NestedScrollView not scrolling due to Editext

Question

I ran into a problem when I have the following structure in a NestedScrollView.

Here is my xml file:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/app_base_color" app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" android:id="@+id/nested_view_editprofile" android:focusable="true" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@color/app_base_color"

android:hint="Email" android:textColor="@color/cement_grey" android:inputType="textEmailAddress|textImeMultiLine" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/mail" android:drawablePadding="10dp" android:background="@drawable/profile_pallets_boxes_background" android:enabled="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" /> <com.customview.CustomEditext android:id="@+id/edtxEdtPrflPhone"

android:drawableLeft="@drawable/phone" android:drawablePadding="10dp" android:background="@drawable/profile_pallets_boxes_background" android:enabled="false" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" /> </LinearLayout> </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView> 

Now because of Editext, I can’t scroll my NestedScrollView for this, I use the solution below and work fine, but it prevents Softkeyboard from opening for any Editext.

 public class CustomEditext extends EditText { public CustomEditext(Context _Context){ super(_Context); } public CustomEditext(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){ super(context,attrs); } public CustomEditext(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) { super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { super.onTouchEvent(event); return false; } }

I had a similar problem. The design support library is a great library, but at the moment it’s a bit buggy. Here you can find some problems regarding NestedScrollView: Problems with NestedScrollView . We will have to wait for the next updates until we have a fully working library.

Until then, you can try several alternative libraries, for example: ObservableScrollView .

It is quite simple to use:

1 - add the dependency to the build.gradle file:

 repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { // Other dependencies are omitted compile 'com.github.ksoichiro:android-observablescrollview:1.5.0' } 

2 - In the layout, declare ObservableScrollView as:

 <com.github.ksoichiro.android.observablescrollview.ObservableListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/list" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> 

3 - Implement ObservableScrollViewCallbacks in your activity:

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ObservableScrollViewCallbacks { 

4 - Implement the necessary methods and play with them:

 @Override public void onScrollChanged(int scrollY, boolean firstScroll, boolean dragging) { } @Override public void onDownMotionEvent() { } @Override public void onUpOrCancelMotionEvent(ScrollState scrollState) { } 

5 - An example of showing / hiding an ActionBar when scrolling through a list:

 @Override public void onUpOrCancelMotionEvent(ScrollState scrollState) { ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar(); if (scrollState == ScrollState.UP) { if (ab.isShowing()) { ab.hide(); } } else if (scrollState == ScrollState.DOWN) { if (!ab.isShowing()) { ab.show(); } } } 

Hope this helps.

adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to the activity in the manifest file solved my problem.
