A long long time ago, we have android.widget.Gallery to shows items (ex. photos) in a center-locked, horizontally scrolling list. My example "Implement Android Gallery widget". But it deprecated and no longer supported.
So in long time ago at 2012, I have another example to "Implement Gallery-like HorizontalScrollView".
Now, with RecyclerView and CardView, it's another example to implement Gallery-like RecyclerView + CardView. It display files in ExternalStorageDirectoryPath + "/test/" folder.
(If you want to load from other user selectable folder, refer "Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT (from API level 19) to load images in RecyclerView + CardView".)
To use RecyclerView + CardView, we have to "Add Support Libraries of RecyclerView, CardView to Android Studio Project".
Create our RecyclerView.Adapter, MyRecyclerViewAdapter.java

CardView itemCardView = (CardView)layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_cardview, parent, false);
