Only first transition works in multistate transitions motionlayout

Question

I am testing multistate transitions just like in the below sample.

https://github.com/googlearchive/android-ConstraintLayoutExamples/blob/multi_state/motionlayout/src/main/res/xml/scene_26.xml

My layout is pretty straightfoward. It has a header with a recyclerview below it. So for testing purposes I am trying to perform the following transitions.

Transition 1 Header changes its size from 500dp(start state) to 200dp(intermediate state)

Transition 2 Header changes its size from 200dp(intermediate state) to 0dp(end state)

The problem is only first transition happens. My desired behavior is when I scroll the list T1 occurs and right after it T2 should occur making the header collapse completely.

Please NOTE- I am doing this for testing only. I have an animation that I need to develop that uses the same principle here

Here's the code

Answer 1

MotionLayout does not support Multi-state transitions of NestedScrollView/RecyclerView. It would generate way to many corner cases.
