Unable to get AppCompat ActionBar/Toolbar to become an overlay

Unable to get AppCompat ActionBar/Toolbar to become an overlay - android

So, I have a Toolbar which I'm setting as my supportActionBar, which I want to be in overlay mode. At this point I feel like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to work.
Here's the styles I currently have:
<style name="Theme.ArgleBargle" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="vpiIconPageIndicatorStyle">#style/Widget.IconPageIndicator</item>
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">#style/Widget.TabPageIndicator</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/background</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomActionBar" parent="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<!-- Support library compatibility -->
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
And here's the code for my Toolbar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/actionbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:theme="#style/CustomActionBar"/>
And finally, here's where I'm setting it in the Activity:
actionbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.actionbar);;
setSupportActionBar(actionbar);
I've also tried calling getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY) with no luck.

So, it turns out the issue was simultaneously totally simple, and yet not obvious (to me, at least). Basically the issue is that although the Toolbar is being set as the Actionbar, it is still at the end of the day a layout element declared in XML. So, the trick is of course to make sure it overlaps in the XML. Here's a sample from my layout, now:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/actionbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
All works as expected now. Hope this can help someone else if they have the same issue!

Toolbar behaving really strangely

In my app I have two activities right now. The first one, LoginActivity, has Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar as its theme. The other one, ClientesActivity, has an <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> and a custom android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar. They used to behave correctly. When I updated to Build Tools 27.0.1, Gradle 3.0.1 and Support Library 27.0.2, they all started looking like this:
LoginActivity
ClientesActivity
Here's the code:
styles.xml
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#FAFAFA</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppThemeNoBar" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
clientes_activity.xml
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:title="Carrito">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<!-- Some more irrelevant stuff -->
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Please someone tell me how to fix them back!
PS: They were blue and with white text, as any toolbar (the custom one had white buttons).

OK, I found the solution by myself while removing stuff. I discovered that from some support library version, android:background in a style affects only the Toolbar (WTF?). I removed the <item name="android:background">#FAFAFA</item>
and it worked. Now, how can I default a background colour from a theme? (Answer in the comments, cba to make a whole new question about this)

Status bar turns white and does not show content behind it

I am trying out AppCompat on Marshmallow. And I want to have a transparent status bar however it turns white. I've tried a couple solutions but they didn't work for me (Transparent status bar not working with windowTranslucentNavigation="false", Lollipop : draw behind statusBar with its color set to transparent). Here's related code.
My styles.xml
<style name="Bacon" parent="Theme.Bacon"/>
<style name="Theme.Bacon" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/theme_primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/theme_primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/theme_accent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/background_material_light</item>
</style>
<style name="Theme.Bacon.Detail" parent="Bacon"/>
v21
<style name="Bacon" parent="Theme.Bacon">
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>

<style name="Theme.Bacon.Detail" parent="Bacon">

I found the answer in this link:Status Bar Color not changing with Relative Layout as root element
So it turns out we need remove the
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
in styles.xml(v21). And it works just fine for me.

(A little late to the party but it might help someone)
I had the exact same problem. Somehow, some activities were normal while new ones I created were showing white status bar instead of colorPrimaryDark value.
After trying several tips, I noticed that the normal-working activities where all using CoordinatorLayout as the root of the layout, while for the others I had replaced it by regular layouts because I didn't need the features (animation, etc) provided by CoordinatorLayout.
So the solution is to make CoordinatorLayout the root layout, and then inside of it add your former layout root. Here is an example:
<?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: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.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>
<!-- your activity content here-->
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
PLEASE NOTE that without android:fitsSystemWindows="true" this solution doesn't work for me.
Tested on Lollipop and Marshmallow

You have to add this property on your style to see the content
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar" tools:ignore="NewApi">true</item>

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
</style
Just Replace this , statusBarColor should be your expected color and not TRANSPARENT

Add this in your style.xml
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
and this in your onCreate();
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);

Just put this item in your v21\styles.xml :
true
It should look like this :
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>

After unsuccessfully trying all of the above I found that explicitly setting the theme fixed the issue.
setTheme(R.style.AppTheme);
That has to go before the super.OnCreate() in your activity.

I faced the same issue. What i did was, in the "v21/styles.xml" file a changed the value true:
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
to:
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">false</item>

<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
You'll see that line of code in values/styles/styles.xml(v21) . Remove it and that solves the issue

I fixed my issue by changing my Activity layout from FrameLayout to RelativeLayout. Thanks everybody who tried to help!
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/transparent">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/theme_primary_dark"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try hierarchy-viewer or ViewInspector. These tools might help you.

Just remove following tag from style v21
#android:color/transparent
This works for me.

I have found solution for this -
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
</style>
add this into your style and it will work for api 21 or above.

Better approach
Check your style.xml file where your NoActionBar theme is there.
Make sure its has parent as Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar and also customize it by adding your color scheme. Finally set your themes in manifest as required.
Below is sample of my styles.xml file (ActionBar + NoActionBar).
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<!-- No ActionBar application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

For styles v23
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
For styles v21
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/white</item>
</style>

If your v21/styles.xml contain
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
</resources>
Then,
Remove or comment below line or change colour of status bar,
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
Its working fine. Hope this is helpful. Thanks.

For me it worked by doing the following :
Set the theme .NoActionBar
Wrap the Toolbar in android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
Make android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout as the parent layout.
Essentially it is the third step that draws the status bar in the colorPrimaryDark otherwise it is not drawn if you using NoActionBar theme.
2nd step will give your toolbar that overlay.

