Need to disable expand on CollapsingToolbarLayout for certain fragments

Disable nested scrolling on the scrolling fragment content:

recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);

Use this if you're using the support library:

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(recyclerView, false);

Now, in v23 of support library you can easily control your appbar visibility.

Just get a reference to your AppBarLayout and hide/show it depending on the fragment you want to load:

private AppBarLayout appBarLayout;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
[...]
appBarLayout = (AppBarLayout) findViewById(R.id.appbar);
[...]
}

public void switchToFragment(Fragment fragment, String tag, boolean expandToolbar){
        FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

        Fragment currentFragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(currentFragmentTag);

        if(currentFragment == null || !TextUtils.equals(tag, currentFragmentTag) ){
            currentFragmentTag = tag;
            fragmentManager
                    .beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.flContent, fragment, currentFragmentTag)
                    .commit();

            if(expandToolbar){
                appBarLayout.setExpanded(true,true);
            }else{
                appBarLayout.setExpanded(false,true);
            }
        }
    }

P.S. don't forget to add the required dependencies in your build.gradle:

dependencies {  
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.1' 
}

EDIT: If you also want to lock your toolbar in certain fragments (apart from collapsing) you have to resort to workarounds as this feature is not provided by CollapsingToolbarLayout until now (v23.2.1 of support design). Here you can find my proposed workaround.


This class will let you disable/re-enable the expansion behavior.

public class DisableableAppBarLayoutBehavior extends AppBarLayout.Behavior {
    private boolean mEnabled;

    public DisableableAppBarLayoutBehavior() {
        super();
    }

    public DisableableAppBarLayoutBehavior(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        mEnabled = enabled;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onStartNestedScroll(CoordinatorLayout parent, AppBarLayout child, View directTargetChild, View target, int nestedScrollAxes) {
        return mEnabled && super.onStartNestedScroll(parent, child, directTargetChild, target, nestedScrollAxes);
    }

    public boolean isEnabled() {
        return mEnabled;
    }
}

Use it in your layout like so:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    ... other attributes ...
    app:layout_behavior="com.yourpackage.DisableableAppBarLayoutBehavior"
    >
    <!-- your app bar contents -->
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

Then, when you want to disable the behavior:

AppBarLayout myAppBar = ....;
CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) myAppBar.getLayoutParams();
((DisableableAppBarLayoutBehavior) layoutParams.getBehavior()).setEnabled(false);
