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     lt RelativeLayout gt       lt ScrollView android id    id myScrollView  gt          lt unrelated data gt     lt  unrealated data gt               lt android support v7 widget RecyclerView                 android layout width  match parent                  android layout height  wrap content                  android id    id my recycler view                gt       lt  ScrollView gt     lt  RelativeLayout gt    Problems  i can scroll until the last element of ScrollView  Things i tried     card view inside the ScrollView  now ScrollView contains RecyclerView  - can see the card up until the RecyclerView initial thought was to implement this viewGroup using RecyclerView instead of ScrollView where one of it s views type is the CardView but i got the exact same results as with the ScrollView

You can use this way either    Add this line to your recyclerView xml view            android nestedScrollingEnabled  false    try it  recyclerview will be smoothly scrolled with flexible height  hope this helped

For ScrollView  you could use fillViewport true and make layout height  match parent  as below and put recycler view inside    lt ScrollView     android fillViewport  true      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      android layout below    id llOptions  gt             lt android support v7 widget RecyclerView             android id    id rvList              android layout width  match parent              android layout height  wrap content                gt   lt  ScrollView gt    No further height adjustment needed through code

Calculating RecyclerView s height manually is not good  better is to use a custom LayoutManager    The reason for above issue is any view which has it s scroll ListView  GridView  RecyclerView  failed to calculate it s height when add as a child in another view has scroll  So overriding its onMeasure method will solve the issue   Please replace the default layout manager with the below   public class MyLinearLayoutManager extends android support v7 widget LinearLayoutManager    private static boolean canMakeInsetsDirty   true  private static Field insetsDirtyField   null   private static

This does the trick   recyclerView setNestedScrollingEnabled false

Sorry being late to the party  but it seems like there is another solution which works perfectly for the case you mentioned   If you use a recycler view inside a recycler view  it seems to work perfectly fine  I have personally tried and used it  and it seems to give no slowness and no jerkyness at all  Now I am not sure if this is a good practice or not  but nesting multiple recycler views   even nested scroll view slows down  But this seems to work nicely  Please give it a try  I am sure nesting is going to be perfectly fine with this

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

you can also override LinearLayoutManager to make recyclerview roll smoothly    Override     public boolean canScrollVertically            return false

If you put RecyclerView inside NestedScrollView and enable recyclerView setNestedScrollingEnabled false    scrolling will working well  However  there is a problem     RecyclerView don t recycle   For example  your RecyclerView  inside NestedScrollView or ScrollView  have 100 item  When Activity launch  100 item will create  onCreateViewHolder and onBindViewHolder of 100 item will called at same time   Example  for each item  you will load a large image from API    activity created -  100 image will load  It make starting Activity slowness and lagging  Possible solution   - Thinking about using RecyclerView with multiple type     However  if in your case  there are just a few item in RecyclerView and recycle or don t recycle don t affect performance a lot  you can use RecyclerView inside ScrollView for simple

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

RecyclerViews are fine to put in ScrollViews so long as they aren t scrolling themselves   In this case  it makes sense to make it a fixed height   The proper solution is to use wrap content on the RecyclerView height and then implement a custom LinearLayoutManager that can properly handle the wrapping   Copy this LinearLayoutManager into your project  https   github com serso android-linear-layout-manager blob master lib src main java org solovyev android views llm LinearLayoutManager java  Then wrap the RecyclerView    lt android support v7 widget RecyclerView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content   gt    And set it up like so       RecyclerView list    RecyclerView findViewById R id list       list setHasFixedSize true       list setLayoutManager new com example myapp LinearLayoutManager list getContext          list setAdapter new MyViewAdapter data      Edit  This can cause complications with scrolling because the RecyclerView can steal the ScrollView s touch events  My solution was just to ditch the RecyclerView in all and go with a LinearLayout  programmatically inflate subviews  and add them to the layout

If RecyclerView showing only one row inside ScrollView  You just need to set height of your row to android layout height  wrap content

