Toolbar and TabLayout don't hide when I scroll the RecyclerView up

Question

I am having trouble getting the Toolbar and TabLayout to hide when I scroll up. I have 3 different xml files: 1) Toolbar , 2) TabLayoutFragment (here I have the TabLayout and ViewPager , and I include the toolbar here, and 3) HomeFragment (contains the RecyclerView ). I need for the Toolbar to hide when I scroll up, and I have seen in many other posts that most people use a CoordinatorLayout instead of a Relative Layout or Linear Layout , and then they have to add app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" which I have done, but I still can't get the Toolbar to hide when scrolling the RecyclerView up.

I've also added this to the RecyclerView , but still nothing... app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

Could someone point out what is missing here?

Answer 1

You can make it programmatically by adding the addOnScrollListener method.

On the RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING method hide the toolbar and TabLayout and on RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE method you can show it again if you want to show them again.

You can try it in such way:

recyclerview.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
    if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
        // Show your view again.. If you want to show them..
    } else if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING) {
        // Hide your view..
    }

    super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);

}});

Or You can use recycler view's addOnScrollListener method:

Refer: addOnScrollListener

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
@Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
    if (dy > 0) {
        //Scrolling down
        // Show your controllers from here
    } else if (dy < 0) {
        //Scrolling up
        // Hide your controllers from here
    }
}});

Also, you can add some animations there to show and hide your toolbar and tab layouts.

Answer 2

Place the toolbar and the tablayout within the ScrollView group to get the scrolling part.

<ScrollView>
   <Toolbar></Toolbar>
   <Tablayout></Tablayout>
</ScrollView>
