Toolbar in AppBarLayout is scrollable although RecyclerView has not enough content to scroll

Question

Is it really intended that the Toolbar in a AppBarLayout is scrollable although the main container with the "appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" has not enough content

Answer 1

I've implemented it using my own Behavior class which might be attached to AppBarLayout:

public class CustomAppBarLayoutBehavior extends AppBarLayout.Behavior {

private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private int additionalHeight;

public CustomAppBarLayoutBehavior(RecyclerView recyclerView, int additionalHeight) {
    this.recyclerView = recyclerView;
    this.additionalHeight = additionalHeight;
}

public boolean isRecyclerViewScrollable(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
    return recyclerView.computeHorizontalScrollRange() > recyclerView.getWidth() || recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollRange() > (recyclerView.getHeight() - additionalHeight);
}

@Override
public boolean onStartNestedScroll(CoordinatorLayout parent, AppBarLayout child, View directTargetChild, View target, int nestedScrollAxes) {
    if (isRecyclerViewScrollable(mRecyclerView)) {
        return super.onStartNestedScroll(parent, child, directTargetChild, target, nestedScrollAxes);
    }
    return false;
}

}

And below is the code how to set this behavior:

final View appBarLayout = ((DrawerActivity) getActivity()).getAppBarLayoutView();
CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appBarLayout.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.setBehavior(new AppBarLayoutNoEmptyScrollBehavior(recyclerView, getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.control_bar_height)));
