Don't collapse Toolbar when RecyclerView fits the screen

Question

I\'ve made an app using Android Design Library, with a Toolbar and TabLayout.
Actually 2 tabs are present, both with 2 RecyclerView, that automati

Answer 1

RecyclerView now (since version 23.2) supports wrap_content. Just use wrap_content as the height.

Answer 2

You can add within your XML, the property layout_behaviour with value @string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior this way:

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

Answer 3

If helps anyome in Kotlin based on correct answer, I did this for Kotlin:

fun changeToolbarScroll(isToScrolling: Boolean){

    val params = toolbar.layoutParams as AppBarLayout.LayoutParams
    val appBarLayoutParams = appBarLayout.layoutParams as 
                             CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams
    params.scrollFlags = 0
    toolbar.layoutParams = params
    appBarLayoutParams.behavior = null
    appBarLayout.layoutParams = appBarLayoutParams

    if(isToScrolling){
        params.scrollFlags =
            AppBarLayout.LayoutParams.SCROLL_FLAG_SCROLL or 
            AppBarLayout.LayoutParams.SCROLL_FLAG_ENTER_ALWAYS
        toolbar.layoutParams = params

        appBarLayoutParams.behavior = AppBarLayout.Behavior()
        appBarLayout.layoutParams = appBarLayoutParams
    }
}

In my case, I have a problem with a MainActivity that's manage navigation, toolbar and other shared things by 2 Fragments, the first Framgent use a RecyclerView and second is for show the deatil. The problems is when I set a Menu and change MenuItem from MainAcitivity

It can sound silly and totally logical but remember Always make chages to the Menu or MenuItems before call supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction() when change fragments otherwise don't work, or dont update properly, no matter changes in .add, .replace(), show()...

fun showDetailImageFragment(searchImage: SearchImage) {
    val searchFragment = 
    supportFragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(SEARCH_IMAGES)

    changeToolbarScroll(false)

    if (supportActionBar != null) {
        supportActionBar!!.collapseActionView()
        supportActionBar!!.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true)
        supportActionBar!!.title = getString(R.string.detail_image_title)
    }

    actionSearch.isVisible = false
    actionNighMOde.isVisible = false
    actionAppSetings.isVisible = false
    actionAbout.isVisible = false

    supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
        .setCustomAnimations(
            R.animator.fade_in,
            R.animator.fade_out,
            R.animator.fade_in,
            R.animator.fade_out
        )
        .hide(searchFragment!!)
        .add(
            R.id.frameLayout,
            DetailImageFragment().newInstance(searchImage)
        ).addToBackStack(null)
        .commit()
}

Add this code after you change data in your adapter:

recyclerView.afterMeasured {
    val isTurnedOff = recyclerView.turnOffNestedScrollingIfEnoughItems()
    if (isTurnedOff) appBarLayout.setExpanded(true)
}

And this is the functions:

inline fun <T: View> T.afterMeasured(crossinline action: T.() -> Unit) {
    viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
        override fun onGlobalLayout() {             
            viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
            action()
        }
    })
}


fun RecyclerView.turnOffNestedScrollingIfEnoughItems(): Boolean {
    val lm = (layoutManager as LinearLayoutManager)
    val count = if (lm.itemCount <= 0) 0 else lm.itemCount - 1
    val isFirstVisible = lm.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == 0
    val isLastItemVisible = lm.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == count

    isNestedScrollingEnabled = !(isLastItemVisible && isFirstVisible)
    return isNestedScrollingEnabled.not()
}
