Android: Layout for dynamic buttons + FAB + Appbar - android

I'm new to Android (and Java) and have difficulties with the layouts.
When I click on the FAB, a button should be created. As I learned, I must use LinearLayout when I want to add buttons programmatically. This is generally working, but when I try to combine the LinearLayout with the FAB and the appbar, either the newly created button is not shown or the FAB or the appbar.
One of the layouts hides always some of the other elements. It should look that way:
Appbar
LinearLayout - Buttons with scroll bar
FAB on the bottom right
I tried with RelativeLayout, FrameLayout, CoordinatorLayout etc., no luck.
activity_main.xml
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="xyz.mypackage.MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/main_layout">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<!--include layout="#layout/content_main" /-->
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/fab_margin"
android:visibility="visible"
app:srcCompat="#android:drawable/ic_input_add" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Create the button in the xml and set visibility to gone. Fab click triggers dialogfragment, to take input you can include EditText.
EditText editText = (EditText) getDialog().findViewById(R.id.project_name);
if (editText != null) {
Log.e("Value", editText.getText().toString());
button.setText(editText.getText().toString());
button.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
Log.e("", "EditText not found!");
}
How to get Text from a EditText in a DialogFragment?
getText from a EditText in a DialogFragment

After reading the documentation (yes, I should have done that before posting a question), I found out a way to do it:
As root, use a RelativeLayout, then for the appbar and buttons use a LinearLayout as child (I also added a ScrollView with another LinearLayout). The FAB should be within the root (RelativeLayout) with the following attributes:
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

Why does my RecyclerView not scroll when placed inside an AppBarLayout?

I have an AppBarLayout in my app along with a FrameLayout that I use as a placeholder to load in fragments:
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/main_content_fragment"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#color/white" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
The fragment in question looks like this:
<LinearLayout
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">
<ProgressBar android:id="#+id/loading_downloaded"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id = "#+id/items_downloaded"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
The Fragment is substituted in from code as you might anticipate:
val fragMan: FragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager()
fragMan.beginTransaction().add(R.id.main_content_fragment, fragment).commit()
The problem is that I cannot scroll my RecyclerView when I format it this way. If I move the FrameLayout outside of the AppBarLayout it works perfectly but then the fragment lies behind the app bar, which is very untidy. This confirms for me that the fragment is working correctly, I just can't figure out why the fragment's scroll behaviour changes when it's within the AppBarLayout.
What do I need to do to be able to scroll my content? Or have I misunderstood and I need to display my fragments outside the AppBarLayout where they scroll correctly and shift everything down by the height of the app bar?
Your fragment's content is meant to be placed as a sibling of the AppBarLayout. You should wrap everything inside a CoordinatorLayout and set this attribute in your FrameLayout where your fragment resides: app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior".
Here's your XML structure would be:
<CoordinatorLayout>
<FrameLayout
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" ... >
...
</FrameLayout>
<AppBarLayout> ... </AppBarLayout>
</CoordinatorLayout>
Having this setup would allow your fragment to show all of it's views with your AppBarLayout. CoordinatorLayout will take care of everything for you.
Here's the official documentation:
AppBarLayout also requires a separate scrolling sibling in order to
know when to scroll. The binding is done through the
AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior behavior class, meaning that you
should set your scrolling view's behavior to be an instance of
AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior. A string resource containing the
full class name is available.
See this link for more details: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/AppBarLayout.html

Adjusting CoordinatorLayout behavior

Let's assume that we have the following layout:
<?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="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/fab_margin"
app:srcCompat="#android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
In this layout, if I drag the SearchView upward, it will collapse and disappear. But I wonder how I can attach this dragging effect to my RecyclerView. Means I like to collapse the SearchView whenever I scroll RecyclerView items upward, but expand SearchView when I scroll RecylcerView items downward. Do I need to create a custom behavior for SearchView or it is possible to create this effect by available behaviors?
Best Regards
Use a collapsing toolbar layout and wrap up the searchView inside it... and also wrap up the recyclerView with a nestedScrollView and add the app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/> to the nested scroll view instead
Dont forget to add scrollFlags and content_scrim to your collapsing toolbar layout..
The collapsing toolbar layout should be inside the appBarLayout
For reference check this out
https://antonioleiva.com/collapsing-toolbar-layout/
The only change you have to make is to add |enterAlways to your existing app:layout_scrollFlags attribute.

