StickyHeader Views are unaccessible

I am trying to add a StickyHeaderView along with Parallex header using item decorator,

The Layout is added and it works fine however no views inside headerView are accessible

Here is the standard code

@Override public long generateHeaderId(int position) { if (getItem(position) != null) return getItem(position).id; else return -1; }

@Override public HeaderViewHolder onCreateHeaderViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup) { View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.listview_header_profile, viewGroup, false); // initializing views and then let's say setting onClicks, setText to textViews nothing seems to work strangly. LinearLayout nationLayout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.nationsLayout);

nationLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { moodLayoutClick.moodLayoutClicked(Constants.MOOD_TYPE_NATION); } });

    return new HeaderViewHolder(view);
}

@Override public void onBindHeaderViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {

}

public class HeaderViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { protected TextViewWithFont nationBtn; //

    HeaderViewHolder(View view)
    {
        super(view);

Tried initializing here too. Doesn't work } }

What actually is going on?
