<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"> <!-- Content here --> </androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView> </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
By attaching the appbar_scrolling_view_behavior to the NestedScrollView , the scroll events automatically trigger the AppBarLayout to expand or collapse. If you are using Jetpack Compose, the equivalent is Modifier.nestedScroll . The same principles apply: nestedscrollview
| Do | Don't | |----|-------| | Use NestedScrollView with CoordinatorLayout for collapsing toolbars. | Put a RecyclerView with wrap_content inside it for long lists. | | Enable fillViewport to fill the screen when content is short. | Nest NestedScrollView inside another NestedScrollView . | | Keep inner lists small (< 10 items) or use multiple view types in a single RecyclerView . | Assume NestedScrollView is a drop-in performance upgrade – it has overhead. | | Test scroll fling behavior – physics can feel different. | Forget to handle keyboard visibility if the view contains EditText fields. | Final Take NestedScrollView is not a magic bullet, but it is an indispensable tool for modern, material-design-compliant Android apps. Use it when you need coordination , avoid it when you simply need containment . Respect the recycling system, and your scrolling will be buttery smooth. <androidx
