How to make the toolbar appear when switching between fragments using CoordinatorLayout, Toolbar and fragment

Question

I'm using the layout below, The CoordinatorLayout holds inside it AppBarLayout (With Toolbar) and the fragment layout.

I'm using app:layout_scrollFlags in my Toolbar and app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" in the fragment, so the Toolbar appear and disappear (hide/show) with scrolling my fragment content.

My problem: when I scroll in fragment A and therefore the toolbar disappear, then I use the BottomNavigationView to go to fragment B the toolbar remains hidden. I want the toolbar to appear every time I open new fragment.

Answer 1

I would assume that the xml you posted is your layout for your MainActivity(), if so create a reference to your Toolbar in your MainActivty and create a function in your MainActivty() to access/change your Toolbar collapse states.

In your Fragments, create a reference to your MainActivity to then access the function to change the state of your Toolbar.

I cannot test as from work, but I have used same code flow to do the same stuff when using only MainActivity with Inner Fragments as the navigation flow of the app.

Below not exact working or tested code, but same idea/flow

//my fragment function to access MainActivity().changeToolbarState(boolean)
changeToolbar(state: boolean) {
    if(state){
      //true
      //show toolbar
      MainActivty().changeToolbarState(true)

    }else{
      //false
      //collapse/hidetoolbar
     MainActivty().changeToolbarState(false)
    }
}
