(uri) // generic
       imageview2.setImage(uri) // generic

probably with layout like these

linearLayout horizonat>
       imageview+id imageview1
       imageview+id imageview2
       imageview+id imageview3

but clearly tons of issue with the logic , but cant find better a working implementation ,any help would be appreciated
