NestedScrollView scroll down itself when content is fills

Try to set android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" to the LinearLayout inside NestedScrollView. It works for me.

UPD: beware of using into the layout descendant elements like EditText, which should take a focus: that elements will not take a focus. If you know how to solve this, please let us to know.

An alternative to blocking the focus, is to add a new View that will steal the focus. Put it anywhere above the NestedScrollView, and it should work:

    <!--focusStealer, to avoid NestedScrollingView to scroll due to dynamically created views that take the focus-->
    <View
        android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="0px" android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"/>

This working for me:

mNestedScrollViewChat.post(new Runnable(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
        mNestedScrollViewChat.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
    }
});

This worked for me in Kotlin

 nestedScrollView.post { nestedScrollView.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN) }
