Display buttons dynamically in recyclerview android studio

I am working on a student tracker app and I am trying to display dynamic buttons that get created under each of my students. I will paste an image below of what I hope for it to look like.

At the moment, I am hardcoding the buttons for the first image. I am getting the picture of the student and their name from my firbase db. Now my questions is how can I generate the checkBox for each of the student's and make sure it's directly under their picture and name like above.

In my mind, I am thinking the algorithm would be something like

1. Loop through my Students ArrayList
2. Generate the checkBox for each student
3. Place them onto my recyclerView.

I will paste relevant code down below.

Add Check Boxes in student_item.xml instead daily_grading.xml

Try this:

<CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/checkBox"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="PASS"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/recyclerView"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.046"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.499"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/checkBox2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="FAIL"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.261"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.499"
        android:visibility="gone" />

and

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    //TextView
    holder.textView.setText(studentsArrayList.get(position).getName());

    Glide.with(mContext).load(studentsArrayList.get(position).getImageUrl()).into(holder.imageView);

    if (studentsArrayList.get(position).displayButtons()) { //check if you need the buttons or not
        holder.checkBox.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        holder.checkBox2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    } else {
        holder.checkBox.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        holder.checkBox2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
}

Change the code of your student_item.xml to this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
app:cardElevation="2dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="52dp">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/passc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/textView"
android:text="pass" />
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/failc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/textView"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/passc"
android:text="fail" />
</RelativeLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

and control the behaviour of the checkboxes from RecyclerAdapter.class

Step 1: Add the recyclerview in one xml file.

Step 2: The elements that must be inside a reecyclerview in another xml file (Here add a button that you need).

Step 3: Link these two xml files.

Thus after each insertion dynamically a button will be added.

Hope you will find the solution.
