RecyclerView steals focus when inside a NestedScrollView

using android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" very dangerous. Because it blocks opening keyboard. For example at the same page you use edittext and you solve the problem using blocksDescendants. and you click the edittext, keyboard will not open. For this reason, you should use android:focusableInTouchMode="true" in root view in NestedScrollView.

For me accepted answer didn't work. I solve this by adding this attribute for parent:

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

Thanks @Amagi82. You answer helped me but it was not enough. I added more 2 attributes. That worked for me:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"">

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <View
        android:id="@+id/someView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="350dp"/>

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Make your top view focusable. "RecyclerView has "focusableOnTouchMode" set to true to handle its childrens' focus changes during layout." Relevant discussion of the issue.

Example:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <View
            android:id="@+id/someView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="350dp"/>

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

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