Getting varying layout width when provided fixed percentage weight

I am seeing varying layout weights though i have specified a fixed layout weight.
From the below code you can see that statusLinearLayout is set with layout_weight to 0.2 and the remaining space by other layout.
I am using the below layout for a Recycler item.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:id="#+id/mainLinearLayout">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:id="#+id/statusLinearLayout">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/statusTextView" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="0.8">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/pNameTextView" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/hNameTextView" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/sTypeTextView" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="#+id/dateTextView" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_below="#+id/mainLinearLayout"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Below is the UI what i am getting in emulator:
How to my statusLinearLayout to have a fixed length than variable lengths?

Try this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/statusLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/statusTextView"
android:text="nilesh"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"

No scrolling for RecyclerView android Lollipop 5.x

Struggling with RecyclerVivew for Android 5.X ( Lollipop ), I have designed simple layout as:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="4">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.1"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditStartDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/to" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditEndDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.2"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditDepartmentName"
style="#style/TextviewPrimaryMedium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:gravity="center"
android:lines="1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvSubItem"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.2">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditSubmitDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5">
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/chkbAuditStatus"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/check_box"
android:button="#android:color/transparent"
android:clickable="false"
android:gravity="end" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray" />
</LinearLayout>
And the custom RecyclerView.Adapter is attached to it, with item layout as:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="4">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.1"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditStartDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/to" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditEndDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.2"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditDepartmentName"
style="#style/TextviewPrimaryMedium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:gravity="center"
android:lines="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvSubItem"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.2">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvAuditSubmitDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5">
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/chkbAuditStatus"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/check_box"
android:button="#android:color/transparent"
android:clickable="false"
android:gravity="end" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray" />
</LinearLayout>
Now issue with this setup is, the setup is working fine in all the android versions except 5.X as result no scrolling to RecyclerView. Also it is not the only case where no scrolling is observer but the no scrolling is also observed in other Views like Spinner with different observation. In case of Spinners the dropdown List is shown but the selected item is not being reflected on UI.
All the view are inflated within Fragment.

Just try to implement this
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I have solved the issue by updating the support library to com.android.support:design:25.2.0. Also don't know the reason behind this and what exactly does it make difference. If any one have found any reason please let all know. It will be helpful. Thank you.

Each view take parent event first if your view pager is swipe horizonatly for change the page tab than you can not use horizonatl scroll in child fragment . It is not write practice you can arrange your page content as vertical and use vertical scroll view.
Or second option you will have to disable swipe event for view pager and only tab click is uesd to change page than you can use horizontal scroll view.

Your problem can be solved using an relative layout that wraps the view where you want the LoadingView to be on top of, ex:
<RelativeLayout>
<com.github.jlmd.animatedcircleloadingview.AnimatedCircleLoadingView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/circle_loading_view"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
app:mainColor="#color/primaryColor"
app:secondaryColor="#color/primaryColorDark"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/circle_loading_view">
//the view on top of witch the loading bar should be
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Nevermind the harcoded strings, they're for dummy purposes.
The problem is that anything that I write between the two comments ("starting here" to "to here") is not showing up.
I've tried increasing the height of the layout but it doesn't work.
Any help, please?

The problem is that you have two LinearLayouts both having android:layout_height="match_parent", so that the first one takes all the place.
You should set android:layout_height either to a "wrap_content" or to a fixed value.

It looks like you have the non-appearing LinearLayout on the same level of the hierarchy as another LinearLayout. Both are set to match_parent and the first one is consuming the view area.
Try setting them to either fill_parent or wrap_content.
