    ...
}

All you need is to create and setup an AwesomeLayoutManager instance

layoutManager = new AwesomeLayoutManager();

//how much your views will be scaled
layoutManager.setScaleFactor(0.5f);

//beheave like a ViewPager or not
layoutManager.setPagination(true);

// how much an item view will be high in vertical mode
layoutManager.setPageHeightFactor(.7f);

// time of transition between vertical and horizontal mode
layoutManager.setTransitionDuration(450);

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

You can scroll your views like a normal RecyclerView

layoutManager.setPagination(false);

Also you can control the maximum height of views. For instance, make it small:

layoutManager.setPageHeightFactor(.7f);
