android:layout_height="match_parent">

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

    <RelativeLayout

    <View
        android:id="@+id/separator"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:background="#e5e5e5" />

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

Answer 1

This is what working for me

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

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/rv_recycler_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Answer 2

Here is the code that I'm using to avoid scrolling issues:

mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.list);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getContext()));
mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager().setAutoMeasureEnabled(true);
mRecyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(false);

There is a simple and testing code u may check

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
   </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

I had to implement CoordinatorLayout with toolbar scrolling and it just took me all the day messing around this. I've got it working by removing NestedScrollView at all. So I'm just using RelativeLayout at the root.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/rv_nearby"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />

</RelativeLayout>

One solution to keep the recycling feature of the recyclerview and avoiding the recyclerview to load all your data is setting a fix height in the recyclerview itself. By doing this the recyclerview is limited only to load as much as its height can show the user thus recycling its element if ever you scroll to the bottom/top.

Answer 6

1) You need to use support library 23.2.0 (or) above

2) and RecyclerView height will be wrap_content.

3) recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false)

But by doing this the recycler pattern don't work. (i.e all the views will be loaded at once because wrap_content needs the height of complete RecyclerView so it will draw all child Views at once. No view will be recycled). Try not to use this pattern util unless it is really required. Try to use viewType and add all other views that needs to scroll to RecyclerView rather than using RecyclerView in Scrollview. The performance impact will be very high.

To make it simple "it just acts as LinearLayout with all the child views"
