Scroll doesn't work in NestedScrollView when try to scroll from views with click events

Question

I\'m using a NestedScrollView in a layout, and am attempting to use the new CoordinatorLayout from the design support library for CollapsingToolbarLayout.

My layout

Answer 1

I had the same problem. It happens only when NestedScrollView content height is less than height of device screen. So the workaround is to use setMinimumHeight(..) method for the view inside your NestedScrollView to make it resize to screen height:

DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getBaseActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
int screenHeight = displaymetrics.heightPixels;

int actionBarHeight = 0;
TypedValue tv = new TypedValue();
if (getBaseActivity().getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.actionBarSize, tv, true)) {
    actionBarHeight = TypedValue.complexToDimensionPixelSize(tv.data,getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}

view.setMinimumHeight(screenHeight - actionBarHeight);

where view is your RelativeLayout

It works fine fore me. Hope it helps you

Answer 2

In your AndroidManifest.xml, make sure you have 'windowSoftInputMode' attribute set to 'adjustResize'.

<activity android:name=".activities.YourActivity"  android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">

Answer 3

One of your ScrollViews will send all events to the first View that answer true on dispatchMotionEvent.

You may avoid using such scenario in your app OR override all dispatchMotionEvent methods (from scrolls and Views) to not consume the ACTION_DOWN.

Answer 4

The solution here (a workaround for this google issue by overriding the nestedScrollview) https://gist.github.com/chrisbanes/8391b5adb9ee42180893300850ed02f2 worked like a charm!

Define FixAppBarLayoutBehavior.java

Usage in java:

AppBarLayout abl = findViewById(R.id.app_bar);
((CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) abl.getLayoutParams()).setBehavior(new FixAppBarLayoutBehavior());

Usage in xml:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:id="@+id/app_bar"
            android:layout_height="..."
            android:layout_width="..."
            app:layout_behavior="your.package.FixAppBarLayoutBehavior">

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
