Android shared element transition ToolBar overlap

I found a similar problem in my project.Add below code in your style.

<item name="android:windowSharedElementsUseOverlay">false</item>

It works for me.

I came up with a temporary workaround. Before the shared element transition is executed, the calling activity checks whether the target view is within the bounds of the RecyclerView. If not, the RecyclerView is smooth-scrolled to show the full view and once that is finished the transition runs. If the view is fully visible, then transitions runs normally.

// Scroll to view and run animation when scrolling completes.
recycler.smoothScrollToPosition(adapterPosition);
recycler.getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onPreDraw() {
        recycler.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
        // Open activity here.
        return true;
    }
});

Here's the result, not too bad until I find a better solution:
