Toolbar not displaying from inside collapsing toolbar

Question

Here is the 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"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:layout_width="match_parent">



    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="100dp">



        <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout

            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="match_parent"

            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|exitUntilCollapsed">



            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

                android:id="@+id/mytoolbar"

                android:layout_width="match_parent"

                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"

                app:title="@string/app_name"

                app:layout_collapseMode="pin"

                app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>



            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

                android:id="@+id/main_tablayout"

                android:layout_width="match_parent"

                android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                android:layout_gravity="bottom"

                app:layout_collapseMode="none"/>





    </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>



    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>



    <!--<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView-->

        <!--android:id="@+id/nestedscroll"-->

        <!--android:layout_width="match_parent"-->

        <!--android:layout_height="match_parent"-->

        <!--android:fillViewport="true"-->

        <!--android:scrollbars="horizontal"-->

        <!--app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">-->



            <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

                android:id="@+id/main_viewpager"

                android:layout_width="match_parent"

                android:layout_height="match_parent"

                app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>



    <!--</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>-->



    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton

        android:id="@+id/main_fab"

        android:layout_margin="16dp"

        android:src="@android:drawable/ic_media_play"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        app:layout_anchor="@id/main_viewpager"

        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|end"/>



</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

The problem:

1) Toolbar is not visible.

2) Collapsing toolbar doesn't collapse at all. [Solved]

3) Viewpager and FAB also not visible if put inside nestedScrollView. [Solved]

Extra detail:

Layout for fragments of Viewpager have Linearlayout as root and inside that have a recyclerview.

Everything seems to be alright as per the code. Unable to understand what is missing. A good explanation of how coordinator layout and collapsing toolbar work together would also indeed help.

Answer 1

1) Toolbar is not visible.

First of all you need define what Toolbar do you want to use in your activity class:

 Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
 setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

Change existing xml code:

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:title="@string/app_name"
            app:layout_collapseMode="parallax">
        </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

to:

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"  //set initial height
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" //this might be also useful
            app:title="@string/app_name"
            app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />

2) Collapsing toolbar doesn't collapse at all.

Did your activity using correct theme. Set to your AppBarLayout:

android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"

as in this example: include_list_viewpager.xml

3) Viewpager and FAB also not visible if put inside nestedScrollView.

There's no reason to do that. Adding these lines:

android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize" 
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

to ViewPager should be enough.

Both of them should be direct children of CoordinatorLayout.
