Make Toolbar in NestedScrollView not scrollable

Question

I have a custom Toolbar inside a NestedScrollView. In the NestedScrollView are also some TextViews and Edittexts.

My problem is that not only the TextViews and Edittexts are scrolled, the Toolbar is scrolled too.

It is only logical that a Toolbar in a NestedScrollView is scrolled.

I want a custom Toolbar with an absolute position at the top and scrollable TextViews and Edittexts.

This is the code I am working at:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">

 <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="#ffffff"
    android:elevation="5dp"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:contentInsetEnd="50dp"
    app:contentInsetRight="50dp"
    app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
    app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">

  </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

  <TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="A long unimportant text"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

So I tried to wrap only the TextViews and Edittexts in a ScrollView like:

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

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="#ffffff"
            android:elevation="5dp"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:contentInsetEnd="50dp"
            app:contentInsetRight="50dp"
            app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
            app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
            app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
            app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
            </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

            <ScrollView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent">

                <TextView
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="A long unimportant text"/>

                </ScrollView>

        </LinearLayout>

But it's not working.

It's very important that a custom Toolbar is used.

Try a relative layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".EmptyActivity">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        android:elevation="5dp"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        app:contentInsetEnd="50dp"
        app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
        app:contentInsetRight="50dp"
        app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
        app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="A long unimportant text" />

    </ScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>
