I have a RecyclerView
inside a ViewPager
that only occupies the bottom half of the screen, and what I want to do is have the entire screen scroll if the RecyclerView
s received a vertical scroll event.
UI hierarchy in a nutshell:
CoordinatorLayout
--- AppBarLayout
--- Toolbar
--- Bunch of static LinearLayouts, occupy most of screen
--- TabLayout
--- ViewPager
--- Fragments with RecyclerView
What I have:
To my understanding, a RecyclerView
is memory-efficient and tries to fit itself in whatever space is available in the screen. In my app, I have a ViewPager
hosting multiple tabs, each of which have a RecyclerView
to display different things.
Could you please give me some ideas of what I could do to make the whole screen scroll? I'm guessing the best shot is to add a CollapsingToolbarLayout
with parallax to the static content in the middle of the screen. I even tried to do this, but the UI was completely broken. It's difficult since I only want the content in the middle of the screen to scroll out, not the toolbars on top. I didn't have much luck with a NestedScrollView
either, apparently its compatibility with ViewPager
and CoordinatorLayout
is not straight-forward..
What I want:
Main Activity Layout:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
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"
>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar_contributor"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
android:id="@+id/searchview_contributor"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_search_white_24dp"
app:defaultQueryHint="Bla bla"
app:iconifiedByDefault="false"/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_person_outline_black_24dp"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:text="La Bla"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:text="Bla Bla"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<!-- Bunch of stuff, but irrelevant -->
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tablayout_profile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/viewpager_profile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
The fragment inside the Viewpager:
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerview_photos"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>
Thanks in advance!
