How to Hide ActionBar/Toolbar While Scrolling Down in Webview

Question

In Google chrome and play store. the app can hide the actionbar while scrolling and allows the user to Browse conveniently. Please Help me to do like this.

I've used onTouchListener for webview it doesn't works.

mWebView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                switch (event.getAction()) {
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                        getSupportActionBar().show();
                            break;
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                        getSupportActionBar().hide();
                            break;
                    default: break;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });

Thanks in Advance

You can do this without any Java code using the design library's CoordinatorLayout and NestedScrollView, with app:layout_scrollFlags set on Toolbar. Here's how you do it.

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:id="@+id/appbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"
   android:fillViewport="true"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/webview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

You can play around with with different layout_scrollFlags and fitsSystemWindows behaviour once you get the hang of it.

Well I have implemented by CustomWebView and GestureDetector:

CustomWebView.java:

public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
    private GestureDetector gestureDetector;
    public CustomWebView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }
    public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }
    @Override
    protected void onScrollChanged(int l, int t, int oldl, int oldt) {
        super.onScrollChanged(l, t, oldl, oldt);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        return gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev) || super.onTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    public void setGestureDetector(GestureDetector gestureDetector) {
        this.gestureDetector = gestureDetector;
    }
}

web_fragment.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

   <com.customview.CustomWebView
            android:id="@+id/customWebView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:focusable="true" />

</LinearLayout>

CustomeGestureDetector clss for Gesture Detection (I have added in Fragment):

private class CustomeGestureDetector extends GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener {
        @Override
        public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
            if(e1 == null || e2 == null) return false;
            if(e1.getPointerCount() > 1 || e2.getPointerCount() > 1) return false;
            else {
                try {
                    if(e1.getY() - e2.getY() > 20 ) {
                            // Hide Actionbar
                        getSupportActionBar().hide();
                        customWebView.invalidate();
                       return false;
                    }
                    else if (e2.getY() - e1.getY() > 20 ) {
                            // Show Actionbar
                        getSupportActionBar().show();
                        customWebView.invalidate();
                       return false;
                    }

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    customWebView.invalidate();
                }
                return false;
            }


        }
    }

WebFragment.java:

private CustomWebView customWebView;

customWebView= (CustomWebView) view.findViewById(R.id.customWebView);

customWebView.setGestureDetector(new GestureDetector(new CustomeGestureDetector()));

It works fine for me, hope it would help you.

There is an example here [stackoverflow.com/questions/14752523/…

Thanks for this, it's very helpful! However I would change the name of your CustomGestureDetector class to CustomGestureDetectorListener or something, because it's not a GestureDetector. As it is, it's confusing.

[Gabriel Gómez]

This works great, but you loose the "zoom" by gesture. Is there a way to get it again in this solution? Thanks

[Alexei Fando]

Some may find it necessary to add android:fillViewport="true" to NestedScrollView to make it take up the full available height of its container. Strangely, android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical", was not enough to achieve that in all cases.

[Sudarshan]

It's working as expected with this error "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to create layer for WebView, size 1200x17076 exceeds max size 16384". Is there any solution?

[Ioane Sharvadze]

Adding new layout will decrease performance. This is not correct solution. As for your issue @Sudarshan, it is happening, because it will create full size webview (same as a webpage) and try to render it. Because of that, you will loose webview optimisations, where only part of a page is rendered. I would not suggest to use this solution.

[Developer Vicky]

Bad practice to use Webview in ScrollView, Jump link will not work.

[willcwf]

This does not work correctly for pages where the DOM is populated by javascript after the page load. The height is incorrect: issuetracker.google.com/issues/37077954#makechanges and thus the scrolling does not work.

[Bartłomiej Uliasz]

Changing android:layout_height="match_parent" to android:layout_height="wrap_content" in WebView prevents misbehaviour on change of text size and other content modification of WebView. For example decreasing font size with webView.settings.textZoom (Kotlin) will make unnecessary blank space at the end of the WebView content with current code.
