This is what I want to achieve:

MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

  /**
   * The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
   * fragments for each of the sections. We use a
   * {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which will keep every
   * loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory intensive, it
   * may be best to switch to a
   * {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
   */
  private SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

  /**
   * The {@link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
   */
  private ViewPager mViewPager;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
    // primary sections of the activity.
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    // Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.container);
    mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);

    FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show();
        }
    });

  }

  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    return true;
  }

  @Override
  public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
      return true;
    }

After tinkering with your code in git, we can make a scrollable TabLayout by changing the fragment_main.xml to:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.vladislav.scrolable.MainActivity$PlaceholderFragment"
    >


  <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
      android:id="@+id/scrollView"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
      >


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/section_label"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />

  </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>

We must set the layout_width and layout_height of NestedScrollView to match_parent so that we can scroll the layout when we scrolling up the TextView.

Remember that we need to add the following code to NestedScrollView:

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

to inform AppBarLayout about the scrolling.

Please look at your Scrolable project after my edit in my Scrolable github.
