I have defined a basic Coordinator layout for my view:
<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"
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:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabIndicatorColor="@color/white"
app:tabMode="fixed"/>
</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.CoordinatorLayout>
There are multiple tabs in my view pager. I am posting one of my simple fragments:
<ListView
android:id="@+id/transferList"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"></ListView>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="@drawable/ic_add_white" />
What happens is that the FAB goes out of screen. It's just not the FAB, but other fragments with cardviews/listviews are getting cut off at the bottom of the screen. I looked around for a solution, and came up with a hacky solution: Removing the property app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" from the Toolbar.
I can't understand what might be causing this to happen, and how removing the above solved the problem. Is it some bug in the support library? Is there a better way to solve this? Another solution I had come across is from here - to keep the FAB button directly under a Coordinator layout in the activity, and make it visible only in the fragment you need. Did not seem like a good solution to me. Also, other views in my fragments were also getting cut off.
