In android default tabbed activity, fragment doesn't fit the screen as height and actionBar is movable

Question

I simply created a TabbedActivity on Android Studio 1.5.1. I didn't change any code but Fragment doesn't fit the screen as height and ActionBar is movable.

Views that at the bottom are invisible. I need to move ActionBar up to see bottom views.(See the video please: Video )

So, i have 2 questions:

1. After i put ListView in Fragment, how can i move ActionBar up smoothly when user scrolls ListView? (WhatsApp and Viber are using this technique)

2.How can i prevent ActionBar from moving and align Fragment to bottom of screen?

Here is the Main Activity that android created:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

/**
 * The {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that will provide
 * fragments for each of the sections. We use a
 * {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which will keep every
 * loaded fragment in memory. If this becomes too memory intensive, it
 * may be best to switch to a
 * {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
 */
private SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

/**
 * The {@link ViewPager} that will host the section contents.
 */
private ViewPager mViewPager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
    // primary sections of the activity.
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    // Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter.
    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.container);
    mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);

    FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show();
        }
    });

}


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

/**
 * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
 */
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
    /**
     * The fragment argument representing the section number for this
     * fragment.
     */
    private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";

    public PlaceholderFragment() {
    }

    /**

     * number.
     */
    public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) {
        PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber);
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
        TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
        textView.setText(getString(R.string.section_format, getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
        return rootView;
    }
}

public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
        // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class below).
        return PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // Show 3 total pages.
        return 3;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                return "SECTION 1";
            case 1:
                return "SECTION 2";
            case 2:
                return "SECTION 3";
        }
        return null;
      }
   }
}

Activity_main.xml:

EDIT:

I think i need to change this line of container:

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

EDIT2: When i delete the code that i mention in 1. edit, fragment align to bottom but start of fragment align to top of screen, i mean fragment goes behind actionBar.

Answer 1

I am running Android 2, so I am not sure whether this applies for 1.5.

Inside main activity xml, as being auto generated by Android there's Toolbar widget:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay">

When I removed this line:

        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"

...all problems gone.

The screen does not scroll anymore and the screen height is calculated correctly so you get to see all views inside whatever you were displaying on (fragment or activity)

So I would concentrate on investigating that line:

    app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"

Answer 2

After i put ListView in fragment, how can i move ActionBar up smoothly when user scrolls listView? (WhatsApp and Viber are using this technique)

First of all, better/or let's say you have to use RecyclerView with:

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

As mentioned here:(Added in the below)

https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Handling-Scrolls-with-CoordinatorLayout#responding-to-scroll-events

And about that design like WhatsApp, i used below codes:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/root_coordinator"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
                android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
                app:tabIndicatorColor="#ffffff"
                app:tabIndicatorHeight="4dp"
                app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

            <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
                android:id="@+id/pager"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />

        </LinearLayout>

        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:elevation="0dp">

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
                app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
                app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

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

        <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/fab"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
            android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_send_white_18dp"
            app:backgroundTint="@color/colorAccent" />

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

When i delete the code that i mention in 1. edit, fragment align to bottom but start of fragment align to top of screen, i mean fragment goes behind actionBar.

You must add:

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"

For using the contents under the AppBarLayout and fixing everything.

See: https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Handling-Scrolls-with-CoordinatorLayout#responding-to-scroll-events

Which says:

Note: AppBarLayout currently expects to be the first child nested within a CoordinatorLayout according to the official Google docs.

Next, we need to define an association between the AppBarLayout and the View that will be scrolled. Add an app:layout_behavior to a RecyclerView or any other View capable of nested scrolling such as NestedScrollView. The support library contains a special string resource @string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior that maps to AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior, which is used to notify the AppBarLayout when scroll events occur on this particular view. The behavior must be established on the view that triggers the event.

Edit: And if you need to pin the Toolbar there, just use:

app:layout_collapseMode="pin"

Finally:

       <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_collapseMode="pin">
