RecyclerView use two different layouts?

[lpbas]

First of all I would like to thank you fort this amazing library!

In the app I'm building, my layout has a different first item in the RecyclerView, a "header" or "promoted" first item, and the rest of them are a second layout. Is there a way to get Skeleton to mimic this layout?

Imagine the layout where it's a vertical list of articles, and the first article is double the height of the rest of them, and some elements moved around, like the title.

Thank you!

@L4grange yes, you can use loadArrayOfLayouts api instead of load

Why I can't find such a method?

I use workaround: create another viewType special for loader + two layouts, first - as wrapper/container for Skeleton.bind(View) approach, second - skeleton layout itself.
In adapter's onCreateViewHolder method you need to inflate wrapper layout (as for ussual item), then initialize it via Skeleton.bind.

Note: It's important to initialize skeleton in adapter's onCreateViewHolder, cuz it's called once per viewholder's life, while onBindViewHolder - might be called multiple times (recycling mechanism).
