我看到有很多很棒的答案，令人难以置信的详细和广泛。就我而言，如果我几乎从头开始，一步一步地推理，我总是能更好地理解事情。我建议你看看这个链接，每当你有类似的问题，搜索任何解决这个问题的代码实验室。

Android Kotlin基本原理:在RecyclerView头

使用Kotlin，视图类型的实现变得更加容易。下面是这个light库https://github.com/Link184/KidAdapter的示例

recyclerView.setUp {
    withViewType {
        withLayoutResId(R.layout.item_int)
        withItems(mutableListOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
        bind<Int> { // this - is adapter view hoder itemView, it - current item
            intName.text = it.toString()
        }
    }


    withViewType("SECOND_STRING_TAG") {
        withLayoutResId(R.layout.item_text)
        withItems(mutableListOf("eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve"))
        bind<String> {
            stringName.text = it
        }
    }
}

下面的代码不是伪代码。我已经测试过了，它对我很有效。

我想在我的recyclerview中创建一个headerview，然后在用户可以点击的标题下面显示一个图片列表。

我在我的代码中使用了一些开关，不知道这是否是最有效的方法，所以请随意给出您的评论:

   public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        //These are the general elements in the RecyclerView
        public TextView place;
        public ImageView pics;

        //This is the Header on the Recycler (viewType = 0)
        public TextView name, description;

        //This constructor would switch what to findViewBy according to the type of viewType
        public ViewHolder(View v, int viewType) {
            super(v);
            if (viewType == 0) {
                name = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.name);
                decsription = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);
            } else if (viewType == 1) {
                place = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.place);
                pics = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.pics);
            }
        }
    }


    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
                                         int viewType)
    {
        View v;
        ViewHolder vh;
        // create a new view
        switch (viewType) {
            case 0: //This would be the header view in my Recycler
                v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                    .inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_welcome, parent, false);
                vh = new ViewHolder(v,viewType);
                return  vh;
            default: //This would be the normal list with the pictures of the places in the world
                v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_picture, parent, false);
                vh = new ViewHolder(v, viewType);
                v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, nextActivity.class);
                        intent.putExtra("ListNo",mRecyclerView.getChildPosition(v));
                        mContext.startActivity(intent);
                    }
                });
                return vh;
        }
    }

    //Overridden so that I can display custom rows in the recyclerview
    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        int viewType = 1; //Default is 1
        if (position == 0) viewType = 0; //If zero, it will be a header view
        return viewType;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        //position == 0 means it's the info header view on the Recycler
        if (position == 0) {
            holder.name.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(mContext,"name clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });
            holder.description.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(mContext,"description clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });
            //This means it is beyond the headerview now as it is no longer 0. For testing purposes, I'm alternating between two pics for now
        } else if (position > 0) {
           holder.place.setText(mDataset[position]);
            if (position % 2 == 0) {
               holder.pics.setImageDrawable(mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pic1));
            }
            if (position % 2 == 1) {
                holder.pics.setImageDrawable(mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pic2));
            }
        }
    }

如果视图类型的布局很少，而且绑定逻辑很简单，那么请遵循Anton的解决方案。但是，如果需要管理复杂的布局和绑定逻辑，代码就会很混乱。

我相信下面的解决方案对于需要处理复杂视图类型的人是有用的。

基本DataBinder类

abstract public class DataBinder<T extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

    private DataBindAdapter mDataBindAdapter;

    public DataBinder(DataBindAdapter dataBindAdapter) {
        mDataBindAdapter = dataBindAdapter;
    }

    abstract public T newViewHolder(ViewGroup parent);

    abstract public void bindViewHolder(T holder, int position);

    abstract public int getItemCount();

......

}

在这个类中需要定义的函数与创建单一视图类型时的适配器类几乎相同。

对于每个视图类型，通过扩展这个DataBinder来创建类。

样例DataBinder类

public class Sample1Binder extends DataBinder<Sample1Binder.ViewHolder> {

    private List<String> mDataSet = new ArrayList();

    public Sample1Binder(DataBindAdapter dataBindAdapter) {
        super(dataBindAdapter);
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder newViewHolder(ViewGroup parent) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(
            R.layout.layout_sample1, parent, false);
        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void bindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        String title = mDataSet.get(position);
        holder.mTitleText.setText(title);
    }

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

    public void setDataSet(List<String> dataSet) {
        mDataSet.addAll(dataSet);
    }

    static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        TextView mTitleText;

        public ViewHolder(View view) {
            super(view);
            mTitleText = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.title_type1);
        }
    }
}

为了管理DataBinder类，需要创建一个适配器类。

基DataBindAdapter类

abstract public class DataBindAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        return getDataBinder(viewType).newViewHolder(parent);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
        int binderPosition = getBinderPosition(position);
        getDataBinder(viewHolder.getItemViewType()).bindViewHolder(viewHolder, binderPosition);
    }

    @Override
    public abstract int getItemCount();

    @Override
    public abstract int getItemViewType(int position);

    public abstract <T extends DataBinder> T getDataBinder(int viewType);

    public abstract int getPosition(DataBinder binder, int binderPosition);

    public abstract int getBinderPosition(int position);

......

}

通过扩展这个基类来创建类，然后实例化DataBinder类并覆盖抽象方法

getItemCount 返回DataBinders的项目总数 getItemViewType 定义适配器位置和视图类型之间的映射逻辑。 getDataBinder 根据视图类型返回DataBinder实例 getPosition 定义从指定DataBinder中的位置到适配器位置的转换逻辑 getBinderPosition 定义从适配器位置到DataBinder中的位置的转换逻辑

我在GitHub上留下了更详细的解决方案和示例，所以如果你需要，请参考RecyclerView-MultipleViewTypeAdapter。

这是非常简单直接的。

只需在适配器中重写getItemViewType()方法。根据数据返回不同的itemViewType值。例如，考虑一个Person类型的对象，其成员为male，如果isMale为真，则返回1,isMale为假，则在getItemViewType()方法中返回2。

现在来到createViewHolder (ViewGroup parent, int viewType)，在不同的viewType的基础上，你可以膨胀不同的布局文件。像下面这样:

 if (viewType == 1){
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.male, parent, false);
    return new AdapterMaleViewHolder(view);
}
else{
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.female, parent, false);
    return new AdapterFemaleViewHolder(view);
}

在onBindViewHolder (VH holder,int position)检查holder是AdapterFemaleViewHolder或AdapterMaleViewHolder的实例，并相应地分配值。

ViewHolder可能是这样的

    class AdapterMaleViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
            ...
            public AdapterMaleViewHolder(View itemView){
            ...
            }
        }

    class AdapterFemaleViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
         ...
         public AdapterFemaleViewHolder(View itemView){
            ...
         }
    }
