CoordinatorLayout using the ViewPager's RecyclerView
Chris Banes has posted a sample on Github which shows exactly what you want to do.
Here is the xml file that defines how one can indirectly attach a coordinator layout to the viewpager's fragments.
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/main_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:id="@+id/appbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" /> <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout android:id="@+id/tabs" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="@+id/viewpager" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" /> <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton android:id="@+id/fab" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="end|bottom" android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin" android:src="@drawable/ic_done" /></android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
The idea is to let the viewpager have the layout_behavior attribute.
This might be dumb, but it didn't worked due to the fact that the build tool was not updated in the build.gradle
of the application version to 22, I was using 21 that is why it is not working as expected to be.
Edit:
Also what SanderTuit said: adding com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.0
will also solve the problem
Use a FrameLayout and inject your fragment into that FrameLayout. Then set app:layout_behavior to it. The only thing you need to do is set layout_behavior to a sibling of AppBayLayout and that sibling will below the toolbar.
