How to add bottom view to a Coordinator Layout with view pager?

Question

I want to add a bottom view to a Coordinator layout with view pager in it , Bottom View will be on top of fragment loaded by view pager and independent of it .

I added a linear layout with

layout_gravity = "bottom"

but bottom view linear layout is not showing at all

Following is my xml layout of the activity.

            android:id="@+id/limiter_layout"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"

add completeBottomView inside framelayout try – Hydrostat

Answer 1

As pointed out in comment by @Dhawal ....Solution is to wrap LinearLayout completeBottomView in a FrameLayout with android:layout_gravity="bottom"

this fixed my problem. had an edittext anchored to the bottom that i needed appear about the keyboard when it gained focus. cheers – Garibaldi

Adding android:layout_gravity="bottom" directly to your LinearLayout (completeBottomView) should work as well. I don't think the additional FrameLayout is necessary – Vadnais

Doesn't this mean that the content of the bottom view will overlap the other content? – Byler

Any solution? The bottom view is covering part of the content of my viewPager – Wateriness

Not a solution specially if you need translucent bar with fitsSystemWindows – Mientao

This code worked for me. Change app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" to app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll" attribute of android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar. More details here
