Stop scroll on CollapsingToolbarLayout so it doesn't completely collapse

Question

I have a CollapsingToolbarLayout setup and im placing a wallpaper there. I want to be able to stop it from collapsing all the way.

I have tried minheight and many other things but can't figure it out.

How can i get it to stop collapsing to the second screenshot?

View when activity is loaded

CollapsingToolbarLayout works really closely with Toolbar and as such the collapsed height depends on the toolbar.

I was able to solve your problem using this layout (Note it goes into the normal CoordinatorLayout/AppBarLayout Setup, With Fab and a NestedScrollView or RecyclerView):

<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout     android:id="@+id/collapsing_toolbar"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:fitsSystemWindows="true"     app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"     app:statusBarScrim="?attr/colorPrimaryDark"     app:contentScrim="@android:color/transparent"     app:titleEnabled="false"     >     <!-- There isnt a contentSCrim attribute so the toolbar is transparent after being          collapsed          Disabled the title also as you wont be needing it -->      <ImageView         android:id="@+id/image_v"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="360dp"         android:layout_gravity="center"         android:scaleType="centerCrop"         android:src="@drawable/md2"         android:fitsSystemWindows="true"         app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"         tools:ignore="ContentDescription"         />         <!-- Normal Imageview. Nothing interesting -->      <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar         android:id="@+id/toolbar"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="168dp"         app:layout_collapseMode="pin"         app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"         />         <!-- The toolbar is styled normally. However we disable the title also in code.         Toolbar height is the main component that determines the collapsed height -->      <TextView         android:text="@string/app_name"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_gravity="bottom"         android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark"         android:paddingLeft="72dp"         android:paddingRight="0dp"         android:paddingBottom="24dp"         android:paddingTop="24dp"         android:textColor="@android:color/white"         android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Headline"         />         <!-- The title textView -->  </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout> 

The related activity looks like this:

    ...     setSupportActionBar((Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar));     getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);      // Disable toolbar title     getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);     ...
