RecyclerView inside ScrollView is not working
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:
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout> (vertical - this is the only child of scrollview)
<SomeViews>
<RecyclerView> (layout_height=wrap_content)
<SomeOtherViews>
The workaround is the wrap the RecyclerView
with RelativeLayout
. Don't ask me how I found this workaround!!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
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:
use NestedScrollView
instead of ScrollView
Please go through NestedScrollView reference document for more information.
and add recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
to your RecyclerView
