Question

Hi I am facing one issue in designing and its xml is as follow. Issue is that I am using two textview, button and recyclerview inside nested scrollview. When I am running this code view is started from recyclerview but when I am scrolling down then those textview,button are visible. Please help me how to start view from first view and avoid direct focus on recyclerview while displaying view inside mobile. How can I solve this problem? Help me. Sorry for my poor english.

How? I seem to have a similar problem, can you post your solution please? — Antoine, Mar 07 '16 at 09:54

I managed my code as following way and it's working fine for me. Take a look at full layout code:

Using EditText as first element inside NestedScrollView may help you.

    <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView 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:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <LinearLayout 
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/blur"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <EditText
                android:layout_width="0px"
                android:layout_height="0px"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />

                <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
                    android:id="@+id/itemsHolder"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Note: You have to hide key board when launching activity

Add

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

inside the LinearLayout like This

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView 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"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
            android:orientation="vertical">
