ViewPager in a NestedScrollView

Question

I need to create an interface like Google Newsstand which is a sort of ViewPager (horizontal scroll) over a collapsing header (vertical scroll). One of my requirements is to use the new Design Support Library presented at the Google IO 2015. (http://android-developers.blogspot.ca/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html)

Based on the sample created by Chris Banes (https://github.com/chrisbanes/cheesesquare) I've reach the point that I'm able to do the collapsing behaviour but with a basic LinearLayout (without horizontal scroll).

I tried to replace the LinearLayout by a ViewPager and I got a blank screen. I played with: width, weight and all kind of view groups but.... still a blank screen. It seems that ViewPager and NestedScrollView don't like each other.

I tried a workaround by using an HorizontalScrollView: it works but I loose the benefit of the PagerTitleStrip feature and the focus on a single panel (I can stop the horizontally between 2 panels).

Now I have no more ideas, if anyone can lead me to a solution...

Thanks

Here is my latest layout file :

Answer 1

I meet this problem ,i solve it by setFillViewport (true)

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/nest_scrollview"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="mio.kon.yyb.nestedscrollviewbug.ScrollingActivity"
tools:showIn="@layout/activity_scrolling">


    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

in activity

  NestedScrollView scrollView = (NestedScrollView) findViewById (R.id.nest_scrollview);
    scrollView.setFillViewport (true);

Answer 2

Okay, I made a small demo with the ViewPager and NestedScrollView. The problem I faced was with the height of ViewPager and the ListView. So I did a little modification on ListView and ViewPager's height measuring.

If anyone would like to look into the code, Here is the link: https://github.com/TheLittleNaruto/SupportDesignExample/

Output:

Answer 3

Add android:fillViewport="true" in your NestedScrollView . period.

Answer 4

Instead of placing ViewPager inside the NestedScrollView, do it the other way around.

Place the NestedScrollView in the child Views inside the ViewPager which in essence is the Fragment's layout. It's also very likely that you won't even need to use NestedScrollView if your Fragment's list layout is very simple.

Example Layouts

Activity's Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/app_bar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/app_bar_height"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

        <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
            android:id="@+id/toolbar_layout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed|snap">

            <ImageView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:minHeight="@dimen/app_bar_height"
                android:scaleType="centerCrop"
                android:src="@drawable/my_bg"
                app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"
                app:layout_collapseParallaxMultiplier="0.8"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|enterAlwaysCollapsed" />

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
                app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />

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

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/content_tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/viewPager"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1" />
    </LinearLayout>

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

If you don't need the TabLayout, you can ditch the LinearLayout and make ViewPager standalone. But be sure to use app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" in ViewPager attributes.

Simple Fragment's Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Complex Fragment's Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Hello World"/>
    </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Example App: CollapsingToolbarPoc

Answer 5

Had the same issues.

When putting the NestedScrollView around the ViewPager, it wouldn't work.

What DID work though is putting the NestedScrollView inside the layout of the fragment I'm loading inside the ViewPager.

<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="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
        <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@id/fragment_detail"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"
            android:orientation="vertical">
    ...Content...
    </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Answer 6

you can try like this, viewpager works fine, but the viewpager's height is fixed.

i am still finding the better solution ..., so please let me know any point can do it better, thanks

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="800dp"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/pager"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Answer 7

I had the same issue, and just fixed it with some changes. ViewPager doesn't work within the NestedScrollView. Simply put your ViewPager as a direct child of your CoordinatorLayout. Then the content for each ViewPager's Fragment should be enclosed in NestedScrollView. That's it.

Answer 8

just put this line in NestedScrollView

android:fillViewport="true"

Answer 9

You dont need use the NestedScrollView to have the parallax effects. try something like this:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:animateLayoutChanges="true">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/my_tab_layout"
            android:fillViewport="false"
            app:tabMode="fixed"/>
     </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

            <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
                android:id="@+id/my_view_pager"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

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

Answer 10

I had a layout with an app toolbar with NestedScrollView below it, then inside nested toolbar was a LinearLayout, below the LinearLayout was a view pager. Idea was the LinearLayout inside the NestedScrollView was fixed - you could slide left/right between the views of the view pager but this content wouldn't move, horizontally at least. You should still be able to scroll all the content vertically because of the nested scroll view. That was the idea. So I set nested NestedScrollView height to match_parent, fill viewport, then all the child layouts/ViewPager to wrap_content.

In my head that was right. But it didn't work - ViewPager allowed me to go left/right, but no vertical scrolling, whether the viewpager page content pushed below the bottom of the current screen or not. Turns out it was basically because the ViewPager doesn't respect wrap_content across its various pages.

I got round this by subclassing the ViewPager to make it change height depending on the current selected item, sort of forcing it to behave like layout_height="wrap_content":

public class ContentWrappingViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public ContentWrappingViewPager(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

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

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {

        int height = 0;
        if (getChildCount() > getCurrentItem()) {
            View child = getChildAt(getCurrentItem());
            child.measure(widthMeasureSpec, MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
            int h = child.getMeasuredHeight();
            if(h > height) height = h;
        }

        heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);

        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    }
}

Solution was inspired by this answer. Worked for me!

