I want to make an app that will list the books of every Writer.The screen has two cardview:
The first one with information about the writer and it will have always the same height.
The second one will have the list of his books. I want the second card to have limitless height i.e. the card will grow longer whenever you add a book.
At first I used a scrollview as root and inflated a row inside the card for every book saved in the database. Now i'm using a recyclerview inside the second card because it helped and simplified the code. But now I can scroll inside the card instead of all the screen and I don't want that to happen. How can i fix that?
The second card shouldn't be scrollable:
