Coordinator layout and showing a text when toolbar colapses

I am trying to use CoordinatorLayout for the first time. From reading the docs and searching for tutorials, I didn't really understand anything about it.
I tried playing around with the code. So what I need is something like the following:
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
>
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
app:title="#string/the_title"
app:expandedTitleMarginBottom="94dp"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"
app:expandedTitleTextAppearance="#style/CollapsingTextAppearance.Inverse"
app:contentScrim="?colorPrimary"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/london_flat"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
/>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/flexible.example.toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#null"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
style="#style/ToolBarWithNavigationBack"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
which I got from a tutorial and when scrolling up as the image moves out and the toolbar starts to get opaque the app:title="#string/the_title" is used to be moved up and be the actual text in the app bar once the image has moved out.
How can I modify this so that there is no text in app:title and as we scroll up either I set the actual text once the action bar becomes opaque or I use another TextView to move its copy there?

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.

CollapsingToolbarLayout and hide toolbar while scrolling

I am trying to create some combined layout using CoordinatorLayout and also CollapsingToolbarLayout.
In the first state, when we on the most top page, and didn't scrolled yet, I want the toolbar to expend as shown below (yes, i did it):
In the second state, when starting to scroll down, the image and toolbar should disappear, as shown below (only tab will show):
And in the last state once I am at some point in the list (but not the top of the list) I want to start scrolling up, once I start scrolling up I want the toolbar (and not the expended one with the image) to start whowing, as shown below (if didn't reaches the top of the list, the image will not show, only the toolbar):
I was able to achive the the first state, but the other 2 state are problematic,
once toolbar is implemented inside CollapsingToolbarLayout, the flexability of what I can do with it outside of CollapsingToolbarLayout component is not clear.
I can't make the toolbar hide, if I do so, then it will only be shown once I reaches the top.
Anyways, my current XML (showing below) is in state where the first picture is implemented, but once I start scrolling down, the toolbar stay at the top and do not hide. Note: I must tell the toolbar to stay "pin" because if I didn't then the information inside the toolbar disappear, and only an empty toolbar will show (that's for another post, but it still interesting to know why this happen?).
here is my current xml:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="#+id/benefit_coordinator_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/app_bar_material_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="#+id/main.collapsing"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"
>
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar_search_container"
layout="#layout/search_box"
android:layout_height="192dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"
/>
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar_benefit"
layout="#layout/toolbar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/benefit_tab_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/primaryColor"
app:tabIndicatorColor="#color/accentColor"
app:tabSelectedTextColor="#android:color/white"
app:tabTextColor="#android:color/black"
app:tabIndicatorHeight="4dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/benefit_pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
<include
layout="#layout/floating_btn_benefits"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayou

I have fixed the issue, just to clerify, I wanted my Toolbar to be able to expand with a paralex image once it reaches the top, but I also wanted the toolbar to disappear if scrolling down, and show itself again (without the paralex image) once I scroll up. the paralex image effect should only displayed if I reaches the top.
So basically the solution is, change the component CollapsingToolbarLayout with the following attribute:
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|enterAlwaysCollapsed"
and also change toolbar component with the following attribute
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
regarding my paralex effect image (which is my toolbar_search_container) I shouldn't add any layout_scrollFlags to it.
So why is it working?
To understand it, you need to know what is enterAlwaysCollapsed,
The enterAlwaysCollapsed effects views that added the minHeight attribute. this means, every child of CollapsingToolbarLayout which have minHeight will be effected by this attribute.
So my toolbar will be effected.
enterAlwaysCollapsed attribute definition in simple words:
Assuming enterAlways is declared and you have specified a minHeight, you can also specify enterAlwaysCollapsed. When this setting is used, your view will only appear at this minimum height. Only when scrolling reaches to the top will the view expand to its full height..."
Well, isn't this exactly what we want? (do not answer this retorical question ;) )
One more thing to add, the parallax component (toolbar_search_container) is depends on the toolbar to expand, and because the toolbar will expand only when it reaches the top, then this is all just working great!
The new code is :
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="#+id/benefit_coordinator_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

Add this line of code to your CollapsingToolbarLayout
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|snap|enterAlways|enterAlwaysCollapsed"

Android - using the new design lib to create tabs with space below

Update
I was looking into this because when I changed the size of the spacer manually it caused stuttering and thought the CollapsingToolbarLayout will help fix it.
Reading https://stackoverflow.com/a/16103503/2482564 help me fix the stuttering by using ObjectAnimator and setting its duration to 0.
I'm keeping the question open in case someone has a solution with CollapsingToolbarLayout
Original question
I'm trying to achieve the following behavior with CoordinatorLayout, AppBarLayout, CollapsingToolbarLayout, Toolbar and TabLayout - whichever is appropriate for the task...
I want my initial view to look like this mockup
and the behavior when scrolling up should be:
the area marked in yellow disappears 1st
the area marked in blue disappears 2nd - it's only an area with color, no text
the area marked in pink - the tabs area, remains on the screen and is located at the top of the screen
I tried to work with the cheesesquare example and modified include_list_viewpager with the code below, but I get the normal collapsing tabs behavior with the shrinking title
<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.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="#+id/collapsing_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="50dp"
android:background="#color/cardview_dark_background"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">
<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|snap"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:background="#color/cardview_shadow_start_color"
android:gravity="top"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin">
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/cardview_light_background"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
any idea what should be changed to get the behavior I want? I tried other methods of changing the size of the spacer area manually, but it causes flickering on screen since I'm intruding in the middle of the scroll event

