Need to disable expand on CollapsingToolbarLayout for certain fragments

Question

I have an AppCompatActivity that controls replacing many fragments. Here is my layout for it.

activity_main.xml

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <include layout="@layout/activity_main_frame"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:background="@color/white"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

activity_main_frame.xml

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

                android:scaleType="centerCrop"
                android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
                app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />

            <include layout="@layout/activity_main_items"/>

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:visibility="gone"
                android:layout_gravity="bottom"/>

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

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

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content_frame"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" >

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/appbar"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"
        app:borderWidth="0dp"
        android:src="@drawable/app_ic_slide_wallpaper_dark"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/big_padding"
        android:clickable="true"/>

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

My home fragment is set initially and that is where I want the collapsing toolbar expanded and that works fine. However when I change fragments from side drawer I want to disable the expanding toolbar.

I have figured out how to collapse it when a drawer item is selected but I also need to make sure it doesn't expand unless the home fragment is displayed. is this possible?

public void collapseToolbar(){
        CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appbar.getLayoutParams();
        behavior = (AppBarLayout.Behavior) params.getBehavior();
        if(behavior!=null) {
            behavior.onNestedFling(coordinator, appbar, null, 0, 10000, true);
        }
    }

Answer 1

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);

Answer 2

Disable nested scrolling on the scrolling fragment content:

recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);

Use this if you're using the support library:

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(recyclerView, false);
