Android Collapsing Toolbar not using inertia like Google Play App does

Question

I'm using the Android Design Support Library to create an Activity with a Collapsible Toolbar with a nice fading effect, just like Google Play or Whatsapp's Contact profile. I will put the activity layout at the end but bear in mind this is just the default Collapsible Activity layout to which I added an ImageView to the AppBarLayout to create the Toolbar <-> Image fade effect.

My problem with this implementation presents itself as 2 symptoms I will describe:

• The activity content is long, when I want to scroll up quickly with a fast swipe the scroll will stop before expanding the Toolbar. I want it to continue, when I'm at the bottom of my NestedScrollView and I do a quick finger swipe to go all the way to the top of my activity I want this scroll to go and expand the Toolbar, this is the way the Google Play app behaves or Whatsapp's profile does.

• Similarly when the Toolbar is expanded there is no inertia to the scroll, a quick swipe down will scroll a tiny bit, again this is not how Google Play or Whatsapp profile behaves. Once the Toolbar is collapsed the scroll behaves as it always has in ScrollViews, ListViews, etc. A quick swipe will allow you to go the bottom or top (unless there is a lot of content).

Is the behaviour I describe supported by the Design Support Library?

Answer 1

Update support libraries to 26.0.0 ( especially design support library ). They finally fixed this issue after years of complaining.

Answer 2

Try to add these lines in :

<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
   app:expandedTitleMarginEnd="64dp"
   app:expandedTitleMarginStart="48dp"
   app:expandedTitleTextAppearance="@android:color/transparent"
