Answer 1

1. Don't use GridView, ListView or RecyclerView inside ScrollView. Use NestedScrollView instead of your ScrollView.

NestedScrollView is just like ScrollView, but it supports acting as both a nested scrolling parent and child on both new and old versions of Android.

2. Use SwipeRefreshLayout as parent of NestedScrollView.

3. Use attribute android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" to LinearLayout instead of android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants".

4. Use attribute android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false" to RecyclerView.

Update your layout as below:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#969696">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="#023956">

        <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_group"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
            android:id="@+id/notificationButtonId"
            android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
            android:paddingRight="10dp" />

    </RelativeLayout>

    <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout

Answer 2

just replace your swipe view at top of your layout like this

    <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
    android:id="@+id/swipeRefreshLayoutId"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="#969696"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        tools:context="com.systechdigital.webadeal.NewsfeedFragment"

        >

        <RelativeLayout
