Scrollview Not working for Cardview

Question

I have been working on a app, but stuck in a xml layout issue, the scrollview I usually use is not working when I am using the Card views inside a linear layout, I looked up in google and found out about NestedScrollview, it still wont work, app force closes, could some one tell me what exactly am I doing wrong, and correct. It will be very helpful.

Answer 1

Put LinearLayout after NestedScrollView like below if you don't want to try RecyclerView:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
        </LinearLayout>

Answer 2

You have multiple child views inside NestedScrollView, ScrollView or NestedScrollView can host only one child.

To fix your layout, put all the stuffs into any ViewGroup such as LinearLayout / RelativeLayout and then arrange your views accordingly

Answer 3

You should implement it like this :

    <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:id="@+id/activity_Recipe_detail_scrollview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
          <LinearLayout
               android:layout_width="match_parent"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:orientation="vertical">
               // do what ever you need here
        </LinearLayout>
    </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

hope this help
