Android : Bottom Menu Bar Hides the Recycler View

Question

in my app i created a bootom menubar layout with floating button and i include that in my main activity and also i place a recycler view in my main activity

i just add 100 items to display in my recyclerview to check whether it was working or not for that when i run my application the recycler view of last item hides inside the bottom menu bar how to solve this

here is the sample image of what i said

activity_main.xml

 <include
        layout="@layout/toolbar"
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        />


 <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recycle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/toolbar"
        app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
        />

    <include
        android:id="@+id/bottom_nav"
        layout="@layout/bottom_menu_bar"
        />

Answer 1

add a layout_marginBottom to the RecyclerView which is equal to the height of the bottom navigation