Answer 11

Use below customized class to resolve your problem. Don't forget to call onRefresh() method on pagechangelistener.

public class ContentWrappingViewPager extends ViewPager
{
    private int width = 0;
    public ContentWrappingViewPager(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

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

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
    {
        int height = 0;
        width = widthMeasureSpec;
        if (getChildCount() > getCurrentItem()) {
            View child = getChildAt(getCurrentItem());
            child.measure(widthMeasureSpec, MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
            int h = child.getMeasuredHeight();
            if(h > height) height = h;
        }

        heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);

        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    }

    public void onRefresh()
    {
        try {
            int height = 0;
            if (getChildCount() > getCurrentItem()) {
                View child = getChildAt(getCurrentItem());
                child.measure(width, MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
                int h = child.getMeasuredHeight();
                if(h > height) height = h;
            }

            int heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = this.getLayoutParams();
            layoutParams.height = heightMeasureSpec;
            this.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Answer 12

I was having a similar problem (but without CollapsingToolbarLayout, just a simple Toolbar + TabLayout within the AppBarLayout). I wanted the Toolbar to scroll out of sight when scrolling down the contents of a ViewPager within the NestedScrollView.

My layout went something like this:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">

        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:animateLayoutChanges="true">

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>

            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/my_tab_layout"
                android:fillViewport="false"
                app:tabMode="fixed"/>
         </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

         <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
                android:id="@+id/container"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:fillViewport="true"
                android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical"
                app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

                <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
                    android:id="@+id/my_view_pager"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                     app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
                </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
         </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

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

This layout wasn't working as intended, but I solved it by simply getting rid of the NestedScrollView and using a LinearLayout instead. It worked for me right away on Android Support Library v23.1.0. Here's how the layout ended up:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">

        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:animateLayoutChanges="true">

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
                android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>

            <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/my_tab_layout"
                android:fillViewport="false"
                app:tabMode="fixed"/>
         </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

         <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:id="@+id/container"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

                <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
                    android:id="@+id/my_view_pager"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                     app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
                </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
         </LinearLayout>

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

PS: These were actually two layout files in my project. I copied and pasted them here and tried to structure them as it would look like in a single file. I'm sorry if I screwed up while copy-pasting but please let me know if that's the case so I can fix it.

Answer 13

I removed NestedScrollView from the main layout and inserted as a Parent in all my Fragment layouts that were supposed to load in ViewPager fixed this issue for me.

Answer 14

The following should ensure the proper height of the view pager. The fragment is the first fragment provided by the view pager.

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/viewPager"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

        <fragment

Answer 15

I have the same wish, nest a ViewPager inside a NestedScrollView. But it doesn't work for me neither. In my case, the ViewPager is inside a Fragment so I can switch content depending on the interactions with the drawer. Of course, AppBar, collapse, etc and all new feature of support library must work.

If a user vertically scrolls a page in the pager, I want other pages to be scrolled the same, to give the user the overall impression that the pager itself scrolled.

What I did, which works, is that I no longer embed the ViewPager inside a NestedScrollView, instead, I embed the content of the contained fragments inside a NestedScrollView.

Then, in case of a scroll in one fragment, I inform the container of the new scrolling position, which stores it.

Finally, on a swipe left or right detected from the pager (using addOnPageChangeListener looking for drag states) I inform the target left or right fragment where it must scroll (based on the container knowledge of it) to be aligned from the fragment I come from.

I know one working solution: You use Activity, with CoordinatorLayout and use FrameLayout, container. Then. use fragment manager to put fragment in container. For example my code:

<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:orientation="vertical">

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:id="@+id/appbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:elevation="0dp">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbar_height"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:gravity="center">

    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>


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

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

</FrameLayout>

And Fragment:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.improvemdia.inmyroom.MainFragment">

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Then use FragmentManager

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.container, new MainFragment())
            .commit();

After spending hours tried all of the suggestions above, finally I made it work. The key is putting NestedScrollView inside PageViewer, AND set layout_behavior to '@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior' for BOTH views. The final layout is like

<CoordinatorLayout>
    <ViewPager app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
        <NestedScrollView fillViewport="true" app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
            <Content>...</Content>
        </NestedScrollView>
    </ViewPager>
    <AppBarLayout>...</AppBarLayout>
</CoordinatorLayout>

Answer 18

you just removed the NestedScrollView on your xml and add this code on your class

yourGridView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(true);

Answer 19

Actually the NestedScrollView doesn't need to to be direct sibling of CollapsingToolbarLayout in CoordinatorLayout. I have achieved something realy bizzare. The appbar_scrolling_view_behavior works in 2 nested fragments.

My activity layout:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

            <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

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

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

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

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/container"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

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

In the "container" frameLayout I have inflated this fragment:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

    ... some content ...

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager/>

    ...

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

And fragments inside that ViewPager looks like this:

<RelativeLayout>

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView/>

    ....

</RelativeLayout>

Fact that NestedScrollView can be so deep in the CoordinatorLayout children hierarchy and scroll behaviors stil works did suprised me.
