            </RelativeLayout>

        </ScrollView>

    </LinearLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer" />

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

I am using scroll view with the nav drawer. Why do I open and close the nav drawer then the view will scroll to bottom position? Can I move it to top or remain the same position? Please give me some helps.

Answer 1

Remove android:inputType="textPersonName" part first for TextView.Then add android:scrollbars="vertical" to your ScrollView .It worked fine for me.

Here I will post the code I used for testing, ScrollView kept same position while using NavigationDrawer

Answer 2

Your layout has bunch of problems:

android:layout_alignParentStart="true" - the same thing as left (or right for RTL) android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" - the same thing as right (or left for RTL)

It's wrong to declare start and left in the same time

Using a recycler view inside ScrollView - bad practice and will never work. You can use nested scroll view (RecyclerView inside ScrollView is not working), but the better solution is put what you want inside scroll view (as headers and footers).

I think there is no way to measure your layout. Try to figure out how android is drawing views (https://medium.com/@britt.barak/measure-layout-draw-483c6a4d2fab#.y7nd8gyql).

P.S. You have much more problems with your layout, it's easier to write a new one, than pointing all problems.
