Scroll a TextView out the screen

Question

I have a bit of a predicament.

My Layout is currently this:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:background="@color/white"
              android:orientation="vertical">


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

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

      <TextView
          android:id="@+id/item_shipping_shipping_description"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_gravity="start|left"
          android:padding="@dimen/margin_16"/>


      <View
          android:id="@+id/line43"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="@dimen/line_height"
          android:background="@color/light_gray"/>
    </LinearLayout>

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

  <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
      android:id="@+id/item_shipping_fragment_recyclerview"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:background="@color/white"
      android:isScrollContainer="true"/>
</LinearLayout>

The TextView is dynamic content set by the server and it can be really long sometimes.

The problem I am having is the TextView can take up the whole screen. This XML is a fragment that is in a TabLayout with a collapsable toolbar. So when I scroll the content I would like the TextView to scroll out the screen, if this is possible. I tried to embed the Textview in a scrollView but this doesn't work as you see about?

Got any ideas how I can still have the CollapsableToolbar collapse as well as scroll the Textview out the screen to reveal the RecyclerView?

Thank you

Thank you for this, but this didnt work? the TextView doesnt slide under the collapsing toolbar? Im at a loss as to why this doesnt work — Stillie, Feb 23 '16 at 06:22
In the fragment? because i have a coordinatorlayout in the Activity that is holding that TabLayout with Fragments? — Stillie, Feb 23 '16 at 06:43
