Android appcompat toolbar stretches when searchview gets focus

Question

I\'m updating an app to use the new Toolbar instead of the regular ActionBar. In my app the user must be able to select a contact from their contac

It seems like a old question but I want to address the real cause about this issue.

In fact, the fitsSystemWindows does not only add statusBar insets into your views padding, but also keyboard's height. So, when keyboard showed, your toolbar(which is the view who consumes window insets) will gain a bottom padding equals to your keyboard's height.

Move fitSystemWindows to root node do solve this problem, but sometimes we can't do that, for example we need toolbar's background to fill the statusbar.

So, the real solution for this issue, I think, is to tell view only consume top insets. Luckily, Android do offer a method for us to do that.

private static final View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener CONSUME_TOP_INSET_LISTENER = new View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener() {
    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT_WATCH)
    @Override
    public WindowInsets onApplyWindowInsets(View v, WindowInsets insets) {
        int b = v.getPaddingBottom();
        int l = v.getPaddingLeft();
        int r = v.getPaddingRight();

        v.setPadding(l, insets.getSystemWindowInsetTop(), r, b);
        int il = insets.getSystemWindowInsetLeft();
        int ir = insets.getSystemWindowInsetRight();
        int ib = insets.getSystemWindowInsetBottom();
        return insets.replaceSystemWindowInsets(il, 0, ir, ib);
    }
};
public static void makeViewConsumeTopWindowInsetsOnly(@NonNull View view) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT_WATCH) {
        view.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(CONSUME_TOP_INSET_LISTENER);
    }
}

Add above code to some place, and call this method with the view you want to consumes top insets.
