Recyclerview with fixed height wont scroll inside nested scroll view

I have a RecyclerView with a fixed height inside a NestedScrollView with a few other layouts inside it. The recycler view won't scroll, but it scrolls fine if I set its height to wrap_content.
I cannot make the RecyclerView use wrap_content because there is an issue with EndlessRecyclerViewScrollListener that it keeps loading data from the server and pushing it into my Adapter even if the user has not scrolled down at all.
Most are suggesting to set nested scrolling to false, but if I disable nested scrolling, the NestedScrollView does not allow me to scroll my RecyclerView. But if I leave nested scrolling enabled, the scroll view does not scroll unless I start touching from outside the RecyclerView.

What do I have to modify so that the RecyclerView is scrollable, but the whole NestedScrollView also scrolls along with it, so that if the user is scrolling back up (swiping from top to bottom), the RecyclerView will scroll along with the NestedScrollView, which will bring the layouts above RecyclerView.
To visualize:
The layout I'm trying to achieve is similar to that of facebook's. When you scroll down, the timeline will scroll down, and the search bar with the messenger icon at the top is also scrolled so that it is hidden when scrolling down. When you scroll up, the timeline is being scrolled back up, and showing the search bar again.

I decided to do it differently because I wasn't able to solve it with this method. Instead, I used a CollapsingToolbar and put the other layouts inside it, then removing its background so it does not look like a toolbar, and it seamlessly does what I wanted to, just with a different implementation.

I want to "scroll" my PDF-Viewer and Listview, together, but it does not work, I can only scroll my listView and the pdf-view separately

You can use android:isScrollContainer="true". It will indicate that the view is one of the set of scrollable containers in its window. For more read this https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View

Because list view has its own scroll view you can not add it inside another scroll view so you must use them isolated

Dynamically adding RecyclerViews to a LinearLayout does not increase the height

I am trying to add many RecyclerViews dynamically to a LinearLayout depending upon the x coordinate of a 2-D array (Set). All the children of each view are not visible (it appears on scrolling the view).
In short, making the RecyclerView's height to WRAP_CONTENT is not stretching the height of RecyclerView.
I want all the children of all the RecyclerViews to be visible and not let any RecyclerView to be scrollable.
Following is the table_layout which I add dynamically:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Engine"
android:padding="6dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/tv_label"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:background="#color/light_gray"
android:textSize="#dimen/bid_report_label_text_size"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/recycler_view"/>
</LinearLayout>
Following is the activity_main layout of activity:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_bid_now"
android:id="#+id/scrollView">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/linear_layout_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="210dp"
android:id="#+id/bike_image"
android:onClick="startImageSlideshow"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/linear_layout_details"
android:orientation="vertical"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
I add table_layout to activity_main dynamically.
Please tell me how to make the RecyclerView WRAP_CONTENT?

The problem was with ScrollView. Changing it to NestedScrollView solved the problem.

RecyclerView with table like layout and Sticky header -- Originally tried NestedScrollView with no success

I am building a daily schedule like for students. This schedule is in a fragment. I need a sticky header with seven day labels and then the items need to scroll underneath, all at once. In addition I need the entire view to scroll horizontally.
Currently I have a HorizontalScrollView, some nested LinearLayouts, and a NestedScrollView. There are 7 RecyclerViews that are children of the NestedScrollView, one for each day of the week. This is so that I can call setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) on each RecyclerView so they scroll together. Currently the result is that the NestedScrollView clips the RecyclerViews to 1 item and no scrolling is possible. If I remove the NestedScrollView The RecyclerViews all scroll individually which is not what I want.

The only thing of note in the fragment class is that I call setNestedScrolledEnabled(false) after populating and attaching all of the adapters.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

The solution in this case is that I was thinking about the requirements too rigidly. I changed my layout to consists of a The header linear layout, a scrollview, and a horizontal recycler view, with each day being an item. In the adapter the item layout is simply a LinearLayout that I programmatically add the class views to(as there is a finite number of classes per day). Scrolling works in both directions. I will retitle the question so hopefully someone can find this working towards similar requirements.

android:layout_marginRight="8dp"

Then programmatically add views to the LinearLayout. My views for each class were complex so I created a custom view based on the layout I needed for each class and then was able to just define a new instance in a for loop and add it to the LinearLayout.

Recyclerview not housing all my content but restrict itself to screen height

I am having issues trying to make my recyclerview house my whole text when i populate them inside but it seems to focus on the screen height of the phone in use and therefore some of my text are lost. How can i make it house them all.

RecyclerBox layout is like these
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/fragmentContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:focusable="true">

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/recycleNView">
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
</LinearLayout>

The root LinearLayout in the view holder has
android:layout_height="match_parent"
This will make each row match the RecyclerView's height regardless of its content.
Change it to wrap_content and it should work just fine.
