How to display a list and an additional text block on the screen?

Question

Android

Good afternoon!
The application has a screen with order details: a text description (delivery address, etc.) + a list of goods. Something like this:

How to properly layout such a layout?

<LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout>
        <TextView />
        <TextView />
        <TextView />
    </LinearLayout>
    
    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView />

</LinearLayout>

If I do this, then the list of products takes up only the rest of the screen and scrolls within this small area. I would like the whole thing to scroll. Is that possible? Maybe you need not RecyclerView, but something else?

Answer 1

In the end, I came up with the following solution:

<ScrollView>

    <LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/order_items_list" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/order_extra_details">
            
            <TextView />
            <TextView />
            <TextView />
            ...
            
        </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

In turn, I fill the order_items_list programmatically in Activity:onCreate using inflater.inflate.

I think you need to wrap it all in a ScrollView.

Answer 3

As an option, use different ViewHolders for your RecyclerView. The first element will be a holder with a product description, the rest will be a holder for list items.

Answer 4

I think you should use a parallax effect to make your LinearLayout with TextView go off screen on scroll. Read how to do it here or there .
