Android – the item inside RecyclerView can’t be clicked after scroll

Found a way to force the scroll state to be idle.
Waiting for google to fix this bug.

@Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    boolean requestCancelDisallowInterceptTouchEvent = getScrollState() == SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING;
    boolean consumed = super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
    final int action = event.getActionMasked();

    switch (action) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            if( requestCancelDisallowInterceptTouchEvent ){
                getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);

                // only if it touched the top or the bottom. Thanks to @Sergey's answer.
                if (!canScrollVertically(-1) || !canScrollVertically(1)) {
                    // stop scroll to enable child view to get the touch event
                    stopScroll();
                    // do not consume the event
                    return false;
                }
            }
            break;
    }

    return consumed;
}

EDIT

The issue has been fixed in support library 27.0.1.

After a user scrolls, they cannot click on an item in a RecyclerView. (AOSP issue 66996774)

Updated on Nov 17, 2017

Some users reported that this problem is not fixed in support library 27.0.1.
The issue tracker is here.

So you may choose to use this official workaround.
