NestedScrollView not scrolling in recyclerView generated data

Question

I'm using a NestedScrollView in a CardView that's generated in a RecyclerView. I can't get the scrolling to work - there seems to be sporadic moments when I can scroll through the list in the top item but no other scrolls seem to work. Cheers!

This is the layout of the cardView that's generated in the RecyclerView:

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

    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

Then, my abridged code for MainActivity:

  @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.checkout_home);

    cardPurchasesDataSet = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < productsForPurchase.length; i++) {
        cardPurchasesDataSet.add(productsForPurchase[i]);
    }
    card_totalPrice = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < totalPriceData.length; i++) {
        card_totalPrice.add(totalPriceData[i]);
    }
    card_extras = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < extrasData.length; i++) {
        card_extras.add(extrasData[i]);
    }
    card_more = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < moreData.length; i++) {
        card_more.add(moreData[i]);
    }
    merchants = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < merchantsData.length; i++) {
        merchants.add(merchantsData[i]);
    }

    card_recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
    card_layoutManger = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
    card_recyclerView.setLayoutManager(card_layoutManger);
    card_adapter = new checkout_card_Adapter(cardPurchasesDataSet, card_totalPrice, card_extras, card_more, merchants);
    card_recyclerView.setAdapter(card_adapter);
}

    return titleOfPurchase.size();
}

public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    public ImageButton itemImage;
    public TextView itemTitle;
    public TextView itemPrice;
    public TextView itemExtras;
    public TextView itemMore;
    public TextView merchant;

    public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        itemTitle = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.itemTitle);
        itemPrice = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.priceContainer);
        itemExtras = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.extraContainer);

Answer 1

As per your screen shot how do you expect it to scroll the inner view while it showing all the views? it will only scroll on small devices where your all textview won't be able to display. Can you please post a proper screenshot of this view from app.