[
Expand res -> values -> styles directory from project panel.
Open styles.xml (v21)
USE ANY ONE FROM BELOW WAYS
Change true to false in android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds property.
Change #android:color/transparent to #color/colorPrimaryDark in android:statusBarColor property.
Remove the android:statusBarColor propert line.

I'm not sure if it's late but i hope it helps someone.
* Make a fake view with transparent background that fits the layout, and make a coordinatorlayout as your root layout element.
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/something" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
.... YOUR LAYOUT

you want this right?
try this. in [value] - [style.xml]
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
</style>
you know, don't match apptheme - parent
good luck

Inside onCreate add the following:
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_STATUS_BAR);
getWindow().setStatusBarColor(Color.WHITE);
and below
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

My guess is that this is caused by your android:windowBackground. Is #color/background_material_light a reference to white?

Check this
Toolbar turns white - AppBar isn't drawn after being scrolled off screen
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=178037#c19
I'm using libraries 23.0.0. and the bug still occurs.
Workaround for this is adding View that takes nearly no space and can be invisible. See the structure below.
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height=".3dp"
android:visibility="visible"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
This Questions on Stackoverflow.com refer to this bug too:
CoordinatorLayout Toolbar invisible on enter until full height
AppBarLayout - Layout sometimes invisible once it enters view (even if it's not entered)

If you are using RelativeLayout / CoordinatorLayout this is the solution that worked for me:
You have to use
CoordinatorLayout
AppBarLayout
Rember to use CoordinatorLayout instead of RelativeLayout (the performance is better and perfectly works with AppBarLayout)
This is how your fragment should starts
<?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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/background_light"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/main.appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
>
...
Good coding!

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
add the 'windowTranslucentStatus' item in styles

Add this in your style.xml
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
Note : Status bar coloring is not supported below API level 21.

Window window = this.getWindow();
window.setStatusBarColor(this.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
Add this 2 line in java file below

Toolbar is not visible on Android 4.X devices

I just updated android.support:appcompat lib to 22.1.1.
Toolbar is visible on a Lollipop device but not on a 4.X device.
I have even tried extending AppCompatActivity, but still no luck. If anything else is required please let me know.
Here is my project styles and base activity xml file.
styles.xml
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primarydark</item>

</style>
activity_base.xml

Update :
Issue is with layout inflated in container part. it is overlapping toolbar so i have removed all views and it worked.
Thanks all...

Toolbar overlapping below status bar

I want to have appcompat v21 toolbar in my activity. But the toolbar I'm implementing is overlapping below status bar. How can I fix it?
Here is the activity layout xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
Toolbar view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
Theme style:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="MaterialNavigationDrawerTheme.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
</style>

Use android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in the root view of your layout (LinearLayout in your case).

Just set this to v21/styles.xml file
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
and be sure
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">false</item>

For me, the problem was that I copied something from an example and used
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
just removing this fixed my problem.

None of the answers worked for me, but this is what finally worked after I set:
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
In parent activity layout file it's not suggested at many places but it's work for me and saves my day

None of the answers worked for me, but this is what finally worked after i set android:fitSystemWindows on the root view(I set these in styles v21):
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">false</item>
Make sure you don't have the following line as AS puts it by default:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>

I removed all lines mentioned below from /res/values-v21/styles.xml and now it is working fine.
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>

According google docs ,we should not use fitsSystemWindows attribute in app theme, it is intended to use in layout files. Using in themes can causes problem in toast messages .
Check Issue here & example of problem caused here
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
Example of using correct way and which works fine with windowTranslucentStatus as well.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:background="#color/white"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_drawer_header"
app:menu="#menu/navigation_drawer_menu" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Remove below lines from style or style(21)
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">false</item>

There are so many reason to happen this.. firstly you must check your them how it was going on..
<style name="AppTheme" parent="BaseAppTheme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/secondary_text</item>
</style>
if you use <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item> this code in your theme it should be overlap your action bar. you can use it false for solving this problem.
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">false</item>.
or if you want to keep it as true please use
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item> as true. You have another option to use this. you can use android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
this inside the root view of particular xml file.

To prevent the Toolbar from overlapping the status bar, add these lines to your theme
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
it worked for me

Why is using a material AppCompat theme causing full screen?

I'm trying to switch over an app to use Theme.Material, I have a toolbar setup with fitsSystemWindows set to true yet my activity extends below the navigation bars!!
Here's my theme
<style name="FlowTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">false</item>
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
<item name="cpvColor">#color/accent</item>
<item name="cpvStrokeWidth">3dp</item>
<item name="cpvCircleAnimDuration">1400</item>
<item name="cpvSweepAnimDuration">950</item>
</style>
Nothing is triggerend in my activity to flag fullscreen
What's going on? how do I fix this so that it's not fullscreen?
Edit: Here's my main activity XML

this is the reason
Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar // i show no actionbar..
put this in your activity xml layout, if its linearLayout let it be the first child, if its RelativeLayout let it be on top and all children should align to it..
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar 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="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/FlowTheme" />

As it turns out I was using this class, for a core WebView bug fix https://github.com/madebycm/AndroidBug5497Workaround
Removing it's use fixed my issue, however the WebView resize bug lives on...

You are using wrap_content in your toolbar, and if you havent given support to it, then it hasn't content to show. I recomend you that change the height of the toolbar to:
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
And you should give support in your java file to show the title and buttons:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_actionbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
EDIT: I read some of other replies, and I add more info because I suppose that you had the toolbar defined in other xml. This is an example of toolbar that you should include:
<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="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:translationZ="4dp"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
