Collapsing Linear Layout

I'm working on android application just for learning purposes an in the app I have a Relative layout who has another linear layout in it and a RecyclerView. The RecyclerView is there to show a list of friends for the particular user and the Linear layout is to give an option to the user to click on it and to be redirected to another activity where he can add new friends. This is the .xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/addFriendLayout">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/add_new_friend"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:textColor="#color/addNewFriendTextColor"/>
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/friendsRecyclerView"
android:layout_below="#+id/addFriendLayout"/>
</RelativeLayout>
What I want to do?
-When the user scroll up I want that Linear layout to hide behind the toolbar and then when user scroll down to collapse and become visible.
This is one similar case like mine but I didn't understand how to do it.

Disable toolbar scroll inside coordinatorlayout

I have a toolbar that scroll with the content in my app. When I perform an action, I want the toolbar to show always.
So I start with:
appBarLayoutParms.setScrollFlags(AppBarLayout.LayoutParams.SCROLL_FLAG_SCROLL);
If I scroll on the view, the toolbar hides, it works fine. Then, I perform the action when the toolbar is hidden. I do:
appBarLayoutParms.setScrollFlags(0);
After that the toolbar doesn't appear, it remains hidden.
I want to be able to disable the scroll behaviour any time and show the toolbar, and turn it on again after that.
This is my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout

Android CoordinatorLayout Behaviour with complex layout

I have a simple layout that is a CoordinatorLayout containing a Toolbar in an AppBarLayout and a RecyclerView. To allow for a progress bar while content is loaded into the RecyclerView I've wrapped it in a FrameLayout alongside a ProgressBar which I've included from another file. When the content is loading the ProgressBar is set to VISIBLE and when it's finished it's set to GONE, showing the RecyclerView. I'd like to use a ScrollingViewBehavior so that when I scroll my RecyclerView the Toolbar is hidden. I've tried adding it to the FrameLayout and the RecyclerView and neither seems to work.
What do I have to do to get the behavior I am looking for? Do I need to make a new ViewGroup or something like that in order to show/hide the ProgressBar and define a new Behavior for that, or is there something simpler?

I have almost the same setup you do, but I've included two progress bars. One appears when the activity is loaded, and covers the whole thing. The second one appears on a swipe refresh and only replaces the RecyclerView (well, actually the RecyclerView's parent SwipeRefreshLayout).
<RelativeLayout
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:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<include layout="#layout/loading_progress"/>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="#+id/coordinator_layout"
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:fitsSystemWindows="false">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/app_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/app_bar_height"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="#+id/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar_landing_page"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="#layout/loading_progress"/>
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:id="#+id/swipe_refresh"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/landing_page_top_margin"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
And my progress bar is just:
<ProgressBar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/loading_progress"
style="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Inverse"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:visibility="gone"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
When it's time to show the progress bar I set it to View.VISIBLE and the SwipeRefreshLayout (or the CoordinatorLayout for when the Activity is loaded) to View.GONE. Then reverse the VISIBLE and GONE when the data is loaded.

View covering action toolbar?

I am trying to create a tool bar associated with an EditText on my scren. Below are the contents of my xml file that I am trying to create:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:tool="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tool:context=".CreatePost"
android:id="#+id/create_post">
<include layout="#layout/app_bar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/create_post_toolbar"/>
<!-- Edit text for typing status. Light gray placeholder. -->
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textColorHint="#d3d3d3"
android:layout_below="#id/create_post_toolbar"
android:hint="Update your friends!"
android:padding="10dp"
android:gravity="top"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:id="#+id/type_status"/>
</RelativeLayout>
app_bar.xml:
<?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=".CreatePost">
<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_universal"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
However, when I do this, my EditText covers my toolbar. Here is an image to show what happens:
I don't really understand why this is happening, is there anyway to align my EditText so it doesn't cover the toolbar? Thanks!
UPDATE: after adding in Arya's code into mine, my image looks like so, which makes the ActionBar too high. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Your layout, in its current definition, does not make much sense. I think the problem here is that the CoordinatorLayout has been assigned fitsSystemWindows=true. This makes it report its bottom from the very top of the status-bar. On the other hand, the RelativeLayout expects the bottom value from the bottom of the status-bar. This makes your EditText overlap the Toolbar by 25dp - the standard height of a status-bar. You can kind of confirm this by assigning android:fitsSystemWindows="true" to your RelativeLayout with id create_post. In this case, the bottom for CoordinatorLayout will be reported correctly, and the EditText will not overlap the Toolbar.
Usually, the CoordinatorLayout is set to be the parent, and the content (in your case the RelativeLayout) resides as a child of the CoordinatorLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"

If you have a specific reason for placing the CoordinatorLayout inside a RelativeLayout, please do share.

set background for activity containing AppbBarLayout

I am trying to use androids CoordinatorLayout and FrameLayout. What I want to have is a
toolbar
LinearLayout showing some info
tablayout
listviews
when the listviews are scrolled the toolbar and the LinearLayouts should scrollup and hide and the tabs should go at the top.
I have a layout of the type:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

<!-- My Scrollable View -->
<include layout="#layout/nested_scrolling_container_view"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
What I want to do is have a picture as the background for the entire activity, but what I see is that the AppBarLayout part is always dark. Please help.

I could do it programmatically by setting the backgroundColor in code to Color.TRANSPARENT.
appbar.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
