Don't collapse Toolbar when RecyclerView fits the screen

Paolo Rotolo picture Paolo Rotolo · Sep 4, 2015 · Viewed 15.5k times · Source


I've made an app using Android Design Library, with a Toolbar and TabLayout.
Actually 2 tabs are present, both with 2 RecyclerView, that automatically collapse the Toolbar when scrolled.

My question is: can I disable Toolbar collapsing when RecyclerView has few items and completely fits the screen (like in TAB 2)?

I've seen a lot of examples like CheeseSquare, made by a Google employee where the issue is still present: even if the RecyclerView has just 1 item, the toolbar keeps hiding on scroll.

enter image description here

I think I can just find out if the first item of the RecyclerView is visible on screen and if yes disable toolbar collapsing. The former is easy to implement, what about the latter?

This is my layout:

<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/coordinator_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlwaysCollapsed"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@color/glucosio_pink"
            app:tabSelectedTextColor="@android:color/white"
            app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/glucosio_accent"
            app:tabTextColor="#80ffffff"/>
        </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/pager"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/main_fab"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:onClick="onFabClicked"
        app:backgroundTint="@color/glucosio_accent"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_add_black_24dp"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
        />
    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Final Solution (thanks Michał Z.)

Methods to turn off/on Toolbar scrolling:

public void turnOffToolbarScrolling() {
    Toolbar mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    AppBarLayout appBarLayout = (AppBarLayout) findViewById(R.id.appbar_layout);

    //turn off scrolling
    AppBarLayout.LayoutParams toolbarLayoutParams = (AppBarLayout.LayoutParams) mToolbar.getLayoutParams();
    toolbarLayoutParams.setScrollFlags(0);
    mToolbar.setLayoutParams(toolbarLayoutParams);

    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams appBarLayoutParams = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appBarLayout.getLayoutParams();
    appBarLayoutParams.setBehavior(null);
    appBarLayout.setLayoutParams(appBarLayoutParams);
}

public void turnOnToolbarScrolling() {
    Toolbar mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    AppBarLayout appBarLayout = (AppBarLayout) findViewById(R.id.appbar_layout);

    //turn on scrolling
    AppBarLayout.LayoutParams toolbarLayoutParams = (AppBarLayout.LayoutParams) mToolbar.getLayoutParams();
    toolbarLayoutParams.setScrollFlags(AppBarLayout.LayoutParams.SCROLL_FLAG_SCROLL | AppBarLayout.LayoutParams.SCROLL_FLAG_ENTER_ALWAYS);
    mToolbar.setLayoutParams(toolbarLayoutParams);

    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams appBarLayoutParams = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appBarLayout.getLayoutParams();
    appBarLayoutParams.setBehavior(new AppBarLayout.Behavior());
    appBarLayout.setLayoutParams(appBarLayoutParams);
}


Find out if last item of RecyclerView is visible in my Fragment.
If yes, disable scrolling:

public void updateToolbarBehaviour(){
    if (mLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == items.size()-1) {
        ((MainActivity) getActivity()).turnOffToolbarScrolling();
    } else {
        ((MainActivity)getActivity()).turnOnToolbarScrolling();
    }
}