Remove the app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed" from your CollapsingToolbarLayout

Overlaying content above AppBarLayout using new Material Design

I want to achieve something like that. (not the FAB or the Snackbar). How can i create a layout, overlaying the AppBarLayout? Like this! (For Example)
Like Play Store:
My AppBarLayout with CoordinatorLayout and NestedScrollView with RelativeLayout as content looks like this:
<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:id="#+id/rootLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_118sdp"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="#+id/collapsingToolbarLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:contentScrim="#color/mpc_pink"
app:expandedTitleMarginStart="#dimen/_40sdp"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">
<de.mypostcardstore.widgets.ItemImageView
android:id="#+id/header"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#color/mpc_pink"
app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"
app:layout_collapseParallaxMultiplier="0.7" />
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/article_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:contentScrim="#color/mpc_pink"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="?android:colorBackground"
android:fillViewport="true"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent".....>
It would be awesome if someone could help me out. I can not find anything on the internet...
Thanks in advance!

Just add something like
app:behavior_overlapTop="64dp"
to your NestedScrollView and it will be placed above the expanded toolbar.
In addition, you should add something like
app:expandedTitleMarginBottom="70dp"
to your CollapsingToolbarLayout so the title does not appear under your overlaid scroll content.

It's quite simple, really. You could achieve that by using a combination of ToolBar, FrameLayout, and your content view (could be a ListView like your first example, or anything).
The idea is to make your FrameLayout possess the same color as your ToolBar, giving the illusion of ToolBar being much larger than it is. Then all that is left to do is to make your content view be the last (or in API 21 and above: possess the highest elevation attribute) so that it would appear as if it floats above the aforementioned FrameLayout.
See my illustration below:
Now that you got the big idea, below is some real live XML snippet for doing such thing. (I actually use this layout in one of my apps) :
<!-- Somewhere in your layout.xml -->
....
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/tb_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:contentInsetStart="72dp"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>
<!-- This is the 'faux' ToolBar I've been telling you about. This is the part that will be overlaid by the content view below. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/v_toolbar_extension"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="64dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/tb_toolbar"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="2dp"/>
<!-- Normally, I use this FrameLayout as a base for inflating my fragments. You could just use put your content view here. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/ly_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/tb_toolbar"
android:elevation="3dp"/>
....
Note that my ly_content has higher elevation value than that of v_toolbar_extension. This is what will give you that desired 'overlaid toolbar' effect.
Last but not least, you would want to add this line somewhere in your activity's onCreate() :
/* Assuming mToolbar exists as a reference to your ToolBar in XML. */
setSupportActionBar(mTbToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
What that codes woud do is to set your ToolBar elevation to zero; removing preset shadows that were given as a default to ToolBars. If you don't do this, said shadow will create a "seam" between your ToolBar and your FrameLayout, thus breaking the illusion of those two being the same.
p.s., It is also important to give your content view a padding on each side. Doing so, your content view will not cover the entire width of the screen (which would render this effect useless).
Note: I see some good answers here that mentioned the absence of FrameLayout and instead making the ToolBar taller. While in theory it might work as well as my proposed solution, you might have problems when trying to manipulate scrolling; by doing that, you won't be able to separate ToolBar and its extension. You'll be forced to either make the Toolbar static or scroll all of the ToolBar altogether (makes scrolling a bit weird).
Add to that, the fact that you can't easily assign a custom drawable into a Toolbar. Hence makes it hard to follow the Google Play example you've given above. While if you're using my solution, all you'd need to do is just make your Toolbar transparent and assign the drawable to the FrameLayout instead.

I had a similar requirement and I achieved it as below.
Your activity theme should extend Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.
I created a Layout XML File as:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/action_bar_size_x2"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/action_bar_size"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:textSize="24sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
And the Activity should be something like this:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar maintoolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_main);
setSupportActionBar(maintoolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
}
I got a view like this :

I did try to implement effects like you referred which is called Card Toolbar in Android, and it did work as expected. Here is my layout, Take a look at it:
<FrameLayout 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:background="#color/background_material_light" >
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/toolbar_double_height"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/cardview_toolbar_spacer"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/cardview_toolbar_spacer"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/white">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" />
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:alpha="0.12"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</FrameLayout>
Hope you'll be inspired.
