Toolbar appears on the bottom instead of top in android app - android

I am using a toolbar for my android app and disabled action bar . For main activity the toolbar comes correctly on the top but for app settings (which is a fragment) it appears on the bottom , any help on this
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:name="com.example.app.Settings$NewsPreferenceFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/toolbar"
tools:context="com.example.app.Settings">
<include xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Please check if you are using Linear Layout with gravity="bottom" or relativeLayout
Make sure the code resides something like this
The layout should ideally look like
<LinearLayout 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"
orientation="vertical">
<include xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<fragment
android:name="com.example.app.Settings$NewsPreferenceFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.app.Settings">
</LinearLayout>

How to freeze the Toolbar at the top of the activity?

I'm trying to pin my toolbar at the top just like a normal 'Action Bar' just like when u click on a twitter post the toolbar up top stays there no matter how much u scroll down.
I found a lot of guides on "how to make the Toolbar collapse and other cool effects" but what i want from it, is to act as an Action bar and stay at the top, is there a simple way of accomplishing that ? without the use of (CoordinatorLayout, CollapsingToolbarLayout, ...) ?
Yes you can pin your toolbar at the top of the activity for that you have to create a layout file named toolbar_layoutlike this
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
android:theme="#style/ToolbarStyle"
app:titleTextColor="#color/colorWhite"
app:subtitleTextColor="#color/colorWhite"
app:titleTextAppearance="#style/ToolbarStyle"/>
And in the activity layout i.e activity_main file include it as like this:-
<LinearLayout
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"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar_layout"/>
</LinearLayout>
And after that design accordingly the layout
Cheers Happy Coding.
You can make your layout xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" />
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Your content here -->
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
or put RecyclerView instead of ScrollView + LinearLayout if you have a list

Xamarin Android FrameLayout and Content Overlapping on Navigation Bar And on Menu

Screenshot 1
Screenshot 2
The above screen shots is preview for application previewing on android. As you see the FrameLayout and content of FrameLayout is overlapping on NavigationBar and on Menu. How should I make the content visible within frame. Also I want the content should placed behind the NavigationBar.
Below is the code of Main.axml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/framelayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
/>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header"
app:menu="#menu/nav_menu"
/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
How should I make the content visible within frame. Also I want the content should placed behind the NavigationBar.
Put your FrameLayout and toolbar in a LinearLayout like this :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/ll">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/framelayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
/>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT :
no content is visible on menu item click
In your toolbar.axml, your CoordinatorLayout's layout_height property is match_parent, so no content is visible.
Modify your toolbar.axml code like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/main_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:background="#2196F3" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Then your project will works fine.

How to get a border at the bottom of my toolbar?

I want to add a gray border at the bottom of my white toolbar so that it's distinctly separated from the main content. I'm setting up my toolbar like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/pick_root_layout">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/pick_toolbar"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/Toolbar.White"
android:background="#color/white">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:id="#+id/swipe_refresh_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/conversation_list">
</ListView>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I need to add a small gray line at the bottom of the toolbar that also scrolls with it when I move. How can I do this? I'd like to avoid making a custom layout if possible.
If you are trying to add a drop shadow type effect that will stay attached to the toolbar an easy way to get this is to wrap your SwipeRefreshLayout with a FrameLayout and place a foreground on the FrameLayout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/pick_root_layout">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/pick_toolbar"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/Toolbar.White"
android:background="#color/white"/>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:foreground="#drawable/bottom_shadow">
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:id="#+id/swipe_refresh_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/conversation_list" />
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Fragment's layout being covered up by activity's toolbar/tablayout

I have a single activity app with a nav drawer to navigate between a few fragments. The activity also has a toolbar and a tab layout, and I have it so that the tabs stay hidden through visibility-gone until the fragment with a view pager is switched to. The problem is that the contents of the tabbed fragment are hidden underneath the toolbar and the tab display. Any ideas?
Main Activity Layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
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"
android:id="#+id/main_drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appbar"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:visibility="visible">
<include
android:id="#+id/my_toolbar"
layout="#layout/app_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="false"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways">
</include>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:id="#+id/TabsDisplay"
app:tabMode="scrollable"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
android:visibility="gone"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/container"/>
</FrameLayout>
<!--The drawer stuff is below -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/main_navDrawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/nav_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_drawer_header"
app:itemIconTint="#color/colorAccent"
app:itemTextColor="#color/colorSecondary_text"
app:menu="#menu/menu_nav_drawer"/>
Toolbar Layout: ( I just had this seperate through different attempts at it, and never merged it back in.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways"/>
I have a basic layout as an 'intro page' that just displays a textview right now that is put into the container on startup, that is replaced by the other fragments through the nav drawer. One of them has a viewpager, that enables the tablayout to appear, the tabs display and load with text and fragments properly, but they are being covered up by the toolbar/tab bar. I have tried having the tablayout directly into the fragment, but then it never displayed at all, and am having trouble finding the correct way to do this.
Tabbed/Viewpager Fragment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:id="#+id/tabTestVP"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Use a relative layout and give the following attribute to the FrameLayout:
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"
Make sure to add the ID to the toolbar first
U can use a RelativeLayout in place of the first FrameLayout in your hierarchy and align the Fragment container below the AppBarLayout. "android:layout_below="#id/appBarLayout"

Use this layout for your activity
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/DrawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:elevation="7dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

layout="#layout/tool_bar"></include>
<!-- Your Main Content-->
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Your Header-->

<!-- Your Footer-->
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
And your toolBar layout, tool_bar.xml
