RecyclerView inside ScrollView is not working

Question

I\'m trying to implement a layout which contains RecyclerView and ScrollView at the same layout.

Layout template:

Answer 1

Actually the main purpose of the RecyclerView is to compensate for ListView and ScrollView. Instead of doing what you're actually doing: Having a RecyclerView in a ScrollView, I would suggest having only a RecyclerView that can handle many types of children.

Answer 2

In case setting fixed height for the RecyclerView didn't work for someone (like me), here is what I've added to the fixed height solution:

mRecyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {
        int action = e.getAction();
        switch (action) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                rv.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                break;
        }
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {

    }
});

Answer 3

The new Android Support Library 23.2 solves that problem, you can now set wrap_content as the height of your RecyclerView and works correctly.

Answer 4

It seems that NestedScrollView does solve the problem. I've tested using this layout:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
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:id="@+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/dummy_text"
        />

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
        >
        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

</LinearLayout>

And it works without issues

Answer 5

For ScrollView, you could use fillViewport=true and make layout_height="match_parent" as below and put recycler view inside:

<ScrollView
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_below="@+id/llOptions">
          <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/rvList"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            />
</ScrollView>

No further height adjustment needed through code.

You can try with setting recycler view Hight as wrap_content. in my case its working fine. I am trying with 2 different recycler view in scroll view
