I've placed an edit text inside a NestedScrollView so that the edit text can be expanded .But the problem is this NestedScrollView is placed inside a BottomSheet that's why the scrollview is not scrolled.
I wonder how to make the NestedScrollView scroll?
My Code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

After a lot of research I finally solved my issue by placing the scrollview inside a trasperent linear layout as we can't set maxHeight of any view in xml and now it's scrolling .
Ref :https://stackoverflow.com/a/13811461/8953835
try this solution :
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_form"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- elements-->
<!-- elements-->
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

The red portion is wrap content and can be expanded, depends on how much data it contains. The green part/view always sticks between red and white. The screen is vertically scrollable.
THE attached XML code having scrollview and layout weight but it divides the screen into two parts from the middle, which is not as per the requirement.
Please suggest how to achieve this.

You can use constraint layout inside a nestedScrollView like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView 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">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/redPortion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" //Red Portion
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
android:id="#+id/green_sticky_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/redPortion" //Green Sticky View
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/redPortion"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/whitePortion"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" //White Portion
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/redPortion"
/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
Use any layout you want for your red, white and green views.
I hope This helps.

All that I have done is to put the id that you will call later as your bottom sheet in the root element (Which by the way could be a ConstraintLayout if you want), as you can notice, the parent of this root element will be automatically a CoodinatorLayout.
The second thing is to put this element with a height wrap_content
The layout behaviour should be in the root element, too. app:layout_behavior="#string/bottom_sheet_behavior"
I'm using a ConstraintLayout for my view. Inside it I placed a ViewPager and one of the views that the adapter contains is a RecyclerView.
When I try to put just images, there's a missing height where I can't scroll anymore. That height looks to be the same than the space I'm using on the top (Toolbar + TabLayout).
When using RelativeLayout instead of ConstraintLayout it works
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:id="#+id/homeToolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/toolbarColor">

This is what I see (see the last Darth Vader)
Solved by adding
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
To the ViewPager
I created a Basic-Activity and have the activity_main which includes the content_main. But at the Design-Screen I can see, that the included content_main starts below the toolbar and ends behind the navigationbar. I think that the Included layout is as high as the full screen and not as high as the space between toolbar and the end of screen. What can I do?

The Layout named "layout_bootom_main" is not shown, because it is layout_alignParentBottom and the parents end is out of screen.
You can add scroll view in content_main as parent view for both linear layouts.
<RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!-- Add your linear layouts here -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLaout>
And while designing in android studio try to preview the design with device having more hight
You could wrap everything inside a scrollview like this:
<RelativeLayout
......>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<-! All the layout children in here-->
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLaout>

and in my code I have
mListView.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.empty_list));
in order to display a message and an "add" button when the list is empty. My problem is that when the list is empty the BottomNavigationView is hidden and the user cannot navigate to another activity.
One possible solution I can think of is to add another BottomNavigationView with the same items in the empty layout but that seems ugly.
Any other solution?
Set empty_list height to wrap_content
Your ListView and it's empty view should have the same layout attributes if you want them to occupy the same space. In your case, they should both be
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
Also, you should put the FloatingActionButton outside of the LinearLayout, or else it will affect the size of your ListView/empty view. It is also meant to be a direct child of CoordinatorLayout, otherwise its default behaviors do not work.
The following layout worked fine. The basic idea is that coordinateLayout contains listview and FloatingActionButton and empty view. CoordinateLayout is contained in an outer vertical LinearLayout which also contains the header textview and the BottomNavigationView
