Coordinatorlayout doesnt work with included toolbar

I have an appBarLayout with a toolbar and tabs and a pageview with a nested scroll and scroll flags so the toolbar disapears when i scroll inside the pageview, if the bar and pageview is in the same layout under coordinatorlayout it all works fine, but if i move the appBarLayout and include it in the main layout it doesnt anymore, i have no idea why. This is what i have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.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=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar_include"
layout="#layout/toolbar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/toolbar_include">
</androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
and my appBarLayout in a separate layout file
<?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:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_layout"
>
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appBarLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#1770B6"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="?attr/actionBarTheme"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:titleTextColor="#FFFFFF" />

if i put them together it works perfectly

Placing layout below AppBarLayout

I have currently this layout set
<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="com.beastovest.copilot.activity.MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
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:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
And it looks like
this
by removing:
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
it stars to look like this
The button is still clickable however it is not visible.
I am trying to achieve this look
The action bar to be in front of all content

A guy posted a solution which was to replace the CoordinatorLayout with Relative layout and it worked.
Result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
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="com.beastovest.copilot.activity.MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:elevation="0dp"
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:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Move include under the relative layout

I am trying to move the include below the Relative Layout (with a toolbar inside it). Now as you can see from the picture they overlap.
Here is my sample code:
<?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:background="#android:color/white"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Place your toolbar inside a AppBarLayout.
<?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:background="#android:color/white">
<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:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Android layout coming out of screen in layout preview

I'm working on a small project and all of a sudden layout preview has started misbehaving.Its coming out of the screen. Its not the case with layout height or width!! You can get clear picture with these images
This is the second image :
It is very clear that the blue color border is coming out of screen.
I've found this question in SO but it is not related to my question.
stackoverflow question
These are the things I tried
Clean and Make project haven't worked
Rebuilding project haven't worked
Invalidate cache and restart Android Studio too haven't worked :/
This is the xml code of activity_details.xml

Thanks in advance...

You can use this solution to control your view appearance :
<?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"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<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"
>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/appbar">
<include layout="#layout/list_elec"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Included Layout should be FrameLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout 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.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/photos_rec_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
/>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"/>
</FrameLayout>

ActionBar covering my activity

I have an activity whose xml is:
<?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="ivykoko.com.likechecker.MainActivity">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/reciclador"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="3dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
<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>
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
And it looks like this:
As you can see, the action bar is covering the top of the recyclerview. What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Add app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" to your RecyclerView. This will cause the CoordinatorLayout to position it below the AppBarLayout.

Put Appbar as direct first child of coordinator layout and use app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" in RecyclerView.

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

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>
