How to prevent bottom navigation from hiding when scrolling a CoordinatorLayout

Question

I added a ListView with a collapsing toolbar at the top and bottom navigation at the bottom. My problem is that the bottom navigation keeps hiding when scrolling up. I want it to stay visible. I enabled nested scrolling programmatically. I tried many solutions, none of them worked.

This is my problem and my XML at the bottom:

This my main.xml

Answer 1

use a ConstraintLayout as a Root ViewGroup , and wrap in it the CoordinatorLayout , and the BottomNavigation

Then you can need to add some padding at the end of the ListView

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/_coordinator"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
            android:id="@+id/_app_bar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
           
            <com.google.android.material.appbar.CollapsingToolbarLayout
                android:id="@+id/collapse"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
                app:contentScrim="#000000"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|snap">

                <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar

            android:choiceMode="none"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
