TabLayout goes under the content of Framelayout


I have a FrameLayout that includes a TabLayout and a ViewPager inside it. Obviously the ViewPager loads a fragment. Now the problem is that TabLayout goes under the content of fragment when it's loaded and therefore disappears.

        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/content_frame"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1" >

            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

            <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
                android:id="@+id/viewpager"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"/>

        </FrameLayout>

How do I fix it?

EDIT:

using the following code I was able to make it work but now the tabs are always stuck to the top when scrolling... anyway to fix that?

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/content_frame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/sliding_tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="2"/>
</LinearLayout>

Solution

  • Change to a vertical LinearLayout. Then the ViewPager will appear beneath the TabLayout instead of drawing over it.
