Background
Suppose you have an app you've created that has a similar UI as the one you can create via the wizard of "scrolling activity", yet you wish the scrolling flags to have snapping, as such:
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout ... app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed|snap" >
The problem
As it turns out, on many cases it has issues of snapping. Sometimes the UI doesn't snap to top/bottom, making the CollapsingToolbarLayout stay in between.
Sometimes it also tries to snap to one direction, and then decides to snap to the other .
You can see both issues on the attached video here.
What I've tried
I thought it's one of the issues that I got for when I use setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) on a RecyclerView within, so I asked about it here, but then I noticed that even with the solution and without using this command at all and even when using a simple NestedScrollView (as is created by the wizard), I can still notice this behavior.
That's why I decided to report about this as an issue, here.
Sadly, I couldn't find any workaround for those weird bugs here on StackOverflow.
The question
Why does it occur, and more importantly: how can I avoid those issues while still using the behavior it's supposed to have?
EDIT: here's a nice improved Kotlin version of the accepted answer:
