Just swap standard Android layout names for the NestedScroll-prefixed equivalents in your XML layout files.

in plain english

On Android phones, you have probably noticed apps where scrolling feels smooth and coordinated, like when a header image collapses as you scroll down a list, and everything moves together as one fluid motion. That effect relies on a system feature called "nested scrolling." The problem is that several common Android building blocks, including WebView, LinearLayout, FrameLayout, and RelativeLayout, do not support this feature out of the box. This library solves that by providing drop-in replacements that do. The way it works is straightforward for an Android developer. Instead of using the standard layout components provided by Android, you swap them for the equivalents from this library. The replacements have the same names but with "NestedScroll" added to the front, so NestedScrollWebView or NestedScrollLinearLayout, for example. Once you plug those into your screen layout, your content can participate in coordinated scrolling behavior without any extra wiring. This is useful for Android developers building apps with modern scrolling patterns, such as a collapsible app bar sitting above a WebView that displays article content. Without this library, the web content would scroll independently of the header, creating a jarring, disconnected experience. The same applies to apps that use tabbed swipe views or layered frame layouts where different parts of the screen need to move together when the user drags a finger. The project is written in Java and supports both older and newer Android projects. For teams still using the legacy Support library rather than the current AndroidX standard, the library offers a couple of workarounds, though it recommends migrating to AndroidX for the best long-term result. A demo app is available to download and test directly on a phone before integrating anything into a real project.
