How to make SwipeRefreshLayout wrap_content?

How to make SwipeRefreshLayout wrap_content?
Here is my layout
mydialog_fragmet.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
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="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/contentLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/appBackgroundColorLight"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:scrollbarSize="2dp"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#color/colorAccent"
/>
<include layout="#layout/view_add_place_button"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
In result LinearLayout id/contentLayout becomes match_parent. Here is screenshot :
But when I use the layout without SwipeRefreshLayout content is wrap_content:
mydialog_fragmet.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
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="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/appBlue"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/placesRecyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:scrollbarSize="2dp"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#color/colorAccent"
app:maxHeight="300dp"
/>
<include layout="#layout/view_add_place_button"/>
</LinearLayout>
Here is right result:

The solution for this specific behavior is to wrap the view in a parent layout, using a specific dp is only recommended if you want it on that size
<LinearLayout
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"
android:background="#color/appBackgroundColorLight"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/contentLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/appBackgroundColorLight"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:scrollbarSize="2dp"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#color/colorAccent"
/>
<include layout="#layout/view_add_place_button"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

where can I add include in my xml file?

I'm trying to add a toolbar in my xml files.
So I made toolbar.xml and I need to include it in upload.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_upload"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.sk.mf.Upload"
android:background="#fff">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageToUpload"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="150dp" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etUploadName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bUploadImage"
android:text="Upload Image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
the problem is, anywhere I place it I had error like:
scrollview can host only one direct child (inside scrollview)
multiple root tags (after scrollview)
...
my question here is, where and how can I put the code below in the xml above?
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include android:id="#+id/toolbar" layout="#layout/toolbar"></include>
</RelativeLayout>

try this : wrap your layout in LinearLayout and the toolbar tag
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar"></include>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_upload"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:padding="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.sk.mf.Upload">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageToUpload"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etUploadName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bUploadImage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Upload Image" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

now the textview above dont show up,i have to scroll a bit down to see the textview,also i am using toolbar which expands and contacts in coordinator layout due to this
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
i want to make sure textview is visible on start without scrolling a bit to see it

Set android:focusableInTouchMode="true" to your recycler view's parent layout i.e your relative layout.
Check this post.

Switching to ConstraintLayout was my solution

how to make textview not scroll

You have the TextView inside the NestedScrollView. So your TextView scrolls because of that parent view. Something like that would work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:textColor="#43a047"
android:typeface="serif"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="#string/app"
android:gravity="center"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:divider="#color/colorAccent"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

The RecyclerView itself scrollable, so just remove the NestedScrollView
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:textColor="#43a047"
android:typeface="serif"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="#string/app"
android:gravity="center"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/recyclerview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:divider="#color/colorAccent"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />

Android HorizontalScrollView nesting HorizontalScrollView

I want to have a HorizontalScrollView containing a HorizontalScrollView.
This is my current Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.erik.playground.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World!"/>
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true"
android:layout_marginTop="40dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_height="20dp"
app:cardElevation="9dp"
android:layout_width="500dp"/>
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_height="20dp"
app:cardElevation="9dp"
android:layout_width="600dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
Right now the inner HorizontalScrollView does not scroll and only the outer one scrolls.
Is there a possibility to make that work?
