RecyclerView in scrollview cut last items

I have fragment with 2 RecyclerView.
I get some data from api and add it for RecyclerViews in ArrayLists, then notify view that data was changed. For some reason, the last element(s) of the RecyclerViews is getting cut-off. When i get 8 object - RVs show only 5 of them. On small screens even less. I am disable RVs scrolling, and want use one ScrollView for all fragment content.
This is the XML of the fragment:s

I try found solution in other question like that, but nothing helped me.
For examle, i tryed some solution from RecyclerView is cutting off the last item

Constraintlayout Vertical Bias not working in two views Android

I am using constraint layout with a vertical bias to fill view in recycler view. I successfully did that.

My recyclerview items showing me in reverse order because I want to make chat application. So I added reverseLayout and stackFromEnd true. So it look like this.
If my item is single my ui convert into like this by above xml code
Now I want to add edittext and button in bottom. Its not working vertical bias. Does any one know how to fix. Any suggestion to what can i use

UPDATE
After adding #MartinMarconcini answer it fixed my Scenario 2. I want to fix as Scenario 1 as well.

The idea is that your RV will handle its own item size and space by itself. You don't need to worry about this.
The Remainder of the space, will be used by ConstraintLayout.
So you need to pin the RV and the "Bottom Container" together. This would by default cause the CL to try to pull and balance layouts, so you have to tell the bottom container to be biased at the bottom.
In pseudo-XML:
<ConstraintLayout>
<RecyclerView
width=0dp
height=0dp
start/end = parent
TopToTop=parent
BottomToTopOf=BottomContainer
>
<BottomContainer>
width=0dp
height=wrap_content
TopToBottomOf=RecyclerView
BottomToBottomOf=parent
start/end = parent>
</ConstraintLayout>
Now this needs one more thing, because the RV would take all the space, you want to ensure the BottomContainer has more information about where it wants to be placed.
So you add:
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0"
to the Bottom Container.
This means, vertically, as "bottom" as you can. (0.0 would be the opposite).
The end result is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"

android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/bottomContainer"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/recylerview"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextContainer"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/button"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<Button

app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/editTextContainer"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Which looks like this:
UPDATE
If you add both
app:stackFromEnd="true"
app:reverseLayout="true"
It works the same way, except the item "0" is at the bottom, and the "last" item is at the top. Adding another item would add it at the top but the BottomContainer has no participation (or influence) over this:

Android UI - dynamic button alignment change

I have following xml
<ConstraintLayout>
<NestedScrollView>
<ConstraintLayout>
<RecycleView/>
</ConstraintLayout>
</NestedScrollView>
<Button BottomTo_BottomOf = parent/>
</ConstraintLayout>
When I load the screen that I want the button to be stick at the screen bottom.
I am loading some elements dynamically (based on user action) in the recycleview and once the recycleview has elements more then the screen size then I want the button alignment to be changed from screen bottom to the end of the content and visible once user scroll through all the contents

You need to add below tag to the button -
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"

Add these attribute to Button:
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
Add these attribute to NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/bottomButtonId" <--Id of bottom button-->

Place ImageView on top of button in ConstraintLayout

I'm facing issues with constraintlayout when placing ImageView or FrameLayout on top of a Button.
When i try to inflate a fragment on FrameLayout, Buttons that are part of activity are visible on top of fragment UI.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="button"/>
<FrameLayout
android:background="#color/blue"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

To place any view above another view you have to give proper constraint like below.
Give top and bottom constraint proper and also as I give all constraint(start,end,top,bottom) to FrameLayout it's height and width give to 0dp(you can't use height to match_parent otherwise it's cover whole screen and overlap button).
>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
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">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="button"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>
<FrameLayout
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/button"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

To set constraints of button and FrameLayout to,
Button:
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
FrameLayout :
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/button"

Your code looks ok but if you want to tell 1 view to be above another view in ConstraintLayout you can go to the design tab and move the higher above the lower view:
Example:
In the image, you can see that the button is placed below the frameLayout so he will be lower than the frameLayout (the frameLayout will be above the button)
Also, you were missing some constraints on your button :
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="button"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/frameLayout2" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
And if all that didn't help you check this thread, as #Xavier Rubio Jansana said, it may be because of elevation.

Try the code below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
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">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:text="button"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="638dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:background="#color/appGrey"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/button">
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Fragments does not resize when the keyboard opens

I have an EditText which listens to click events on an activity and launches a fragment using fragmentTransaction.add(); both the activity and the fragment have a ConstraintLayout as a root ViewGroup. The fragment layout is as follows (Some elements has been omitted for brevity):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/city_AutoCompleteTextView" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I tried adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in AndroidManifest and programmatically as of answers in some similar questions.

The problem is caused by some code I added to make the status bar completely transparent, which I found in this answer.
Adding android:fitsSystemWindows="true" to the fragment layout solved the problem.
