Android: set fixed item on RecyclerView

I have a RecyclerView, when I click in the first view it adds another view like in the image, what I want is to set the “add” view which ID is “1” to be fixed in the last position of the recycler instead in the first.

My adapter:

public class AddEventsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<AddEventsAdapter.ViewHolder> {

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

    public void addItem(String name) {
        items.add(name);
        notifyItemInserted(items.size() - 1);
    }

    public void removeItem(int position) {
        items.remove(position);
        notifyItemRemoved(position);
        notifyItemRangeChanged(position, items.size());
    }

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.add_event_item, parent, false);

        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }


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

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        holder.setEventNameName(i + "");
        if(position == 0) 
        {
            holder.theLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#7F9099"));
            holder.eventName.setText("Add");
        }

    }
    static int i;
    class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        public TextView eventName;
        public RelativeLayout theLayout;




        public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            eventName = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.eventName);
            theLayout = (RelativeLayout)itemView.findViewById(R.id.backgroundevent);

            theLayout.setId(++i);

            theLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    if (getAdapterPosition()>0){
                        removeItem(getAdapterPosition());
                    }else {
                        addItem("");
                    }
                }
            });

        }

        public void setEventNameName(String TheEventName){
            eventName.setText(TheEventName);
        }
    }
}

In the activity:

final AddEventsAdapter AddContainer = new AddEventsAdapter();
    AddEventsRecycler.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    AddEventsRecycler.setAdapter(AddContainer);
    AddEventsRecycler.setItemViewCacheSize(666);

    RecyclerView.ItemAnimator itemAnimator = new DefaultItemAnimator();
    itemAnimator.setAddDuration(1000);
    itemAnimator.setRemoveDuration(1000);
    AddEventsRecycler.setItemAnimator(itemAnimator);

    AddContainer.addItem("");

I solved it by creating a custom adapter that allows a footer and a header, here is the project in GitHub: https://github.com/u3breeze/android-RecyclerView-WithHeaderAndFooter
