RecyclerView does not scroll inside CoordinatorLayout with DrawerLayout and bottom sheet

Question

I have a layout containing Navigation drawer, toolbar and bottom sheet. The RecyclerView is also present in the layout which does not scroll.

Root layout is CoordinatorLayout which encapsulates -> i) DrawerLayout & ii) NestedScrollView (For bottom sheet behavior)

DrawerLayout encapsulates -> i) LinearLayout & ii) NavigationView

LinearLayout encapsulates -> i) Toolbar ii) ConstraintLayout

ConstraintLayout encapsulates -> i) ViewPager ii) TextView iii) RecyclerView (This does not scroll)

Below is my xml :

        </LinearLayout>

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

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

What I've tried :

Encapsulated ConstraintLayout inside NestedScrollView
Encapsulated RecyclerView inside NestedScrollView

Neither 1 nor 2 worked.

I'm new in Android so please bear with my naivety If this question involves any.

Of course it won't.

CoordinatorLayout should be a direct child of DrawerLayout. Also if you're using CoordinatorLayout and NestedScrollView, you may have to add AppBarLayout inside the CoordinatorLayout.

Example layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:context=".ui.MainActivity">

    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
            app:elevation="0dp">

            <com.google.android.material.appbar.CollapsingToolbarLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="250dp"
                android:overScrollMode="never"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"
                app:titleEnabled="false">

                <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
                    android:id="@+id/myToolbar"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                    app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
                    app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme" />

            </com.google.android.material.appbar.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

        </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>

        <!-- Your nestedScrollview here which should have this attribute 
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" /> -->

    </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_view_header"
        app:menu="@menu/main_drawer" />

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

Please read the documentations first. Also, nowadays you can use AndroidX namespace. You can migrate now.

Thanks for pointing out that CoordinatorLayout should be a direct child of DrawerLayout. Probably, this was the first right thing that I needed to do. However, setting the attribute app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" for the NestedScrollView was not what I wanted, as it was supposed to be the bottom sheet so the layout_behavior attribute had to be app:layout_behavior="android.support.design.widget.BottomSheetBehavior". Also, I didn't had to use AppBarLayout and the constraintLayout had to be encapsulated in another NestedScrollView. — shashank kushwaha, Jul 09 '20 at 18:02
By setting the attribute `app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"` to the `NestedScrollView`, I meant use this attribute for the content you're trying to scroll under the `AppBarLayout`. And also, this is the common way of achieving the scrolling behaviors by using `app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"` in the `NestedScrollView`, perhaps you should take some ideas from how it works with the `NestedScrollView` & the `CoordinatorLayout` — ʍѳђઽ૯ท, Jul 09 '20 at 18:07
