Android Layout: Horizontal Recyclerview inside a Vertical Recyclerview inside a Viewpager with Scroll Behaviors
Solution 1
Tested solution:
All you need is to call mInnerRecycler.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
on your inner RecyclerView
s
Explanation:
RecyclerView
has support for nested scrolling introduced in API 21
through implementing the NestedScrollingChild
interface. This is a valuable feature when you have a scrolling view inside another one that scrolls in the same direction and you want to scroll the inner View
only when focused.
In any case, RecyclerView
by default calls RecyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);
on itself when initializing. Now, back to the problem, since both of your RecyclerView
s are within the same ViewPager
that has the AppBarBehavior
, the CoordinateLayout
has to decide which scroll to respond to when you scroll from your inner RecyclerView
; when your inner RecyclerView
's nested scrolling is enabled, it gets the scrolling focus and the CoordinateLayout
will choose to respond to its scrolling over the outer RecyclerView
's scrolling. The thing is that, since your inner RecyclerView
s don't scroll vertically, there is no vertical scroll change (from the CoordinateLayout
's point of view), and if there is no change, the AppBarLayout
doesn't change either.
In your case, because your inner RecyclerView
s are scrolling in a different direction, you can disable it, thus causing the CoordinateLayout
to disregard its scrolling and respond to the outer RecyclerView
's scrolling.
Notice:
The xml attribute android:nestedScrollingEnabled="boolean"
is not intended for use with the RecyclerView
, and an attempt to use android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false"
will result in a java.lang.NullPointerException
so, at least for now, you will have to do it in code.
Solution 2
if any one still looking , try this :
private val Y_BUFFER = 10
private var preX = 0f
private var preY = 0f
mView.rv.addOnItemTouchListener(object : RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {
override fun onTouchEvent(p0: RecyclerView, p1: MotionEvent) {
}
override fun onInterceptTouchEvent(rv: RecyclerView, e: MotionEvent): Boolean {
when (e.action) {
MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN -> rv.parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)
MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE -> {
if (Math.abs(e.x - preX) > Math.abs(e.y - preY)) {
rv.parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)
} else if (Math.abs(e.y - preY) > Y_BUFFER) {
rv.parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false)
}
}
}
preX = e.x
preY = e.y
return false
}
override fun onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(p0: Boolean) {
}
})
it checks if currently scrolling horizontal then don't allow parent to handel event
Solution 3
I am a bit late but this will defintly work for others facing the same problem
mRecyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {
int action = e.getAction();
// Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"HERE",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
switch (action) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
rv.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
break;
}
return false;
}
Solution 4
Tested solution, use a custom NestedScrollView()
.
Code:
public class CustomNestedScrollView extends NestedScrollView {
public CustomNestedScrollView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
// Explicitly call computeScroll() to make the Scroller compute itself
computeScroll();
}
return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
}
}
Solution 5
try
public OuterRecyclerViewAdapter(List<Item> items) {
//Constructor stuff
viewPool = new RecyclerView.RecycledViewPool();
}
@Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
//Create viewHolder etc
holder.innerRecyclerView.setRecycledViewPool(viewPool);
}
inner recylerview will use the same viewpool and it'll be smoother

I started as a really novice android developer. Like as in I just started reading a book. But I have learnt a lot now and what an experience it has been. Lately, I have already been really interested in using Zipline for Algorithmic Trading. So I started a blog on this topic, you can find it here: https://financialzipline.wordpress.com I have also developed a fully-fledged android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bekwaai&hl=en

This is the app I'm trying to build with all the elements mapped out below:
Everything works, however, I want the inner horizontal recyclerview not to capture any of the vertical scrolls. All vertical scrolls must go towards the outer vertical recyclerview, not the horizontal one, so that the vertical scroll would allow for the toolbar to exit out of view according to it's scrollFlag.
When I put my finger on the "StrawBerry Plant" part of the recyclerview and scroll up, it scroll out the toolbar:
If I put my finger on the horizontal scrollview and scroll up, it does not scroll out the toolbar at all.
The following is my xml layout code so far.
The Activity xml layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <FrameLayout 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:id="@+id/fragment_container" android:clipChildren="false"> <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="@+id/container" > <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:id="@+id/appBarLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"> </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar> <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" style="@style/CustomTabLayout" /> </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/viewPager" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" /> </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout> </FrameLayout>
The "Fruits" fragment xml layout (which is the code for the fragment - the fragment is labeled in the above picture):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <ProgressBar android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/progressBar" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:indeterminate="true"/> <!-- <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView--> <com.example.simon.customshapes.VerticallyScrollRecyclerView android:id="@+id/main_recyclerview" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> </RelativeLayout>
I have used a custom class called VerticallyScrollRecyclerView which follows google example of handling touch events in a viewgroup. Its aim is to intercept and consume all the vertical scroll events so that it will scroll in / out the toolbar: http://developer.android.com/training/gestures/viewgroup.html
The code for VerticallyScrollRecyclerView is below:
public class VerticallyScrollRecyclerView extends RecyclerView { public VerticallyScrollRecyclerView(Context context) { super(context); } public VerticallyScrollRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } public VerticallyScrollRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { super(context, attrs, defStyle); } ViewConfiguration vc = ViewConfiguration.get(this.getContext()); private int mTouchSlop = vc.getScaledTouchSlop(); private boolean mIsScrolling; private float startY; @Override public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) { final int action = MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(ev); // Always handle the case of the touch gesture being complete. if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL || action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { // Release the scroll. mIsScrolling = false; startY = ev.getY(); return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev); // Do not intercept touch event, let the child handle it } switch (action) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: { Log.e("VRecView", "its moving"); if (mIsScrolling) { // We're currently scrolling, so yes, intercept the // touch event! return true; } // If the user has dragged her finger horizontally more than // the touch slop, start the scroll // left as an exercise for the reader final float yDiff = calculateDistanceY(ev.getY()); Log.e("yDiff ", ""+yDiff); // Touch slop should be calculated using ViewConfiguration // constants. if (Math.abs(yDiff) > 5) { // Start scrolling! Log.e("Scroll", "we are scrolling vertically"); mIsScrolling = true; return true; } break; } } return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev); } private float calculateDistanceY(float endY) { return startY - endY; } }
The "Favourite" layout which is the recyclerview within the vertical recyclerview:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:background="@color/white" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Favourite" android:layout_marginTop="8dp" android:layout_marginBottom="8dp" android:layout_marginLeft="16dp" android:id="@+id/header_fav"/> <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_below="@+id/header_fav" android:id="@+id/recyclerview_fav"> </android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView> </RelativeLayout>
This has been bugging me for a while now and I have not managed to come up with a solution. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
5 points to Griffindor for the correct answer and of course, reputation points on SO.

brAzzi64 about 8 yearsIf you're using data binding though, you can do app:nestedScrollingEnabled="@{true}", and get away with not doing it in code :D

user2095470 about 8 years@Ari thanks of your explanation. I am trying to use setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) to solve similar problem but I have minimum API level 15. I am using latest support library. Is this only supported in API 21 and up?

darnmason almost 8 yearsThanks for the note on the XML attribute, that was exactly my next question.

RecyclerView has support for nested scrolling introduced in API 21 through implementing the NestedScrollingChild interface
, what about pre-21 APIs? -
Simon over 5 yearsBest to just use airbnbs epoxy library.
