match_parent not working for ListView, if ListView is inside NestedScrollView

Question

In my app I am using a ListView and it is inside a NestedScrollView. When I set height of the ListView to match_parent it does not cover the whole screen. I want that ListView to cover the whole screen.

My XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:isScrollContainer="false"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"
        android:clipToPadding="false"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:paddingTop="1dp">

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:divider="@null" />
        </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Sorry but my reputation is less. At least 10 reputation is needed to add screenshots. — , Sep 02 '15 at 10:12
As @Reza mentioned you should not use a scrollable view like listview inside another scollable view like scrollview. So why do you want listview to be inside NestedScrollView? — Rajen Raiyarela, Sep 02 '15 at 10:17
where are you using this nestedscrollview in other layout?... post it — SRB Bans, Sep 02 '15 at 10:17
@RajenRaiyarela I am developing the app with new Material design library. And i want my toolbar to hide when listview is scrolled. So NestedtedScrollView is mandatory for my app. — , Sep 02 '15 at 10:20
check your fragment layuot ,that you are not using padding in your fragment layuot — SRB Bans, Sep 02 '15 at 10:25
Actually, the above xml file is fragment and it is directly added to the viewpager. — , Sep 02 '15 at 10:27
i mean, check its parent viewpager container's width and padding. — SRB Bans, Sep 02 '15 at 10:29
Everything is fine. If i add WebView instead of ListView. Then Webview is covering whole screen but not ListView — , Sep 02 '15 at 10:31
you can try my personal suggestion, try to set the background color of above three views one by one and you can see which one is creating problem. — SRB Bans, Sep 02 '15 at 10:48
Forget about nesting `ListView` in the `NestedScrollView`. Just use `RecyclerView` instead. — Lamorak, Sep 02 '15 at 11:21
It will be a very long process. And i also don't know how to use recyclerview in place of listview — , Sep 02 '15 at 11:24

android:fillViewport="true"

android:fillViewport="true"

This makes the list view cover the entire device screen but in case there is much data, it does not enable scrolling. You can view its results from this image
