Translucent status bar and toolbar
Solution 1
I would remove the Toolbar
from your layout and use an implementation of an ActionBar
from the AppCompat.Theme
:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
Then, I would create a new style for the semi-transparent ActionBar
(in values/styles.xml
:
<style name="AppTheme.Transparent" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
And in v21/styles.xml
:
<style name="AppTheme.Transparent" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>
I assume, that your Activity
extends AppCompatActivity
so then in onCreate()
you can call:
For enabling a back button:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
For setting your translucent color:
getSupportActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.yourTranslucentColor)));
For removing your ActionBar
title:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
What is more, I would change your root LinearLayout
to CoordinatorLayout
as it gives you more control over your layouts (it's a more powerful FrameLayout
).
The color which I used is:
<color name="yourTranslucentColor">#29000000</color>
Of course you should remember to apply this theme to your Activity
in the AndroidManifest.xml
:
<activity
android:name=".ui.activity.YourActivity"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Transparent">
</activity>
By doing all these steps you should get something like this:
Please let me know, if it works for you.

As you said,
"I've already tried putting the toolbar in a FrameLayout, but doing that my toolbar simply hides, like this:".
The problem with this is the order of adding childView in FrameLayout
, you added Toolbar as first child and after that you added ImageView. this is why image hides the toolbar. Instead, the order of views inside FameLayout
should be like this
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.project.android.PhotoActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/photo_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitStart" />
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/photo_tl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#59000000"
tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute" />
</FrameLayout>
Also for API level >=19 ,you can add this attribute in style.xml
file to make statusBar transparent
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>

Solution 3
Use code below
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/coordinator_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/appbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="@+id/collapsing_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:contentScrim="@color/colorPrimary"
app:expandedTitleMarginEnd="64dp"
app:expandedTitleMarginStart="48dp"
app:expandedTitleTextAppearance="@style/AppTheme.CollapsingToolbarLayoutExpandedTextStyle"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/iv_backdrop"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:theme="@style/YourTheme"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<!-- Rest of your view-->
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

TLDR; You have to wrap the toolbar in a LinearLayout.
What I did to make it work was similar to @Akhilesh Kumar's approach but I wrapped the toolbar in a LinearLayout which fixed the toolbar overlapping. I also put the fitsSystemWindows to true in that LinearLayout.
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.project.android.PhotoActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/photo_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitStart"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/content_card_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/photo_tl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#59000000"
tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute"/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
I hope it helps.

LinearLayout
will automatically place the ImageView
below the Toolbar
.
Try using a RelativeLayout
instead.

I'd like to integrate something like this:
And I've done it like this, but I can't seem to put the imageview below the toolbar. Without the toolbar, I can make it under the status bar, but combining these two are impossible.
Here's my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:fitsSystemWindows="true" tools:context="com.project.android.PhotoActivity"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="@+id/photo_tl" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:background="#59000000" tools:ignore="UnusedAttribute" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/photo_image" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:scaleType="fitStart" /> </LinearLayout>
In my activity, I've done the following:
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility( View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN);
I've also declared an styles-v21.xml file:
<style name="Project.Photo" parent="Project.Light"> <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item> <item name="android:statusBarColor">#59000000</item> </style>
And set it as default style for PhotoActivity. I've already tried putting the toolbar in a FrameLayout, but doing that my toolbar simply hides, like this:
Thanks in advance.
Got that fixed, but toolbar is overlapping the status bar. Is there anyway to fix the padding? If I use android:fitsSystemWindows="true", status bar isn't translucent anymore.
