                    </com.balysv.materialripple.MaterialRippleLayout>

                </LinearLayout>

            </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

        </LinearLayout>

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

<View
    android:id="@+id/shadow"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbar_shadow"
    android:background="@drawable/toolbar_shadow" /></FrameLayout>

The issue I am facing is when the app first starts up, the first card view is hidden behind the recyclerview. Check out this video for the exact issue Issue Video

I have tried changing the parent LinearLayout to RelativeLayout and then using layout_below attribute but that didn't work. Any idea what could be the issue? Also I am a beginner with code so please go easy on me if there is something silly that I am missing out on. Thanks

Answer 1

Finally found the solution, the only thing needed is to set recyclerview as non focuable like RecyclerView.setFoucsable(false);