First you should use NestedScrollView instead of ScrollView and put the RecyclerView inside NestedScrollView   Use Custom layout class to measure the height and width of screen   public class CustomLinearLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager    public CustomLinearLayoutManager Context context  int orientation  boolean reverseLayout        super context  orientation  reverseLayout      private int   mMeasuredDimension   new int 2     Override public void onMeasure RecyclerView Recycler recycler  RecyclerView State state                        int widthSpec  int heightSpec        final int widthMode   View MeasureSpec getMode widthSpec       final int heightMode   View MeasureSpec getMode heightSpec       final int widthSize   View MeasureSpec getSize widthSpec       final int heightSize   View MeasureSpec getSize heightSpec       int width   0      int height   0      for  int i   0  i  lt  getItemCount    i              if  getOrientation      HORIZONTAL                measureScrapChild recycler  i                      View MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec i  View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED                       heightSpec                      mMeasuredDimension                width   width   mMeasuredDimension 0               if  i    0                    height   mMeasuredDimension 1                           else               measureScrapChild recycler  i                      widthSpec                      View MeasureSpec makeMeasureSpec i  View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED                       mMeasuredDimension               height   height   mMeasuredDimension 1               if  i    0                    width   mMeasuredDimension 0                                     switch  widthMode            case View MeasureSpec EXACTLY              width   widthSize          case View MeasureSpec AT MOST          case View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED             switch  heightMode            case View MeasureSpec EXACTLY              height   heightSize          case View MeasureSpec AT MOST          case View MeasureSpec UNSPECIFIED             setMeasuredDimension width  height      private void measureScrapChild RecyclerView Recycler recycler  int position  int widthSpec                                 int heightSpec  int   measuredDimension        View view   recycler getViewForPosition position       recycler bindViewToPosition view  position       if  view    null            RecyclerView LayoutParams p    RecyclerView LayoutParams  view getLayoutParams            int childWidthSpec   ViewGroup getChildMeasureSpec widthSpec                  getPaddingLeft     getPaddingRight    p width           int childHeightSpec   ViewGroup getChildMeasureSpec heightSpec                  getPaddingTop     getPaddingBottom    p height           view measure childWidthSpec  childHeightSpec           measuredDimension 0    view getMeasuredWidth     p leftMargin   p rightMargin          measuredDimension 1    view getMeasuredHeight     p bottomMargin   p topMargin          recycler recycleView view               And implement below code in the activity fragment of RecyclerView    final CustomLinearLayoutManager layoutManager   new CustomLinearLayoutManager this  LinearLayoutManager VERTICAL  false        recyclerView setLayoutManager layoutManager       recyclerView setAdapter mAdapter        recyclerView setNestedScrollingEnabled false      Disables scrolling for RecyclerView  CustomLinearLayoutManager used instead of MyLinearLayoutManager     recyclerView setHasFixedSize false        recyclerView addOnScrollListener new RecyclerView OnScrollListener              Override         public void onScrolled RecyclerView recyclerView  int dx  int dy                super onScrolled recyclerView  dx  dy                int visibleItemCount   layoutManager getChildCount                int totalItemCount   layoutManager getItemCount                int lastVisibleItemPos   layoutManager findLastVisibleItemPosition                Log i  getChildCount   String valueOf visibleItemCount                Log i  getItemCount   String valueOf totalItemCount                Log i  lastVisibleItemPos   String valueOf lastVisibleItemPos                if   visibleItemCount   lastVisibleItemPos   gt   totalItemCount                    Log i  LOG    Last Item Reached

Although the recommendation that      you should never put a scrollable view inside another scrollable view   Is a sound advice  however if you set a fixed height on the recycler view it should work fine   If you know the height of the adapter item layout you could just calculate the height of the RecyclerView   int viewHeight   adapterItemSize   adapterData size    recyclerView getLayoutParams   height   viewHeight

Another approach to address the issue is to use ConstraintLayout inside ScrollView    lt ScrollView gt     lt ConstraintLayout gt   this is the only child of ScrollView       lt    Some Views    gt       lt RecyclerView gt   layout height wrap content       lt    Some Other Views    gt    But I would still stick to the androidx core widget NestedScrollView approach  proposed by Yang Peiyong

For those people who trying to do it just for design purposes - leave it  Redesign your app and leave only RecyclerView  It will be better solution than doing ANY hardcode

UPDATE  this answer is out dated now as there are widgets like NestedScrollView and RecyclerView that support nested scrolling   you should never put a scrollable view inside another scrollable view    i suggest you make your main layout recycler view and put your views as items of recycler view   take a look at this example it show how to use multiple views inside recycler view adapter  link to example

I know I am late it the game  but the issue still exists even after google has made fix on the android support v7 widget RecyclerView  The issue I get now is RecyclerView with layout height wrap content not taking height of all the items issue inside ScrollView that only happens on Marshmallow and Nougat   API 23  24  25  versions   UPDATE  Replacing ScrollView with android support v4 widget NestedScrollView works on all versions  I somehow missed testing accepted solution  Added this in my github project as demo    After trying different things  I have found workaround that fixes this issue   Here is my layout structure in a nutshell    lt ScrollView gt     lt LinearLayout gt   vertical - this is the only child of scrollview        lt SomeViews gt        lt RecyclerView gt   layout height wrap content        lt SomeOtherViews gt    The workaround is the wrap the RecyclerView with RelativeLayout  Don t ask me how I found this workaround                   lt RelativeLayout     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android descendantFocusability  blocksDescendants  gt        lt android support v7 widget RecyclerView         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  wrap content    gt    lt  RelativeLayout gt    Complete example is available on GitHub project - https   github com amardeshbd android-recycler-view-wrap-content  Here is a demo screencast showing the fix in action
