RecyclerView inside a ScrollView/NestedScrollView does not scroll properly

When you have multiple scrolling Views in your layout (eg. RecyclerView + ScrollView) and when you scroll while in your recyclerView, the recyclerView scrolls with the parent Scrollview. this causes jitters in RecyclerView. You can avoid this jitter by the following.

You can add
android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false" to your RecyclerView in XML or
recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false); to your RecyclerView in Java.

If you want to support devices older than api 21 then you should use

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(mRecyclerView, false);

in your Activity/Fragment
