What is the difference between AppBarLayout vs Toolbar?

I want to include Toolbar in my app, but the design support library just came out with AppBarLayout, so I just need clarification on what the difference is and when I would use one over the other.

Solution

  • The AppBarLayout is used to achieve various scrolling behaviors such as collapse, flex space, and quick return.
