This is a sample android app which demonstrates RecyclerView
with layout_height=wrap_content not taking height of all the items issue inside ScrollView
that happens on Marshmallow, Nougat (+MR1) (API 23, 24 & 25) and how to work around it.
- UPDATE # 1: On Marshmallow (API 23) devices, the issue seems to happen only on
PORTRAIT
orientation,LANDSCAPE
works fine. On Nougat (Build #NPD90G
) the issue still exist on both orientation. - UPDATE # 2: Based on solution found on stackoverflow, replacing root
ScrollView
withandroid.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
also avoids this issue on Marshmallow+ devices. A new demo section has been added to showcase this. - UPDATE # 3: Updated Support Library version from
24.1.1
to24.2.0
, but the issue still exists. - UPDATE # 4: Updated Support Library version from
24.2.0
to24.2.1
, but the issue still exists. - UPDATE # 5: Updated Support Library version from
24.2.0
to25.0.0
, but the issue still exists. - UPDATE # 6: Updated Support Library version from
25.0.0
to25.1.0
, but the issue still exists.

There is nothing to see in the code. Take a look at following layout files for workaround.
- Layout without any workaround - fragment_recycler_view_without_fix.xml#L33 loaded in RecyclerViewWrapContentIssueDemoFragment.java
- Layout with
RelativeLayout
wrapper workaround applied - fragment_recycler_view_with_fix.xml#L34 loaded in RecyclerViewWrapContentFixDemoFragment.java - Layout using
NestedScrollView
as root view - fragment_recycler_view_with_nested_scrollview_fix.xml#L4 loaded in RecyclerViewNestedScrollviewFixDemoFragment.java
Here is basic skeleton of layout I have used
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout> (vertical - this is the only child of scrollview)
<SomeViews>
<RecyclerView> (layout_height=wrap_content)
<SomeOtherViews>
