Programmatically collapse or expand CollapsingToolbarLayout

Using Support Library v23, you can call appBarLayout.setExpanded(true/false).

Further reading: AppBarLayout.setExpanded(boolean)

I use this code for collapsing toolbar. Still cannot find a way to expand it.

public void collapseToolbar(){
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appbarLayout.getLayoutParams();
    behavior = (AppBarLayout.Behavior) params.getBehavior();
    if(behavior!=null) {
        behavior.onNestedFling(rootLayout, appbarLayout, null, 0, 10000, true);
    }
}

Edit 1: The same function with negative velocityY but the toolbar is not expanded 100% and false for last param should work

public void expandToolbar(){
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appbarLayout.getLayoutParams();
    behavior = (AppBarLayout.Behavior) params.getBehavior();
    if(behavior!=null) {
        behavior.onNestedFling(rootLayout, appbarLayout, null, 0, -10000, false);
    }
}

Edit 2: This code do the trick for me

public void expandToolbar(){
    CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appbarLayout.getLayoutParams();
    behavior = (AppBarLayout.Behavior) params.getBehavior();
    if(behavior!=null) {
        behavior.setTopAndBottomOffset(0);
        behavior.onNestedPreScroll(rootLayout, appbarLayout, null, 0, 1, new int[2]);
    }
}

• setTopAndBottomOffset do expand the toolbar
• onNestedPreScroll do show the content inside expanded toolbar

Will try to implement Behavior by myself.

I've written a small extension to AppBarLayout. It allows for expanding and collapsing of the CollapsibleToolbarLayout both with and without animation. It seems to be doing it quite right.

Feel free to try it out.

Just use it instead of your AppBarLayout, and you can call methods responsible for expanding or collapsing of the CollapsingToolbarLayout.

It's working exactly as expected in my project, but you might need to tweak the fling/scroll values in the perform... methods (especially in performExpandingWithAnimation()) to fit perfectly with your CollapsibleToolbarLayout.

You can define how much it expands or collapses with your custom animator. Just use the setTopAndBottomOffset(int).

Here is an example:

CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams params = (CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) appBar.getLayoutParams();
final AppBarLayout.Behavior behavior = (AppBarLayout.Behavior) params.getBehavior();
if (behavior != null) {
    ValueAnimator valueAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofInt();
    valueAnimator.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
    valueAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
            behavior.setTopAndBottomOffset((Integer) animation.getAnimatedValue());
            appBar.requestLayout();
        }
    });
    valueAnimator.setIntValues(0, -900);
    valueAnimator.setDuration(400);
    valueAnimator.start();
}
