NestedScrollView scrolls to top on Recyclerview resized

Question

I have a NestedScrollView containing a LinearLayout and a RecyclerView (both inside a RelativeLayout).

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/scroll">

    <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/lay_account">


        <LinearLayout
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@android:color/white"
                android:paddingTop="10dp"
                android:id="@+id/lay_total"
                android:paddingBottom="10dp">

            <TextView
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="@string/total"
                    android:id="@+id/lblTotal"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/text_medium"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
                    android:textColor="@color/dark_eurakostheme_color"
                    android:textStyle="bold"/>


            <LinearLayout
                    android:orientation="horizontal"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal">

                <TextView
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:id="@+id/txtTotalAmount"
                        android:textSize="@dimen/text_extra_extra_large"
                        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                        android:textColor="@color/eurakostheme_color"/>

                <ImageView
                        android:layout_width="@dimen/icon_extra_extra_large"
                        android:layout_height="match_parent"
                        android:id="@+id/imageView3"
                        android:src="@drawable/coin_eurakos"/>
            </LinearLayout>

        </LinearLayout>

        <View
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="1dp"
                android:id="@+id/divisor"
                android:background="@color/dividerColor"
                android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/lay_total"/>

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
                android:layout_below="@id/lay_total"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/rclBasketAmounts"
                android:background="@android:color/white"
                android:padding="10dp">
        </android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>

    </RelativeLayout>

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

After loading the data into the RecyclerView, I need to change it's height programmatically like this:

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay_params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
    50 + ((int) (baskets.length * getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.list_height_small))));

lay_params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, lay_total.getId());
recyclerView.setLayoutParams(lay_params);
recyclerView.setAdapter(new ListBasketAmountAdapter(baskets));

The problem is when the data has finished loading the NestedScrollView scrolls automatically scrolls to the top of the RecyclerView, hiding the LinearLayout above it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

After several days I've found a solution to the problem. You just need to add the descendantFocusability in the first layout under the ScrollView like this:

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/lay_account"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants">
