you can fix it when you add addtribute android:fillViewport="true" in android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView :) . This my code.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    >
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list_myContent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        >
    </ListView>

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

Didn't worked for me too. The ListView content isn't scrollable. – Luis E. Fernandez Jan 24 '16 at 18:50

Listview not scrolling – piyush poriya Mar 22 '16 at 07:14
android:fillViewport="true" works like a charm. Also keep in mind that a recycler view may be more appropriate in most cases (e.g. the whole list or individual items updates dynamically at runtime). – txedo Mar 30 '16 at 11:20
Worked with me So Thanks , you are really saved my time. just Added the tag android:fillViewport="true" – Waleed A. Elgalil Jun 14 '16 at 00:49
Worked for me +1. I have a ConstraintLayout within the NestedScrollView and it didn't scale up to full height without that flag. – Jürgen 'Kashban' Wahlmann Nov 30 '16 at 08:58
Try enabling programmatically like "nestedScrollView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);" – james Dec 16 '16 at 08:18
It helped. I have spent two days searching for the solution. – sam Jan 22 '17 at 08:58

Well it did expand the viewport, but it isn't scrollable for me. – Keno Jan 31 '17 at 20:05

on Lollipop onwards you can use

setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);

on your ListView/GridView/ScrollableView. From the documentation

Enable or disable nested scrolling for this view

if you need backwards compatibility with older version of the OS you'll have to use the RecyclerView. You can read more here

Edit. ViewCompat has the static method setNestedScrollingEnabled(View, boolean). Eg.

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(listView, true)

thanks to @Dogcat for pointing it out

This answer should definitely be upvoted and even set as the correct answer now. I ended up changing my implementation to a `RecyclerView` because I only read the answer that was accepted as the answer. Yes of course I could've read all the answers, but the first one worked for me - if was just a hassle to change the implementation ;-) – Darwind Nov 08 '16 at 19:28

For the CoordinatorLayout to work properly you need the scrolling child to implement NestedScrollingChild. Such classes are NestedScrollView and RecyclerView.

To say it short - just use a RecyclerView for your scrolling content and it'll work correctly :)

P.S. As a side note, I don't see a reason why you'd use a ListView anymore. I know it's a habit and it's easier to setup (because you've done it many times), but using a RecyclerView is the recommended way anyways.

RecyclerView doesn't handle the CursorAdapter. This could be a good reason! – Blodhgard Dec 27 '15 at 19:03
You could use Shywims custom CursorRecyclerView Adapter: https://gist.github.com/Shywim/127f207e7248fe48400b – Irritator Jan 06 '16 at 07:48

this is what worked for me.

set android:fillViewport="true" on the NestedScrollView

add One Layout Element as Child to NestedScrollView. In my case LinearLayout and then set android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true" on ListView Make ListView a child of LinearLayout

Good to go

I was about to say the same thing until I read this. This solution is good for API 21+ – zuko May 14 '18 at 04:01
Only solution that's worked for me. And Using the LinearLayout helps in composing a composite ui nested inside the outer NestedScrollView. Thanks! – JWL Dec 10 '19 at 12:28

Replace your ListView with RecyclerView if possible else create your customListView and set onMeasure of ListView to this:

 public NonScrollListView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        int heightMeasureSpec_custom = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
                Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec_custom);
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
        params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
    }

This ListView won't be able to scroll anymore and can be used inside NestedScrollView.

Just add android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true" tag inside your NestedScrollView.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:scrollbars="none"
  android:nestedScrollingEnabled="true">
   <ListView
      android:id="@+id/list_myContent"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:scrollbars="vertical">
  </ListView>

This one is only supported in API 21 and higher. Unfortunately I'm building for 16 minimum. — Keno, Jan 31 '17 at 20:06
