How to make AppBarLayout Drawable background to be spread over the status bar?

I'm trying to achieve AppbarLayout with background, inside the AppbarLayout to have a static Toolbar, under the the Toolbar i'm using a CollpasingToolBar that now contains a Toolbar and later supposed to include also a Custom View that it's content will be scaled according to scrolling position, and in the bottom of the AppBarLayout i'm using a TabLayout.
The issue i can't resolve is: i want that the AppbarLayout Drawable will be also be spread over the status bar, currently i failed to achieve this.
I'm attaching the xml layout and also a screen shot:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

After editing Manifest file :
<activity android:name=".ExitUntilCollapsedActivity" android:theme="#style/JustTryStyle" />
And creating the JustTryStyle style:
<style name="JustTryStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
I got the following apperance:

In your theme you need to add
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
Edit:
Add these two to the theme your activity uses as defined in the AndroidManifest.
If other activities also use use this theme but should not have the transparent navigationbar then you need to extend it and update your AndroidManifest accordingly.
Edit 2: try adding <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item> instead or additionally
Edit 3: also add fitSystemWindow=true to constraintlayout and appbar

Recyclerview content goes behind navigation bar

I have a typically problem since Android Lollipop. But I already tried everything.
I have this layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

In the activity_main_content I have this:

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
In my code I'm doing a typical initialization for a RecyclerView and nothing that changes the window settings/features or else. So now the content of my RecyclerView are going to the bottom of the screen behind the navigation bar. I already tried using fitSystemWindows, clipToPadding and clipToChildren.
I thought my style brings this fail but how it looks it doesn't:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/background</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-medium</item>
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
<item name="android:fontFeatureSettings">smcp, onum</item>
<item name="android:letterSpacing">0.02</item>
</style>
Any suggestions how to fix this without adding layout_marginBottom to RecyclerView? Because of the height difference from the navigation bar on different devices.

This could be the result of using app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" when setting up the Toolbar.
With this setting on, the layout height below the Toolbar is larger than what is visible on your device. It includes some extra to allow smooth scrolling when the Toolbar is scrolled up.
If your Activity/Fragment does not need to scroll the content, a fix would be to simply remove the 'scroll' flag (app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways").

text in the tablayout is not show correctly

I have a 11 Fragment in the viewPager, and when tablayout want to show these 11 fragment name , their text not show correctly.
this is the screenshot of my problem :
and this is my activity_main.xml:

</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
and I set this on my tablayout in the MainActivity.java but still i have a problem :
appTabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

try to use like that
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/xmlTabLayoutMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/xmlToolbarMain"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="8dp"
app:tabMode="scrollable"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>
also try to use if not working
app:tabGravity="fill"
tabMode will make your tab scrollable.So it should solve your problem.

You could create a custom style for your text and there define all the constraints like normal text view attributes. then just set tab text appearance to your custom style.
Your tab layout will be like -
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs_home"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:tabTextAppearance="#style/MineCustomTabText"
app:tabMode="scrollable"
/>
And in your style.xml file define the style, like this -
<style name="MineCustomTabText" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
</style>

Bottom toolbar layout

I have created two toolbars one top and one bottom.
And the result is like this:
My question is, how can i make my bottom toolbar's items centered and their widths span vertically to fit the toolbar?
Here is what i've done:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="app.shinobi.org.ssmis.MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/main_toolbar" />
</LinearLayout>
<app.shinobi.org.util.tab.SlidingTabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="2dp"
android:background="#color/primaryColor"/>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
<include
android:id="#+id/stats_toolbar"
layout="#layout/stats_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
These are my two menus:
for the top toolbar:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="app.shinobi.org.ssmis.MainActivity">
<item android:id="#+id/search" android:title="#string/search"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_search" android:orderInCategory="1" app:showAsAction="always"/>
<item android:id="#+id/refresh" android:title="#string/action_refressh"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh" android:orderInCategory="2" app:showAsAction="always" />
for the bottom toolbar:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="app.shinobi.org.ssmis.MainActivity">
<item android:id="#+id/monthly" android:title="#string/action_monthly"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh" android:orderInCategory="3" app:showAsAction="always" />
<item android:id="#+id/yearly" android:title="#string/action_yearly"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh" android:orderInCategory="4" app:showAsAction="always" />
<item android:id="#+id/drugs" android:title="#string/action_drugs"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_refresh" android:orderInCategory="5" app:showAsAction="always" />
Thanks!

Creating a menu will always put your button to the end of the toolbar.
If you want to center these buttons, you will have to use toolbar.addView(view) where your view can inflate from a xml file like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="3"
>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Then you just have to:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setContentInsetsRelative(0, 0);
toolbar.addView(
LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.toolbar, null, false),
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)
);

Actually you can use a ActionMenuView to replace your bottom Toolbar
Or you can try this SplitToolbar implementation
https://gist.github.com/dodgex/7bc81fd2cbb70a8d5117

I can suggest one not very good solution but it works. If i right understand in include layout you have a toolbar view. Its a container so you can use it like relative or linear layout. And put buttons or other views inside it. And write properties like gravity in center. That is all.
Another way - do smth with items in menu layout may be. But i don't know how(
PS: a short example
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/primary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="previousActivity"
android:src="#drawable/ic_navigate_before_white_24dp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Contact us"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Struggling with toolbar using android support design library

I am tying to get transparent toolbar over RecyclerView contains custom Relative Layout i called it customHeader . my layout in the main activity is like:
i use android support design library v.22.2.1 and other support libraries with the same version
things are fine except that, i am getting toolbar with my primary color rather than transparent toolbar even though, i have removed background color from toolbar layout.
this is the result i have got:
What i want is transparent toolbar but should get filled with primary color only when i scroll up
my activity_main layout is:

Check how u style is applied
Where u set it to transparent (alpha?)
View.getBackground().setAlpha(..) ;
