ListView not expanding inside NestedScrollView

Question

I am using CoordinatorLayout in my activity page. In that there is ListView below the app bar. But its not working when I use ListView instead of NestedScrollView. And if I put ListView inside NestedScrollView, ListView is not expanding

Solution 1

For the CoordinatorLayout to work properly you need the scrolling child to implement NestedScrollingChild. Such classes are NestedScrollView and RecyclerView.

To say it short - just use a RecyclerView for your scrolling content and it'll work correctly :)

P.S. As a side note, I don't see a reason why you'd use a ListView anymore. I know it's a habit and it's easier to setup (because you've done it many times), but using a RecyclerView is the recommended way anyways.

Solution 2

you can fix it when you add addtribute android:fillViewport="true" in android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView :) . This my code.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    >
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list_myContent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        >
    </ListView>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Solution 3

on Lollipop onwards you can use

setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);

on your ListView/GridView/ScrollableView. From the documentation

Enable or disable nested scrolling for this view

if you need backwards compatibility with older version of the OS you'll have to use the RecyclerView. You can read more here

Edit. ViewCompat has the static method setNestedScrollingEnabled(View, boolean). Eg.

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(listView, true)

thanks to @Dogcat for pointing it out

Solution 4

this is what worked for me.

set android:fillViewport="true" on the NestedScrollView

add One Layout Element as Child to NestedScrollView. In my case LinearLayout and then set android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true" on ListView Make ListView a child of LinearLayout

Good to go

Solution 5

Just put android:fillViewport="true" inside you NestedScrollView Tag

I dont see a fastscroll and section adapter implementation for recycler view yet

[Sagar Panwala]

How can I implement Expandable listview

[Blodhgard]

RecyclerView doesn't handle the CursorAdapter. This could be a good reason!

[Irritator]

You could use Shywims custom CursorRecyclerView Adapter: gist.github.com/Shywim/127f207e7248fe48400b

[Luis E. Fernandez]

Didn't worked for me too. The ListView content isn't scrollable.

[Alpha Huang]

May I know your API level?

Listview not scrolling

[txedo]

android:fillViewport="true" works like a charm. Also keep in mind that a recycler view may be more appropriate in most cases (e.g. the whole list or individual items updates dynamically at runtime).

[Aziz]

Please explain how your answer solves the problem, it will help everyone understand your solution with more clarity and for future reference.

[Shivam]

@Aziz actually I was also facing same problem and it worked. on setting "fillViewport" true it stretch the content's height to the viewport's boundaries,

[Waleed A. Elgalil]

Worked with me So Thanks , you are really saved my time. just Added the tag android:fillViewport="true"

[Darwind]

This answer should definitely be upvoted and even set as the correct answer now. I ended up changing my implementation to a RecyclerView because I only read the answer that was accepted as the answer. Yes of course I could've read all the answers, but the first one worked for me - if was just a hassle to change the implementation ;-)

[Jürgen 'Kashban' Wahlmann]

Worked for me +1. I have a ConstraintLayout within the NestedScrollView and it didn't scale up to full height without that flag.

[james]

Try enabling programmatically like "nestedScrollView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);"

[sam]

It helped. I have spent two days searching for the solution.

[Keno]

Well it did expand the viewport, but it isn't scrollable for me.

[Keno]

This one is only supported in API 21 and higher. Unfortunately I'm building for 16 minimum.

more details on should or should we not replace ListView with Recycler view stackoverflow.com/questions/28392554/…

[Dogcat]

Calling ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(listView, true) does the trick with a ListView.

[liltof]

You just saved me! And yes this should be the accepted answer

[kreker]

@Dogcat no, it's not. Docs "If this view does not implement nested scrolling this will have no effect."

[kreker]

No, it's not working. Docs say "If this view does not implement nested scrolling this will have no effect."

[Hrk]

The ViewCompat does nothing before Android Lolipop: stackoverflow.com/questions/32811121/…

[zuko]

I was about to say the same thing until I read this. This solution is good for API 21+

[Jacob Sánchez]

"I don't see a reason why you'd use a ListView anymore" Can't you just answer the ... question?

[JWL]

Only solution that's worked for me. And Using the LinearLayout helps in composing a composite ui nested inside the outer NestedScrollView. Thanks!
