Answer 1

I know I am late it the game, but the issue still exists even after google has made fix on the android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

The issue I get now is RecyclerView with layout_height=wrap_content not taking height of all the items issue inside ScrollView that only happens on Marshmallow and Nougat+ (API 23, 24, 25) versions.
(UPDATE: Replacing ScrollView with android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView works on all versions. I somehow missed testing accepted solution. Added this in my github project as demo.)

After trying different things, I have found workaround that fixes this issue.

Here is my layout structure in a nutshell:

   (vertical - this is the only child of scrollview)
     
      (layout_height=wrap_content)
     

The workaround is the wrap the RecyclerView with RelativeLayout. Don't ask me how I found this workaround!!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Complete example is available on GitHub project - https://github.com/amardeshbd/android-recycler-view-wrap-content
