Place view below AppBarLayout without appbar_scrolling_view_behavior

I am using a CoordinatorLayout that contains an AppBarLayout and a FrameLayout that will hold different fragments at runtime. I need the FrameLayout to always be below the AppBarLayout without using the appbar_scrolling_view_behavior attribute. For reasons (namely trying to get a RecyclerView and a floating footer button to work on the Fragments) I am applying this attribute on the RecylerView in the Fragment. Scrolling works fine except the FrameLayout thinks it should have the full height of the screen. This is usually fixed by the appbar_scrolling_view_behavior, but I cannot use that here. I tried layout_anchor and layout_anchorGravity to literally no effect.
Any ideas?

Swippable behavior of tabs not working when using NestedScrollView?

I am trying to learn Material Design, I am trying to make a layout like current layout of Whatsapp home screen
It all works fine i had set up my tabs and also able to make swipe layout in tabs, now when i tried to make AppBarLayout exit the screen along with content when scroll, so that my content gets some more height while scrolling and my toolbar hide while scrolling. For that,
I had included NestedScrollView as parent of my content_main layout, And i included that content_main inside my activity_main but due to use of nested scroll view the swipe behavior of tabs are gone.
Currently its working like this but tabs are not swippable now, tabs are working properly when i clicked them.
What can be the issue?

RecyclerView and Toolbar, can't scroll bottom item into view

EDIT: See Using the Master/Detail template in ViewPager Fragments (download link) for full code
I have a toolbar and a recyclerView. When the layout is first inflated the last item of the recyclerView is out of the scroll-able region of the screen and is therefore not visible. After rotating the item appears. It is apparent that the toolbar is pushing the recyclerView outside the boundaries of the screen. If I add padding to the bottom of the recyclerView with the height of the toolbar the issue is resolved BUT only for the initial inflation of the layout. After rotation I am left with a gap on the bottom of the screen. I'm using sdk 23.
A possible workaround would be to programmatically remove the padding after the very first inflation of the layout. I assume I could use:
onCreateView(){ if (onSaveInstanceState != null) removePadding();}
However, I'd rather not have to do a dodgy work-around.
My app is basically exactly the same as the Master/Detail-flow template supplied in Android Studio, except that I use fragments and a single Activity. There is no such issue in the template.
Any ideas?

snippet of ItemListFragment.java
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) root.findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setTitle("List");

I added:
android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"
android:layout_marginBottom="?attr/actionBarSize"
to item_list.xml. The issue persists. The first time the layout is inflated it shows the bottom element as expected. After rotating to landscape and back to portrait it leaves a margin the size of the actionBar at the bottom of the screen.
This issue does not happen in the Master/Detail-flow template available in Android Studio and the code for item_list.xml, item_list_twopane.xml and activity_item_list are exactly the same as the code used in item_list.xml, land/item_list.xml and fragment_item_list.xml in my project. Yet, as the attached images show, the preview of the AppBar shows the flexible space in the Android template but not my code.
EDIT: When I click on the reference for "?attr/actionBarSize" in the template it navigates to a different line in android SDK's values.xml, which starts with <declare-styleable name="AppCompatTheme">. The same line of code in my app references a different line starting with<declare-styleable name="Theme">.

You must add
android:layout_paddingBottom="?attr/actionBarSize
Instead of
android:layout_marginBottom="?attr/actionBarSize
This works for me

Where do I put my own xml code in activity_main using Androids default tab application

This is the activity_main.xml layout for Androids default tab application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
<!-- When I add my own view here and use match_parent, it fills ENTIRE screen, even over the Toolbar. The ViewPager right above does not do this. Why? -->
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
I am trying to add my own buttons/textviews/etc to my activity_main.xml but I do not know where to add them. The android.support.v4.view.ViewPager uses match_parent although it does not fit the whole screen, it expands across the entire screen besides the Toolbar area at the top. However, whenever I add my own view underneath the android.support.v4.view.ViewPager, lets say RelativeView and set it to match_parent, it expands OVER the Toolbar. This led me to believe that I should put my contents inside the ViewPager tags but that does not work either.
Where should I put my views so that they are not overlapping the Toolbar?

You can wrap your ViewPager in an RelativeLayout and you can add the view child also.
Here is the code snippet which may help you-
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:text="I am clickable" />
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/button"
android:background="#color/colorNeutral"
android:layout_above="#+id/button2" />
<Button
android:layout_marginBottom="56dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:text="I am clickable too" />
</RelativeLayout>

Fragment from View Pager hiding behind Tab Bar

I am having an issue with a Tab bar and ViewPager in my android project. What the app does it has an activity which hosts a tab layout and then has 2 fragment which represents each of the tabs.
When the activity is opened it posts to an API to get some data and puts the data into a data adapter for a Recycler View and Card layout in each of the fragments.
The recycler view will contain 3 items but only 2 are being shown as the first is being hidden under the toolbar and/or the tab bar as shown in the screenshot below.
Below is the layout file of my activity
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="com.BoardiesITSolution.CritiMonApp.AppsActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabMode="fixed"
app:tabGravity="fill" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!--app:layout_behaviour="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behaviour" />-->
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Below is the layout of the fragment
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<view
android:id="#+id/recycler_view"
class="android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</LinearLayout>
Below is the layout for card layout
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:cardview="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:layout_margin="8dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:elevation="5dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtApplicationName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:maxLines="3"
android:padding="8dp"
android:textColor="#222"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
Below is the screenshot as mentioned above which shows the problem. I've pixelated some of the text but it should you what I mean, there should be 3 items but the first item is hiding underneath the tab bar.

Edit: As suggested below by #smeet and #hardik, adding the scroll behavior app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" should fix the problem while preserving the scroll behavior. Scroll behaviors only work if the view is a direct child of the coordinator layout.
Old Answer
Just Wrap your appbar layout and viewpager in a vertical LinearLayout
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="com.BoardiesITSolution.CritiMonApp.AppsActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
//appbar layout
//viewpager
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
From the docs, CoordinatorLayout is a super-powered FrameLayout. So you can expect the typical "lay views on top of other views" FrameLayout behavior.

Adding :
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
in ViewPager resolved issue in my case.

if we will wrap app bar layout with linear layout than toolbar will not hide when you scroll so accepted answer might not help you if you want to hide toolbar when you scroll.
Smeet did it right way but not explained! here is full example with explanation.
add app namspace to CoordinatorLayout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
......
>
and just add below line in your ViewPager
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
complete xml will be as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
