Toolbar overlapping other contents android

I have a BaseActivity which contains the navigation drawer.
So , now my other activities will extends from the baseActivity to get the navigation drawer as well.
This is my app_bar layout
<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="com.example.matt_pc.dissertationv2.HomeActivity">
<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_home"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
<com.andremion.counterfab.CounterFab
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"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/white"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_shopping_cart_black_24dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
This is my content_main
<FrameLayout 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/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context=".HomeActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_home"
/>
My navigation drawer.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 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"

<include

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_home"
android:background="#color/overlayBackground"
app:itemTextColor="#color/white"
app:itemIconTint="#android:color/white"
app:menu="#menu/activity_home_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The problem is my toolbar is overlapping my contents.See below.
Any help on this?

I'm guessing that either using two appbar_scrolling_view_behavior or, when replacing the Fragment would cause the issue.
So, if you have something like this in your app (when trying to show Fragment):
..replace(android:R.id.content, yourfragment())
Change the view to your FrameLayout id content_frame:
..replace(R.id.content_frame, yourfragment())
And use the layout it as follows:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout 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="true">
<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>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
<com.andremion.counterfab.CounterFab
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"
app:backgroundTint="#android:color/white"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_shopping_cart_black_24dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Try delete your AppBar theme and toolbar popupTheme:
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"

Drawer and Toolbar not showing when I add a fragment

When I add the fragment into the content_frame - I can't see the drawer (swiping doesn't help) and toolbar.
When I DON'T add the fragment I can see them. What is wrong with my implementation?
MainActivity layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_view" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Playlist fragment layout:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/playlist_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>
I'm using data binding (maybe it matters...) so obviously the first thing on the layout files is the tag and it's children and then the actual layouts/views.

You Need to use CoordinatorLayout for app bar scrolling to work. Try using this layout
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_view" />

Navigation drawer does not cover my toolbar [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How do I use DrawerLayout to display over the ActionBar/Toolbar and under the status bar?

Closed 5 years ago.
I am a beginner here in android and I am trying out different things. I wanted to create a navigation drawer with view pager. But whenever I do that the navigation drawer just doesn't seem to cover up the toolbar on top. I've tried out many different things. Here's the link to the tutorial I used.

Change the xml layout of activity_main.xml to be

Here I made the drawer layout the parent of the screen, And removed the toolbar to be in the next layout

Thanks in advance .

Try to use below code in the RecyclerView.
android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"

I im just facing the same problem. It seems that this is space is reserved for the upper indicator bar.
For the moment, I have solved with android:fitSystemWindows="false" in the DrawerLayout itself, and in (this is important, you have to change the both) in the first layout content.
