ScrollView底部的按钮被切断

Question

I have a scrollview which is very similar to the whatsapp group info section. It shows a list ( recyclerview ) of all the group participants, and a button to leave the group. The problem is, when there is more than 5 or 6 people in the recyclerview , the leave group button (ID - groupInfoLeaveGroupButton ) gets removed from the bottom of the display and I can't scroll down to it.

I've got no idea why this is happening, any help is appreciated.

The recyclerview has setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) set.

Answer 1

Your recyclerview is occupying all the space, it needs to be set so that it displays above the button. Change it like this

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                android:id="@+id/groupInfoParticipantsRv"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="0dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
                android:background="@color/whiteText">

Answer 2

Probably it's because of your margin in recycler view. You can remove it or add invisible view at the bottom of scroll view child

        <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="20dp"/>

       </LinearLayout>

    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>
