Using BottomSheetBehavior with a inner CoordinatorLayout

The design support library v. 23.2 introduced BottomSheetBehavior, which allows childs of a coordinator to act as bottom sheets (views draggable from the bottom of the screen).

What I’d like to do is to have, as a bottom sheet view, the following view (the typical coordinator + collapsing stuff):

<CoordinatorLayout
    app:layout_behavior=“@string/bottom_sheet_behavior”>

   <AppBarLayout>
        <CollapsingToolbarLayout>
           <ImageView />
        </CollapsingToolbarLayout>
    </AppBarLayout>

    <NestedScrollView>
        <LinearLayout>
            < Content ... />
        </LinearLayout>
    </NestedScrollView>

</CoordinatorLayout>

Unfortunately, bottom sheet views should implement nested scrolling, or they won’t get scroll events. If you try with a main activity and then load this view as a bottom sheet, you’ll see that scroll events only act on the “sheet” of paper, with some strange behavior, as you can see if you keep reading.

I am pretty sure that this can be handled by subclassing CoordinatorLayout, or even better by subclassing BottomSheetBehavior. Do you have any hint?

Some thoughts

• requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent() should be used, to steal events from the parent in some conditions:

  • when the AppBarLayout offset is > 0
  • when the AppBarLayout offset is == 0, but we are scrolling up (think about it for a second and you’ll see)

• the first condition can be obtained by setting an OnOffsetChanged to the inner app bar;

• the second requires some event handling, for example:

    switch (MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(event)) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            startY = event.getY();
            lastY = startY;
            userIsScrollingUp = false;
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            userIsScrollingUp = false;
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            lastY = event.getY();
            float yDeltaTotal = startY - lastY;
            if (yDeltaTotal > touchSlop) { // Moving the finger up.
                userIsScrollingUp = true;
            }
            break;
    }
  

Issues

Needless to say, I can’t make this work right now. I am not able to catch the events when the conditions are met, and not catch them in other cases. In the image below you can see what happens with a standard CoordinatorLayout:

• The sheet is dismissed if you scroll down on the appbar, but not if you scroll down on the nested content. It seems that nested scroll events are not propagated to the Coordinator behavior;

• There is also a problem with the inner appbar: the nested scroll content does not follow the appbar when it is being collapsed..

I have setup a sample project on github that shows these issues.

Just to be clear, desired behavior is:

• Correct behavior of appbars/scroll views inside the sheet;

• When sheet is expanded, it can collapse on scroll down, but only if the inner appbar is fully expanded too. Right now it does collapse with no regards to the appbar state, and only if you drag the appbar;

• When sheet is collapsed, scroll up gestures will expand it (with no effect on the inner appbar).

An example from the contacts app (which probably does not use BottomSheetBehavior, but this is what I want):

I have finally released my implementation. Find it on Github or directly from jcenter:

compile 'com.otaliastudios:bottomsheetcoordinatorlayout:1.0.0’

All you have to do is using BottomSheetCoordinatorLayout as the root view for your bottom sheet. It will automatically inflate a working behavior for itself, so don’t worry about it.

I have been using this for a long time and it shouldn’t have scroll issues, supports dragging on the ABL etc.

I have just followed the way you asked the above question and come up with solution that might need more explanation.Please follow your sample code and integrate the extra part in your xml to make it behave like BottomSheeet behaviour

<CoordinatorLayout>
   <AppBarLayout>
        <Toolbar
            app:layout_collapseMode="pin">
        </Toolbar>
    </AppBarLayout>
    <NestedScrollView
         app:layout_behavior=“@string/bottom_sheet_behavior” >
        <include layout="@layout/items" />
    </NestedScrollView>
     
    <!-- Bottom Sheet -->

     <BottomSheetCoordinatorLayout>
        <AppBarLayout
            <CollapsingToolbarLayout">
             <ImageView />
                <Toolbar />
            </CollapsingToolbarLayout>
        </AppBarLayout>
        <NestedScrollView">
            <include layout="@layout/items" />
        </NestedScrollView>
    </BottomSheetCoordinatorLayout>
</CoordinatorLayout>

Note : Solution that worked for me already explained in last comment of your question

Better explantion : https://github.com/laenger/BottomSheetCoordinatorLayout

i've followed laenger's initial github test project regarding this issue, and i'm glad to share you a solution for some of his issues since i needed this behavior in my app too.

this is a solution to his issue : ❌ toolbar sometimes collapses too early

to prevent this, you need to create your custom AppBarLayout.Behavior, since it is when you scroll up while still dragging that the AppBarLayout.behavior gets the scroll motion. We need to detect if its in STATE_DRAGGING and just return to avoid hiding/collapsing the toolbar up prematurely.

public class CustomAppBarLayoutBehavior extends AppBarLayout.Behavior {

    private CoordinatorLayoutBottomSheetBehavior behavior;

    public CustomAppBarLayoutBehavior() {
    }

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

    @Override
    public boolean onStartNestedScroll(CoordinatorLayout parent, AppBarLayout child, View directTargetChild, View target, int nestedScrollAxes) {
        behavior = CoordinatorLayoutBottomSheetBehavior.from(parent);
        return super.onStartNestedScroll(parent, child, directTargetChild, target, nestedScrollAxes);
    }

    @Override
    public void onNestedPreScroll(CoordinatorLayout coordinatorLayout, AppBarLayout child, View target, int dx, int dy, int[] consumed) {
        if(behavior.getState() == CoordinatorLayoutBottomSheetBehavior.STATE_DRAGGING){
            return;
        }else {
            super.onNestedPreScroll(coordinatorLayout, child, target, dx, dy, consumed);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void setDragCallback(@Nullable DragCallback callback) {
        super.setDragCallback(callback);
    }
}

this may be a good start on how we resolve the other issues:

❌ toolbar cannot be collapsed through drags

❌ main coordinator layout consumes some scroll

i'm not actually a good UI/animation person, but hardwork pays off understanding the code sometimes, finding the right callback/override function to implement.

set this as behavior to appbarlayout

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:id="@+id/bottom_sheet_appbar"
    style="@style/BottomSheetAppBarStyle"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layout_behavior="your.package.CustomAppBarLayoutBehavior">

If the first child is nestedscroll this will occurs some other problems. This solution is fixed my problem i hope also fix yours.

<CoordinatorLayout
    app:layout_behavior=“@string/bottom_sheet_behavior”>

   <AppBarLayout>
        <CollapsingToolbarLayout>
           <ImageView />
        </CollapsingToolbarLayout>
    </AppBarLayout>
</LinearLayout>
    <NestedScrollView>
        <LinearLayout>
            < Content ... />
        </LinearLayout>
    </NestedScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
</CoordinatorLayout>

Try not to use NestedScrollView with LinearLayout, it has been causing problems in my app too. Just use only LinearLayout instead, works fine for me.

Try the following:

<CoordinatorLayout
app:layout_behavior=“@string/bottom_sheet_behavior”>

<AppBarLayout>
    <CollapsingToolbarLayout>
       <ImageView />
    </CollapsingToolbarLayout>
</AppBarLayout>

<LinearLayout>
     <!--don't forget to addd this line-->
     app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

        < Content ... />
</LinearLayout>

The layout for the full screen of appbar layout is as follows:-

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/main_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

and after that you should implements AppBarLayout.OnOffsetChangedListener in your class and set offset of screen.
