I made a simple layout in which there is a AppBarLayout (that doesn't scroll), some content in the middle, and a BottomSheet. This BottomSheet is actually a LinearLayout with a BottomSheetBehavior and inside has a RecyclerView.
This BottomSheet when expanded places the RecyclerView on top of the AppBarLayout. The problem is that, when the user tries to scroll this RecyclerView, the AppBarLayout below steals the scroll.
I'm leaving the layout code, but I uploaded the whole example project to GitHub with a GIF to illustrate.

I've tried:
- Placing the
nestedScrollingEnabledattribute in various places, but didn't work and this behavior occurs in old APIs (like JellyBean); - In the original project where I saw this I wrote a custom AppBarLayout behavior to ignore if the target View is the RecyclerView of the BottomSheet, but also didn't work;
- Set the whole AppBarLayout
GONEwhen the BottomSheet is expanded and funny enough the AppBarLayout behaves like I set toINVISIBLE(if programmatically set toGONE, it behaves like invisible, if set before inflating, it behaves as expected).
I'm avoiding use a Fragment to create this BottomSheet due to project specifications.
