Recyclerview Part Of Scrollview

I have a RecyclerView as the bottom view, along with some other views on top: I want to scroll the entire view (1), not just the RecyclerView (2). I have managed to get it to work

Solution 1:

I have tried with your example

Scrolling in the recyclerview isn't smooth, in the sense that when I lift up my finger, the scrolling stops. No accelerated scroll, or whatever you call it.

Even I noticed that. I think there are some restrictions when you use nested scrolling as it has to handle both scrolls.

When I remove items from the recyclerview, its height remains the same. Meaning I have empty space where the images once was.

The white space is because of the padding you have applied to the linear layout of recyclerview. Event though you remove all items from recyclerview the padding of parent linear layout remains same and so is the whitespace.

Solution 2:

use nestedScrollView

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