Android AppBarLayout With BottomNavigationView: Hide Toolbar on Scroll With Fixed BottomNavigationView

September 29, 2019

TLDR

To avoid BottomNavigationView hidden when scrolling, BottomNavigationView must not be within layout with app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior".

Setup Activity with AppBarLayout

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
    <application ...>
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

        <!-- <include layout="@layout/main_content" /> -->
        <FrameLayout

    <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView

        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />

</RelativeLayout>

NOTE: BottomNavigationView must not be within layout with app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" to avoid being hidden/covered during scroll event.

NOTE: Add app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" to Toolbar to enable hide toolbar on scroll.
