Menu
I have created an activity and set toolbar as the actionbar which i have positioned at the bottom.
Inside that activity, I have a listview that contain some data.
Problem is, when I long press a list item, contextual action bar appears at the top instead of overlaying my toolbar which is positioned at the bottom.
my activity theme
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="myActivityTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
</style>
my toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:id="@+id/toorbar"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:layout_gravity="bottom">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
my activity
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
ToolBar toolbar =(ToolBar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
}
What should i do to make CAB overlay my toolbar?
EDIT
This is onCreateActionMode method in my class that handle long clicks
private class Selector implements AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener{
@Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(android.view.ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
mode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my_activity_menu,menu);
toolbar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return true;
}

if you are using custom toolbar or ActionBar and you want to get reference of your toolbar/action bar from Fragments then you need to first get instance of your Main Activity from Fragment's onCreateView Method like below. ImageView vRightBtn = activity. toolbar.
An Action bar is traditionally a part of an Activity opaque window decor controlled by the framework but a Toolbar may be placed at any level of nesting within a view hierarchy. The toolbar provides more feature than ActionBar . A Toolbar may contain a combination of elements from start to end.
Show back button using actionBar. setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) this will enable the back button. Custom the back event at onOptionsItemSelected. This will enable the back function to the button on the press.
All action buttons and other items available in the action overflow are defined in an XML menu resource. To add actions to the action bar, create a new XML file in your project's res/menu/ directory. The app:showAsAction attribute specifies whether the action should be shown as a button on the app bar.
If you want the Contextual ActionBar overlap over Toolbar then use this
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
instead of
<item name="android:windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
This worked For me,
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
</style>
