Nested Coordinator layout and Appbar Layout

Trying to build layout in which the activity has Coordinator layout and Appbar layout. The appbar layout has tab layout, which is connected to a view pager. In the view pager, the first fragment has another coordinator layout and an appbar layout. When the scroll happens in appbar layout, I want the Activity's appbar layout also to scroll.
Activity's xml

When the appbar scrolls in the fragment, I want the activity's appbar to scroll also.
I have used the NestedCoordinatorLayout as suggested in CoordinatorLayout inside another CoordinatorLayout
Please let me know how to achieve that
Thanks!

Android button permanently on bottom

I have the following Xml code where I want to display the content of a fragment into FrameLayount but I don't know how to keep my button always on bottom.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_lista_preguntas"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.ingenierovagabundo.encuestafacil.GUI.ListaPreguntasActivity">
<!-- Toolbar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/appbar_nueva_pregunta"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/contenedor_Pregunta"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</FrameLayout>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:text="#string/npa_button_guardar"/>

you can use RelativeLayout insted of LinearLayout as below:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_lista_preguntas"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.ingenierovagabundo.encuestafacil.GUI.ListaPreguntasActivity">
<!-- Toolbar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/appbar_nueva_pregunta"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/contenedor_Pregunta"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/btn"
android:layout_below="#+id/appbar_nueva_pregunta">
</FrameLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="false"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:text="#string/npa_button_guardar" />

You could add android:layout_weight="1" to your FrameLayout. This will expand the FrameLayout to fill any remaining space in the parent view. Which should result the Button to be at the bottom.
So your resulting FrameLayout will be,
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/contenedor_Pregunta"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
</FrameLayout>
For more on layout_weight follow the link
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/linear.html#Weight

You use a LinearLayout as container, then the elements follow each other.
If you want to keep your button always on bottom, use a RelativeLayout with
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true".
You also need to close your container! ;)

Use this Code in activity_main.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">
<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" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/fab_margin"
app:backgroundTint="#color/colorOrange"
app:srcCompat="#android:drawable/ic_menu_share"
tools:ignore="VectorDrawableCompat" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
And in content_main.xml, use this Code.
<?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:id="#+id/content_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Place Layout under the AppBar (like in Messenger)

Good afternoon,
I am trying to place a (Relative?Linear?Frame?)Layout under the AppBar and the above the ViewPager, like in the Facebook Messenger App.
Like "TOUS, MESSENGER, SMS" in the picture below :
Here is the code I tried, but it does not work, the Layout is not shown under the AppBar.
<?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.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.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|snap" />
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
app:tabIndicatorColor="#color/fullWhite"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<!-- This is the part I need to put between the AppBar and the content (ViewPager), but it is not shown -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/content_frame">
<include layout="#layout/tous_messenger_sms"/>
</FrameLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:background="#color/separator_color"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
And here is my "tous_messenger_sms" layout file (the problem is probably not that) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="16sp"
android:layout_marginRight="16sp">
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="28sp"
android:id="#+id/tous_btn"
android:text="TOUS"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_tous"
android:stateListAnimator="#null" />
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="28sp"
android:id="#+id/messenger_btn"
android:text="MESSENGER"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_messenger"
android:stateListAnimator="#null" />
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="28sp"
android:id="#+id/sms_btn"
android:text="SMS"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_sms"
android:stateListAnimator="#null" />
</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Your 'hashes' (id) view is anchored to the bottom of the RelativeLayout, which fills the fragment.
It looks like everything else is positioned above the hashes view, so it is all anchored to the bottom of the fragment.
You can try and position things relative to the center or top of the RelativeLayout.

FrameLayout doesn't fill CoordinatorLayout after GONE a view

Here is my main layout :
<LinearLayout 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="fill_parent"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/top_con"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="64dp"
android:background="#cc0000">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/close"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:text="Close"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />
</RelativeLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="#+id/main_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffffff">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<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/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/green"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
After event onClick on TextView (id/close), I set visibility for RelativeLayout (id/top_con) to GONE. But FrameLayout (contain a recycler view) still keep their height, and there's a white space (white is background color of CoordinatorLayout ) at bottom of sreen.
What is problem and how can fix it?
Thank you!