CoordinatorLayout content child overlaps BottomNavigationView

I'm trying to use a CoordinatorLayout with a BottomNavigationView, an AppBarLayout, and a ViewPager. Here is my layout:
<?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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways|scroll"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:itemIconTint="?colorPrimaryDark"
app:itemTextColor="?colorPrimaryDark"
app:menu="#menu/navigation"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
The problem is that the CoordinatorLayout places the ViewPager to extend to the bottom of the screen, so the bottom is obscured by the BottomNavigationView, like this:
This happens even though the CoordinatorLayout itself doesn't extend down so far:
I've tried adding app:layout_insetEdge="bottom" to the BottomNavigationView and app:layout_dodgeInsetEdges="bottom" to the ViewPager, but that has a different problem: it shifts the bottom of the ViewPager up, but it keeps the same height, so the top is now chopped off:
I tried two other experiments. First, I tried removing the BottomNavigationView from the CoordinatorLayout and making them siblings under a vertical LinearLayout. Second, I put the ViewPager and BottomNavigationView together under a LinearLayout, hoping they would layout out correctly. Neither helped: in the first case, the CoordinatorLayout still sized the ViewPager with respect to the entire screen, either hiding part of it behind the BottomNavigationView or chopping off the top. In the second case, the user needs to scroll to see the BottomNavigationView.
How do I get the layout right?
P.S. When I tried the layout suggested by #Anoop S S (putting the CoordinatorLayout and the BottomNavigationView as siblings under a RelativeLayout), I get the following (with the ViewPager still extending down behind the BottomNavigationView):
As before, the CoordinatorView itself only extends down to the top of the BottomNavigationView.
I came up with a different approach (not battle tested yet though):
I subclassed AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior to adjust the bottom margin of the content view based on the height of the BottomNavigationView (if present). This way it should be future proof (hopefully) if the height of the BottomNavigationView changes for any reason.
The subclass (Kotlin):
class ScrollingViewWithBottomNavigationBehavior(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior(context, attrs) {
// We add a bottom margin to avoid the bottom navigation bar
private var bottomMargin = 0
override fun layoutDependsOn(parent: CoordinatorLayout, child: View, dependency: View): Boolean {
return super.layoutDependsOn(parent, child, dependency) || dependency is BottomNavigationView
}
override fun onDependentViewChanged(parent: CoordinatorLayout, child: View, dependency: View): Boolean {
val result = super.onDependentViewChanged(parent, child, dependency)
if(dependency is BottomNavigationView && dependency.height != bottomMargin) {
bottomMargin = dependency.height
val layout = child.layoutParams as CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams
layout.bottomMargin = bottomMargin
child.requestLayout()
return true
} else {
return result
}
}
}
And then in the layout XML you put:
app:layout_behavior=".ScrollingViewWithBottomNavigationBehavior"
instead of
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
Basically what you have to do is create a Relativelayout as parent and put BottomNavigationView and CoordinatorLayout as children. Then align BottomNavigationView at the bottom and set CoordinatorLayout above that. Please try the below code. It might have few attribute erros, because I wrote it here itself. And sorry for the messed up indentation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_above="#+id/navigation"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways|scroll"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:itemIconTint="?colorPrimaryDark"
app:itemTextColor="?colorPrimaryDark"
app:menu="#menu/navigation"/>
</RelativeLayout>
This is caused by app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" in your ViewPager. If you remove this line, you will see now it fits the CoordinatorLayout container (unfortunately, this includes now being underneath the Toolbar).
I found it helped to treat CoordinatorLayout as just a FrameLayout, with a few extra tricks. The app:layout_behavior attribute above is necessary to allow the toolbar to appear to scroll in and out... in reality, the layout is doing this by having the view linked to the collapsing toolbar (in your case, your ViewPager) be exactly a toolbar's height larger than the bounds. Scrolling up brings the view up to the bottom within the bounds, and pushes the toolbar up extending beyond the bounds. Scrolling down, vice versa.
Now, onto the BottomNavigationView! If, as I did, you want the BottomNavigationView visible the whole time, then move it outside the CoordinatorLayout, as Anoop said. Use CoordinatorLayout only for things that need to coordinate, everything else outside. I happened to use a ConstraintLayout for my parent view (you could use RelativeLayout or whatever works for you though). With ConstraintLayout, for you it would look like this:
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/navigation"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
app:itemIconTint="?colorPrimaryDark"
app:itemTextColor="?colorPrimaryDark"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"

