ListView not expanding inside NestedScrollView

Question

I am using CoordinatorLayout in my activity page. In that there is ListView below the app bar. But its not working when I use ListView

Answer 1

on Lollipop onwards you can use

setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);

on your ListView/GridView/ScrollableView. From the documentation

Enable or disable nested scrolling for this view

if you need backwards compatibility with older version of the OS you'll have to use the RecyclerView. You can read more here

Edit. ViewCompat has the static method setNestedScrollingEnabled(View, boolean). Eg.

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(listView, true)

thanks to @Dogcat for pointing it out

Answer 2

Replace your ListView with RecyclerView if possible else create your customListView and set onMeasure of ListView to this:

 public NonScrollListView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        int heightMeasureSpec_custom = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
                Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec_custom);
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
        params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
    }

This ListView won't be able to scroll anymore and can be used inside NestedScrollView.

Answer 3

Below code worked for me:

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(listView, true);

Your ListView should be inside NestedScrollView

Answer 4

this is what worked for me.

set android:fillViewport="true" on the NestedScrollView

add One Layout Element as Child to NestedScrollView. In my case LinearLayout and then set android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true" on ListView Make ListView a child of LinearLayout

Good to go
