NestedScrollView and WebView height issue

Question

I use new android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView and I faced with issue.

Here is my layout:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="250dp">

    <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"
            app:layout_collapseParallaxMultiplier="0.7">

             <!-- some views inside -->

        </RelativeLayout>

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
            app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
            />

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

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

    <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    >

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

I need to load html inside textView, so I make:

content.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlString));

And it looks strange. My textview placed at the bottom of screen.

After I swipe on the text it starts to look normal.

And I think textview is not only view with these issue. I tried use webview, but it even does not show content (I think due to incorrect height computation). So I need webview or textview to correct work with NestedScrollView.

P.S. If I set textview height in dp then text looks correctly, but I need wrap_content for height.

Finally I need to use WebView. Alex Facciorusso answer partly works, but I faced with another issue. When WebView content has some specific height then I can see part of the content, but I can't scroll down. Example:

I've found a workaround:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_content"
    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:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:id="@+id/nestedScrollView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:minHeight="300dp">

            <WebView
                android:id="@+id/webview"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />
        </FrameLayout>

    </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="256dp"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
            android:id="@+id/collapsingToolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:expandedTitleMarginEnd="64dp"
            app:expandedTitleMarginStart="48dp"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />
        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I added a minHeight of 500dp to NestedScrollView, and now the WebView is fitting all the height of the layout, and the collapsing toolbar is working.

UPDATED: wrapped WebView with FrameLayout and added minHeight to it.

This is a bug, update you sdk, replace "compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'" with "compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'" in build.gradle. That's work for me.

Answer 3

wrapped WebView with FrameLayout and added View(android:layout_height="800dp") as WebView'minHeight to it.

Answer 4

A simple workaround will be to add an empty View with 500dp height below your TextView inside of your LinearLayout. That View shall push up your TextView to the right position.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

<!-- Your scrolling content -->

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

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="@string/random_text" />

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="500dp"/>


</LinearLayout>

Answer 5

Read a lot of posts, and custom implementation of WebView as well, but I was keen about experimenting with attributes and found out what works for me, which is this:

For NestedScrollView use attribute

android:fillViewport="true"

and for the underlying WebView make sure you are using height as wrap

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</WebView>

so as a pseudo code you have

<NestedScrollView> // height=  match_parent

 <Parent_layout>//could be Realtive/Linear with height= match_parent
   <Some_View></Some_View>
   <Some_View></Some_View>

   <WebView></WebView> // height=  wrap_content
 </Parent_layout>

</NestedScrollView>

Answer 6

adding android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical" in NestedScrollView will solve your issue

 <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:padding="24dp" />

    </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
