}

How can I achieve something like this?
-SmartNestedScrollView
----Reletive/Linear/ConstrinedLayout
--------View
--------RecyclerView

when I try to implement such a layout, only recycler view is scrollable. I want to scroll the view and recycler view as whole

I'm have the same issue @ruthwikwarrier

Hey there!
Make sure that RecyclerView is keeping it's height as wrap_content and don't constraint it to the bottom of the parent container.
If you need more details, please let me know and I'll share my latest layout with the same issue (Scrollable RecyclerView only)

I have the layout like @ruthwikwarrier

-SmartNestedScrollView
----LinearLayout
--------LinearLayout
--------RecyclerView

The RecyclerView already has the height as wrap_content

@danaimset
It would be nice if you share the layout. I'm also facing the issue like the others.

This one works for me:

If you're not using paging library then probably you don't need SmartNestedScrollView actually

Firstly, thanks for answering ;)
But I don't see how the layout would prevent from loading all items at once since it uses the (normal) NestedScrollView even with Paging ...

Well, while you're using RecyclerView inside another scrollable container you should firstly double check if you're able to put all page content inside single RecyclerView, like headers or so.
Epoxy provides great implementations that may help you.
Share your layout to have a chance to try it.

Sorry, The code doesn't work for me. Only the recyclerview is scrollable.
I paste my layout in here : https://pastebin.com/Q5xyiaWg

It looks like:

LinearLayout
    SmartNestedScrollView
        some view...
        RecyclerView
    EditText

Thank you for your time

Its late reply but it seems that
nestedScrollingEnabled = true for Recyclers
is missing in your recycler view

It seems impossible to make it working without multiple scroll delegates. While recycler view will not reach the top of the scrollable parent it should be scrolled by using scrollview. As soon as RecyclerView is at the top of sv: RecyclerView scroll take a place.
But for now I'm using Epoxy by AirBnb

Here is another approach, wich will also allow horizontal RecyclerViews and only does its magic for vertical RecyclerViews:

import android.content.Context
import android.util.AttributeSet
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import androidx.core.view.forEach
import androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView

open class SmartNestedScrollView @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) : NestedScrollView(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {

    override fun measureChildWithMargins(child: View, parentWidthMeasureSpec: Int, widthUsed: Int, parentHeightMeasureSpec: Int, heightUsed: Int) {
        if (findNestedRecyclerView(child) != null) {
            val lp = child.layoutParams as MarginLayoutParams
            val childHeightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
                lp.topMargin + lp.bottomMargin, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST
            )
            child.measure(parentWidthMeasureSpec, childHeightMeasureSpec)
        } else {
            super.measureChildWithMargins(child, parentWidthMeasureSpec, widthUsed, parentHeightMeasureSpec, heightUsed)
        }
    }

    private fun findNestedRecyclerView(view: View): RecyclerView? {
        if (view is RecyclerView) {
            val vertical = (view.layoutManager as? LinearLayoutManager)?.orientation == LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL
            if (vertical) return view
        }

        if (view is ViewGroup) {
            view.forEach { child ->
                val rv = findNestedRecyclerView(child)
                if (rv != null) return rv
            }
        }

        return null
    }
}

Cool one. works fine.

This is my layout, I still face the same problem of infinite loading
