Android: ScrollView vs NestedScrollView

Question

What is the difference between ScrollView and NestedScrollView? Both of them, extend FrameLayout. I want to know in depth pros and con

Answer 1

NestedScrollView is just like ScrollView, but in NestedScrollView we can put other scrolling views as child of it, e.g. RecyclerView.

But if we put RecyclerView inside NestedScrollView, RecyclerView's smooth scrolling is disturbed. So to bring back smooth scrolling there's trick:

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(recyclerView, false);

put above line after setting adapter for recyclerView.
