Recyclerview not scrolling inside Nested ScrollView

Question

I have Recyclerview which is under Coordinatorlayout > NestedScrollview > ViewPager and ViewPager has 3 fragment, one has image gallery which is working with the help of Recyclerview. Whenever i tried to scroll up or down it doesn't scroll at all. I have already set photosRecycler.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false); and as soon as i remove this line i am getting scroll working only down side and when i tried to move back up it move up with parent Nestedscrollview.

My layout manager is also showing StaggeredGrid as Grid i need to get this kind of layout

Here is my parent layout for Nestedscrollview

        android:scrollbars="vertical">

    </androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView>
</RelativeLayout>

I am facing 2 issue with this code

1. Recyclerview not working in nestedscrollview.
2. StaggeredGridLayoutManager is showing images like GridLayoutManager

Please help me to resolve these issue.Thanks

Answer 1

You need NestedScrollableHost to scroll in RecyclerView

Works for me with following layout tree

activity.xml

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".view.MainActivity">

    <androidx.viewpager2.widget.ViewPager2
        android:id="@+id/vp_views"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

fragment.xml

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:constraint="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true">

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        ...

        <com.anatoli.thebattleofcards.fabric.NestedScrollableHost
            android:id="@+id/rv_items_host"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            constraint:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            constraint:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            constraint:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

            <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                android:id="@+id/rv_items"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal"      <!-- change orientation if needs -->
                android:paddingStart="@dimen/layout_padding_small"
                android:paddingEnd="@dimen/layout_padding_small"
                app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager" />

        </com.anatoli.thebattleofcards.fabric.NestedScrollableHost>

        ...

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

</ScrollView>