In Android Studio design view, you're still going to see the ViewPager appear to be larger than the container (probably looks like it's behind the Bottom Nav still). But that's ok, when you get to the bottom of the ViewPager's content, it will show (i.e. won't be behind the bottom navigation). This quirk in the design view is just the way the CoordinatorLayout makes the toolbar show/hide, as mentioned earlier.
I had a similar problem with a layout very close to OP's and a ViewPager with 3 pages but only page 2 and 3 which should be affected by appbar_scrolling_view_behavior.
After struggling for hours exploring dead-end possible solutions (layout_dodgeInsetEdges, Window insets, attempting to modify ViewPager's page measured size, android:clipChildren, fitSystemWindows, ...), I finally found an easy solution detailed below.
As Vin Norman explained, ViewPager overlapping BottomNavigation is entirely caused by appbar_scrolling_view_behavior set on the ViewPager. AppBarLayout will just make fullscreen the sibling that has appbar_scrolling_view_behavior. That's how it works.
If you only need this behavior on certain ViewPager pages, there is a simple fix than you can apply on the ViewPager's OnPageChangeListener to dynamically change the Behavior and add/remove required padding:
public class MyOnPageChangeListener extends ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
...
CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) _viewPager.getLayoutParams();
if(position == 0) {
params.setBehavior(null);
params.setMargins(params.leftMargin, _appBarLayoutViewPagerMarginTopPx,
params.rightMargin, _appBarLayoutViewPagerMarginBottomPx);
} else {
params.setBehavior(_appBarLayoutViewPagerBehavior);
params.setMargins(params.leftMargin, 0, params.rightMargin, 0);
}
_viewPager.requestLayout();
}
}
For page at position 0 (the one we want the ViewPager to extend exactly below the Toolbar and above the BottomNavigationView), it removes the behavior and adds top and bottom padding, respectively _appBarLayoutViewPagerMarginTopPx and _appBarLayoutViewPagerMarginBottomPx that are constants easy to compute beforehand (respectively the value in pixel for R.attr.actionbarSize and the height for the NavigationBottomView. Usually both are 56dp)
For all other pages needing appbar_scrolling_view_behavior we restore the associated scrolling behavior (stored beforehand in _appBarLayoutViewPagerBehavior) and remove top and bottom padding.
I tested this solution and it works fine without caveat.
In case anyone is still searching for a solution of this problem:
Cause of the problem is that CoordinatorLayout is not calculating correctly size of AppBarLayout because it has Toolbar with app:layout_scrollFlags="enterAlways|scroll" setting. It thinks that Toolbar will hide when scrolling so it leaves all available space to ViewPager, but actually what happens is that toolbar shows so ViewPager moves down, behind NavigationBar.
Easiest way to solve this is just to add android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" (or whatever toolbar height you are using) to AppBarLayout. This way CoordinatorLayout will know properly how much space it needs to leave for ViewPager.
If it still matters to someone:
In the answer of Anoop SS above, trying replacing the RelativeLayout with LinearLayout. Also set layout_height of CoordinatorLayout to 0dp and set layout_weight to 1.
I had almost the same problem....just that i wanted to have a static AdView at the bottom instead of the BottomNavigationView. Trying Anoop SS suggestions, at first, I got the same behaviour as OP: ViewPager extended behind the AdView. But then I did what I suggested about and everything worked fine.
Android layouts behave in weird manner or may be it is the lack of good documentation or the lack of knowledge on our part....but making a layout is just too annoying most of the time.
If you are using Androidx try this

SearchView shifting AppBar permanently upwards?

I am adding a SearchView to the current view at Runtime, like so:
View searchpage = inflater.inflate(R.layout.search_ui, (ViewGroup) view.getParent(), false);
SearchView searchbar = (SearchView) searchpage.findViewById(R.id.searchbar);
//ViewGroup of current layout
parent.addView(searchbar);
This code is executed when a button is pressed.
This code works, however if the SearchView is entered and exited, the animation that shifts the AppBar upwards works however upon exiting the AppBar is not reset. The SearchView is not embedded in the AppBar, and I am not attempting to do this. I would like the SearchView to be below the AppBar as it is.
The AppBar is defined in a separate xml file. I am switching between multiple views using a ViewPager.
Here are some screenshots:
Before SearchView is Tapped
After SearchView is Tapped/Entered and Exited
The SearchBar is defined in xml like so:
<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/searchbar"
android:layout_below="#+id/view"
android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
android:queryHint="Search"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
</android.support.v7.widget.SearchView>
The AppBar is defined like so:
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/appbar_padding_top"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Any help would be appreciated, I am at a loss as to why the AppBar won't slide back down automatically.
EDIT: I was concurrently having issues with a set of buttons not appearing at the bottom of the screen. I figured out that they were being drawn underneath the nav bar. I believe that when the SearchView was being entered, the toolbar was being pushed upwards to accommodate for the set of buttons at the absolute bottom of the screen. I added padding to the layout and I believe that was the solution to the issue.
Thanks,

Try something 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:background="#color/colorWhite"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="Your-Activity-name-like-com.xyz.MainActivity">
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
android:id="#+id/action_search"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:clickable="true"
android:title="#string/action_search">
</android.support.v7.widget.SearchView>
And inside the "layout" folder, create a toolbar.xml that looks like this;
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
Now you can reuse this toolbar in other activities too, id needed.

how to hide/show widget.AppBarLayout on click in android app

I have developed an application and my requirement is to show setting button at the top on click.
Below is the code for my Activity_main.xml,
Any shortcut way to auto hide and show the app bar layout?
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appbarlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/fab_margin"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_dialog_email" />
Following is the code at main_activity.java for onclick logic:
final AppBarLayout appbar = (AppBarLayout) findViewById(R.id.appbarlayout);
appbar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
appbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
});
Thanks
in the screen shot you can see the setting button, I want to hide this whole blue color appbar.
Just use View's setVisibility() to hide and show the AppBarLayout.
If you want it to animate then add android:animateLayoutChanges="true" to the AppBarLayout's xml.
You can set the Scrolling Behavior of a child View.
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/rvToDoList"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
Then add the scrollFlags of your Toolbar.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>
And finally, simulate a scroll every N seconds so the Toolbar gets hidden.
//After 5 secs, scroll screen to N item in a list or something.
I have tried these, still not working. better solution is show and hide the CollapsingToolbar and set the AppBarLayout params dynamically.
Do this when ever you show/hide the CollapsingToolbarLayout
mAppBar.setLayoutParams(new CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
