Placing BottomNavigationView below a Layout in CoordinatorLayout

Question

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/coordinatorContent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- This coordinator Layout matches the parent's height, I want to height to match till the BottomNaviagtionView and not below it -->

    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@color/primaryDarkColor"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/primaryColor"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|snap"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/primaryTextColor"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_items"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

In this Layout, I have placed a BottomNavigationView in a CoordinatorLayout and there is another CoordinatorLayout inside it. The Problem is that the BottomNavigationView overlaps the bottom part of the Inner Coordinator Layout. So need suggestions to make the Inner Coordinator Layout match_parent until BottomNavigationView and not below that.

Try this

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/coordinatorContent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <!-- This coordinator Layout matches the parent's height, I want to height to match till the BottomNaviagtionView and not below it -->

    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/primaryDarkColor"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/primaryColor"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|snap"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/primaryTextColor"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_items"/>

</LinearLayout>
