AppBarLayout with recyclerView in nested fragment

Question

As images are always better than words, I present to you my current layout.

The toolbar/tabs is in an activity.xml with a viewPager, and the recyclerView is inside a fragment within the viewPager. So you can swipe right/left to see other content.

My issue is that I want the AppBarLayout to be binded in its scrolling behaviour to the recyclerView in the first fragment, but not to the other fragments.

In the code below, I did this binding but it doesn't work because the recyclerView doesn't recognize the AppBarLayout in the outer layout. Do you have a workaround for this ?

Code for the activity :

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:fab="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    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.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar_main"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            /* pretty stuff */
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways">

            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:id="@+id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                /* pretty stuff */ />

        </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

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

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/main_pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <android.support.design.widget.SupportFloatingActionsMenu
           ...>
           /* Code for a fancy fab w/ menu */

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

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

For the fragment containing the recyclerView :

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.insa.burnd.view.MainActivity.NewsfeedFragment"
    android:id="@+id/fragment_newsfeed">

    <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
        android:id="@+id/swipe_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

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

Thank you very much :) !

What's with all the crazy code/layouts?

In the fragments where you don't want the toolbar to scroll, do this in the fragment's onCreateView():

    recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
