How to set ScrollView below in ImageView ? TNX <3

Answer 1

I assume you are trying to position views inside of the CollapsingToolbarLayout . The CollapsingToolbarLayout extends FrameLayout , so the only possibility is to position views is to utilize view margin and gravity. In your case you could position a ImageView like:

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="140dp" <-height of the ScrollView
/>

If you are trying to add the new ImageView directly to the CoordinatorLayout you can utilize a anchor :

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    app:layout_anchor="@+id/post_text_layout" <-view to anchor the imageview
    app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom" <- specifies edge of the anchor that should be used
    android:layout_gravity="bottom" <- how to position this view relatively to the anchoring position
