CoordinatorLayout using the ViewPager's RecyclerView

I am using the view CoordinatorLayout from android.support.design. I want to attach the app:layout_behavior to the fragment's RecyclerView?

In the example given by Google, they only attach it in the RecyclerView of the same XML file where the CoordinatorLayout was attached.

Is there a way to attach CoordinatorLayout to the fragment's RecyclerView within the ViewPager?

The sample is in this blog post at Android Developers blog.

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.

<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>

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/frame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I recently had the same problem mentioned in the post, and the above solutions did not work for me. Luckily I managed to solve it. So just to share I am posting here

The problem was that in my code I had set

recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);

due to which the appbar was not responding to recyclerView's scrolls despite setting the layout_behaviour attribute to the viewPager. Changing the above-mentioned attribute to

recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);

solved the problem and the appbar started responding to the recylerView's scroll.
