Moving CardView below the NavigationView

I'm looking to move the cardview down so it's not blocked by the navigation bar. Here's a screenshot to show what problem I currently have: Nav-Bar Covering Cardview. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Here is my activity_recycler_view XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:openDrawer="start">

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

                  android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="start">

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:id="@+id/recyclerView">

        </android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>

    </LinearLayout>

    <include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_home"

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_home"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_home_drawer"/>


</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Here is my app_bar_home XML code:

    <include layout="@layout/content_home"

Here is my nav_header_home XML code:

Here is my activity_home XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Here is my content_home XML code:

Solution

  • Try to edit your layout to be like that:

    activity_recycler_view.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:openDrawer="start">

    <include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_home"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_home"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_home_drawer" />

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

    And app_bar_home.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:context="com.capstone.janellemarie.capstone.HomeActivity">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <include layout="@layout/content_home" android:id="@+id/include"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|left"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
        app:layout_anchor="@+id/include"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right"
        app:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/add"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    and content_home.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/content_home"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    tools:context="com.capstone.janellemarie.capstone.HomeActivity"
    tools:showIn="@layout/app_bar_home"
    android:orientation="horizontal">


    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/recyclerView">

    </android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>

</LinearLayout>
