Mixing
RecyclerView LinearLayout always appearing on top of other elements
I have this screen called Messages that displays a list of recent messages to the user. In my activity_messages.xml file I have this bit of code:
<View
android:id="@+id/horizontal_line"
android:layout_width="351dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:background="@android:color/black"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.47"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/Game_Button"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.216" />
Basically, this block of code creates a horizontal line. Below that horizontal, I want to display the user's recent messages.
Below that horizontal line block of code, I have this code:
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="64dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="168dp">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical">
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
This takes care of displaying the user's recent messages.
Now in my Messages.java file I have this bit of code:
mMessagesLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(Messages.this);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mMessagesLayoutManager);
mMessagesAdapter = new MessagesAdapter(getDataSetMessages(), Messages.this);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mMessagesAdapter);
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
MessagesObject obj = new MessagesObject(Integer.toString(i));
resultsMessages.add(obj);
}
mMessagesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
This code is for testing purposes, but it works. It shows all the user's messages a linear order and I am able to scroll through them. My only problem is when I run the program, the recent messages don't start below the horizontal line. Some of the messages are above the horizontal line and on top of the other elements. I think the first message jumps to position (0,0).
How do I fix this? I would like my messages to appear the way they are right now, just below the horizontal line.

Change this:
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="64dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="168dp">
to this instead:
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/horizontal_line"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
Two major changes going on here:
ConstraintLayoutdoesn't fully supportmatch_parent, so we use0dp(which means "match constraints") instead.- Add constraints for all four sides. The start/end constraints make the view fill the screen horizontally, and the top/bottom constraints make the view fill everything from below the line to the bottom of the screen.

You can either wrap both views the first view and the scrollview in a LinearLayout with android:orientation="vertical", or you can add constraints (if the root view is a ConstraintLayout)
