Not able to add empty view below Recyclerview

Question

I was trying my hand with recyclerview and floating action button for an app. The problem I encountered is that the floating action button hinders with the buttons in recyclervi

Answer 1

Add bottom padding to the RecyclerView. Also, don't use android:layout_height="wrap_content" unless you've overridden onMeasure in the layout manager. Current layout managers do not yet support wrap content.

Add the attribute android:clipToPadding="false" to achieve the goal. As mentioned in comments.
