How to disable the click/touch events for parent and child recyclerview(nested recyclerview) but scrolling needs to work

Question

I have tried with this code.

recyclerview.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(@NonNull RecyclerView rv, @NonNull MotionEvent e) {
                    return true;
                }
                @Override
                public void onTouchEvent(@NonNull RecyclerView rv, @NonNull MotionEvent e) {

                }
                @Override
                public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {
                }
            });

Using this disabling the touch event is working fine. But scrolling not working. Thanks in advance.

By default I believe the RecyclerView will not have any click/touch enabled, so you don't really need to do anything to get the behavior you want. Adding a addOnItemTouchListener this way will definitely block the scrolling behavior if you don't fully implement the onTouchEvent which seems unnecessary in this case.
