I want to have a NestedScrollView in my CoordinatorLayout but the scrolling just never works. I don't see what I'm doing wrong here. Is there an issue with the NestedScrollView being inside the CoordinatorLayout? Could someone tell me why my layout isn't scrollable? Here was my attempt:

EDIT: Adding in screen shot and layout initialization:
AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name=".com.tabs.activity.Comments"
android:label="View Post"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateVisible|stateAlwaysHidden">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".com.tabs.activity.news_feed"/>
</activity>
The reason why I need to have my Layout scrollable is because of this piece of code in Comments.java. This looks in my database and dynamically adds views into the containerList layout I have described in comments.xml.
Comments.java:
public void populateComments(long postId) {
//Prepare layout inflater and container
//This is for populating the container container_list
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
LinearLayout containerItems = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container_list); // this replaces your listview
for (Comment i : commentsDatasource.getCommentsForPost(postId)) {
View childView = vi.inflate(R.layout.comment_item, null);
TextView message = (TextView)childView.findViewById(R.id.comment_message);
TextView name = (TextView) childView.findViewById(R.id.commenter_name);
TextView timestamp = (TextView) childView.findViewById(R.id.comment_timestamp);
message.setText(i.getComment());
name.setText(i.getCommenter());
timestamp.setText(i.getTimeStamp());
//Set profile picture
DraweeController controller = news_feed.getImage(i.getCommenterUserId());
SimpleDraweeView draweeView = (SimpleDraweeView) childView.findViewById(R.id.commenter_profile_photo);
draweeView.setController(controller);
containerItems.addView(childView);
}
}
Screenshot of what is happening: You can't see it but my keyboard covers my LinearLayout called container_list.
Edit: Added screenshot when I added in getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
in my Activity
