The item position in the RecyclerView is not saved

I use the mode adjustResize, RecyclerView and EditText, when the keyboard appears, the window shrinks but the visible elements in the RecyclerView go down.
The structure of the layout looks like this:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView />
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"/>
</LinearLayout>
I set setStackFromEnd to true, in LinearManager but it does not help.
Versions of libraries: 25.3.0
How can this unpleasant problem be avoided?

instead of using linear layout on top use Relative layout like following...
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/bottom_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:orientation="vertical"/>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/bottom_view"/>
</RelativeLayout>

NestedScrollView could not scroll with match_parent height child

I implement NonSwipeableViewPager with a fragment has NestedScrollView like this, what I expect is that the scrollview can scroll up and show 2 textviews:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="#+id/header"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
layout="#layout/header" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_up" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text 1" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Text 2" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
But it could not scroll, I tried many ways but still did not get any solution

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
This linearlayout should have android:layout_height="wrap_content".
Reason for that is that if the scrollview's child is the same size as the scrollview itself (both match_parent for height) it means that there is nothing to scroll through, since they are of same size and the scrollview will only be as high as the screen.
If the linearlayout has a height of wrap_content then the height is not related to the height of the screen and the scrollview will be able to scroll through it.
Just remember that a scrollview can only have 1 direct child, and that child needs android:layout_height="wrap_content"

In my case app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" this is working only if some one face problem will be try it and may be solve your problem too. you should add also android:fillViewport="true" but without this my code working.
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:background="#drawable/subscription_background"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

For me it worked when i added "android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"" for last child in androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView

if you have used netedscrollview as follow you have to use
android:scrollbars="vertical"
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/toolbar_updateUserDetails"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

You have to calculate your other child because last child binding on nestedScrollView. You add margin like child height. It is working.

How can I add horizontal, vertical RecyclerView inside a vertical scroll

I want to add vertical as well as horizontal RecyclerViews inside a vertical scrollview.
Is it possible to have multiple recycler views inside vertcal scrollview
what control I need to use.
Also RecyclerView nested in one ScrollView is not good practice so can anybody tell me whats right way to do it can I add RecyclerView inside another RecyclerView or I need to use horizontal and vertical scrollview only to achieve this.

You can do something like this for getting two RecyclerView nested in one ScrollView which is by the way not recommended.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:padding="8dp"
android:background="#drawable/old_map"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:scrollbars="none">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="600dp">
<view
android:scrollbarSize="6dp"
android:id="#+id/recent_post"
class="android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="400dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
<view
android:scrollbarSize="6dp"
android:id="#+id/recent_post"
class="android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="400dp"
android:scrollbars="horizontal" />
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

I don't namely know what kind of scrolling do you want but it is possible to use both scrolls at the same time:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="#+id/HorizontalScrollView02"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- HERE YOUR CODE-->
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

scrollview not working if inside layout has margin

I'm having weird issues with ScrollView that contains a relativeLayout with topMargin
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/cp_editor_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:layout_marginTop="270dp"
>
...
This code example does not work. the scrolling stops after around 20px. If i'm removing the margin_top attribute then the scrolling works as expected.
Thanks for your help

I do not understand the issue with the topMargin stopping the scrolling. However, to achieve the desired margin and maintain the scrolling functionality i can think of two solutions:
1) add an extraneous View that has the same height as the margin you want, and put it above your Relative Layout (cp_editor_layout). It would look like this:
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="270dp" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/cp_editor_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white" >
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
2) give the margin top margin to your scroll view since that space is unnecessary to have in the scroll anyway. If your going for some type of overscroll you need to subclass the ScrollView.
Hope this helps you somehow :)

How do you make a LinearLayout scrollable?

I have lot of items on the screen and I need to use the scrollbar so the user can scroll down. However, the scroll is either not visible or it's not working. How is it possible to add a scrollbar to a LinearLayout?

Wrap the linear layout with a <ScrollView>
See here for an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Content here -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Note: fill_parent is deprecated and renamed to match_parent in API Level 8
and higher.

<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

You need to wrap your linear layout with a scroll view
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

This can be done using the tag <ScrollView>. For ScrollView, one thing you have to remind that, ScrollView must have a single child.
If you want your full layout to be scrollable then add <ScrollView> at the top. Check the example given below.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Content here -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
But if you want some part of your layout to be scrollable then add <ScrollView> within that part. Check the example given below.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="400dp">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Content here -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Here is how I did it by trial and error.
ScrollView - (the outer wrapper).
LinearLayout (child-1).
LinearLayout (child-1a).
LinearLayout (child-1b).
Since ScrollView can have only one child, that child is a linear layout. Then all the other layout types occur in the first linear layout. I haven't tried to include a relative layout yet, but they drive me nuts so I will wait until my sanity returns.

you need to use the following attribute and enclose it within the linear layout
<LinearLayout ...>
<scrollView ...>
</scrollView>
</LinearLayout>

You need to place ScrollView as the first child of Layout file and now put your linearlayout inside it. Now, android will decide on the basis of content and device size available whether to show a scrollable or not.
Make sure linearlayout has no sibling because ScrollView can not have more than one child.

<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"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<---------Content Here --------------->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Whenever you wanted to make a layout scrollable, you can use <ScrollView> With a layout or component in it.

You can add an atrribute in linearLayout : android:scrollbars="vertical"
