I want to achieve this:

What I thought was to make a Custom Toolbar with a bigger height and work with the tabhost and tabpager normally. I have implemented it, but the toolbar is showing the normal height, so it doesn't show as I want, just the top part. Is this the right approach or is it possible to set a TabHost below a Linear/Relative Layout? Because I don't need to work with it as an action bar.
Relevant Code
toolbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/toolbarTitle"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@color/black"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/img_logo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="55dp"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:src="@drawable/logo_home"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txt_version"
android:text="@string/app_version"
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:layout_below="@+id/img_logo"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
And this function in the Activity:
private void setupActionBar()
{
ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
ab.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
ab.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflator.inflate(R.layout.toolbar_title, null);
ab.setCustomView(v);
}
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/toolbarTitle"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@color/black"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize" //pay attention here
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"> //pay attention here
your ToolBar which is a ViewGroup is wraping its height around its children meaning it will get a fixed size only if the children are measured. your minimum height is around 50 to 60 dip, that is how low your ToolBar will be.
so if your children height do not add up to a reasonable big number it will still be <= 50
give it a prefered height android:layout_height="200dp"
