Scroll to Collapse View without Toolbar

Question

I'm making a layout similar to recent android's status bar.

I have two Views inside container. ViewPager and RecyclerView. The default behavior should be that when I scroll RecyclerView, I want ViewPager to decrease in size and vice versa.

Logic:

viewPagerMaxHeight = 200;
if scrollTop
  is ViewPager.height > viewPagerMaxHeight?
    YES: Prevent Scroll and Decrease ViewPager size apropriatry
    No: Scroll RecyclerView
if scrollBottom
  did we scroll to position 0?
    YES: Start increasing ViewPager size
    No: Scroll RecyclerView

Few notes: - RecyclerView contains items of various size. - Sometimes items are removed and added - It is a simple RecyclerView, not like in notifications where they collapse on each other.

I can construct most of the logic myself but I could not make a proper listener for RecyclerView which will return direction and amount that was scrolled. preventing RecyclerView from scrolling is a bonus

EDIT:

I have made an example on github

v.setOnScrollChangeListener(new NestedScrollView.OnScrollChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrollChange(NestedScrollView v, int scrollX, int scrollY, int oldScrollX, int oldScrollY) {
        Log.e("scrollY", ""+scrollY);
        Log.e("oldScrollY", ""+oldScrollY);
        Log.e("currentHeight", ""+currentHeight);
        if(scrollY == 200) {
            Log.e("==200", "JU");
        } else if (scrollY < 200) {
            Log.e("<200", ""+currentHeight);

            if(currentHeight < fullHeight) {
                Log.e("current<full", Integer.toString(deltaScroll));
                deltaScroll = oldScrollY - scrollY;
                currentHeight = currentHeight + deltaScroll;
                if(currentHeight > fullHeight) {
                    currentHeight = fullHeight;
                }
                ku.getLayoutParams().height = currentHeight;
                ku.requestLayout();
            }
            v.scrollTo(0, 200);
        } else if (scrollY > oldScrollY) {
            Log.e("Scroll DOWN", "" + Integer.toString(scrollY));
            deltaScroll = scrollY - oldScrollY;
            currentHeight = currentHeight - deltaScroll;
            if(currentHeight > minHeight) {
                ku.getLayoutParams().height = currentHeight;
                ku.requestLayout();
                v.scrollTo(0, 200);

            } else {
                currentHeight = minHeight;
                ku.getLayoutParams().height = minHeight;
                ku.requestLayout();
            }

        }
    }
});

I'm setting padding for RecycleView and scrolling NestedScrollView to the first item so the padding is not visible. this allows me to scroll TOP even when already at the TOP.

Everything seems to work, but as you will notice scrolling is "jumpy" when scrolling slowly (won't happen if scrolled fast enough). My guess is that is happening because NestedScrollView itself changes height and while scrolling up for example, scroll down happens as well.

The above is totally doable with the help of ConstraintLayout and Guideline. So when you scroll up set the guideline programmatically to minimum and when you scroll down set the guildline back to normal.

Below is a xml sample for the same

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 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"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">


    <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/viewPagerTopGuideline"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.1" />


    <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/viewPagerBottomGuideline"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5" />

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewPager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/viewPagerBottomGuideline"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/viewPagerTopGuideline">

    </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/viewPagerBottomGuideline"/>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

You can place the views inside a NestedScrollViewas well. Then onscroll you can set the guideline like this

 @BindView(R.id.viewPagerBottomGuideline)
Guideline guideLine;//have Used ButterKnife

ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams params = (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) guideLine.getLayoutParams();
            params.guidePercent = 0.20f; // 45% // range: 0 <-> 1
            guideLine.setLayoutParams(params);

I have just implemented on scroll up, then you would have to implement the same for scroll down as well.
