Android AppBarLayout

This is what I want

This is what it looks like

1 is what I want to archive, but what it looks like atm is 2

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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:orientation="vertical"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
            app:title="Edit Profile"
            app:titleTextColor="@android:color/white" />
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>


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

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I tried almost every solution on Stack Overflow,

e.g.

fitsSystemWindows="true"

<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>

and many more..

I don't think it should be this difficult. Any suggestions or example projects are appreciated.

Solution

  • I just figured it out, but I don't know how.

    I tried all the possible android:fitsSystemWindows="true" combinations before but none of the combination worked, but after I changed bunch of layouts, it's just suddenly fixed.

    I tracked down every single lines of code changes, and it turned out I should remove android:fitsSystemWindows="true" option from the AppBarLayout.

    It's really weird because I tried exactly the same thing about 3 times before, but it didn't have any effect on the layout.

    I think it's probably a caching issue or some bug on annoying Android Studio again..

    If anyone suffer from similar issues with me, I would recommend 1. clean project 2. remove the layout entirely and put it back to see the actual changes

    I wasted about 5 hours on this problem and the lesson is just "don't trust Android Studio"
