Updating ImageView with RecyclerView

I have an ImageView above a RecyclerView and I am trying to find a way to update the ImageView as I scroll through the RecyclerView where the top item(image) of the RecyclerView is enlarged and displayed on the ImageView while scrolling.

After some digging around, I found that I could use ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback or ItemTouchHelper.Callback. However, both implement swiping animations that I would not want in my own RecyclerView, or I simply haven't found a way to get rid of these animations.

I hope my explanation was clear enough and if not a comment would be much appreciated.

Here is my xml file for reference:
