Hide TextView when CollapsingToolbarLayout is Collapsed, and show it when expanded

I am working on an app using a CollapsingToolbarLayout, with an ImageView inside it. I wanted to add a gradient on top of it to look nicer and to be able to read the CollapsingToolBar title better, so I made a little hack and added a Relative Layout with a textview inside it, then I added a background to that same TextView (which is the gradient I was talking about). The problem with this is that when the ToolBar is collapsed, the gradient still shows over it and I dont want it to happen, how can I make it invisible when the ToolBar is collapsed?

Answer

Add an OnOffsetChangedListener to the AppBar and listen to the changes when it’s collapsed or expanded and hide/show your TextView based on that.

Add an ID to the appbar

<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
    android:id="@+id/appbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="450dp"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

Then, access the AppBar and add an OnOffsetChangedListener as

appbar.addOnOffsetChangedListener(new AppBarLayout.OnOffsetChangedListener() {

    @Override
    public void onOffsetChanged(AppBarLayout appBarLayout, int verticalOffset) {
        float percentage = (float) Math.abs(verticalOffset) / appBarLayout.getTotalScrollRange();
        if (Math.abs(verticalOffset) == appBarLayout.getTotalScrollRange()) {
            //  Collapsed
            //Hide your TextView here
            tv.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        } else if(verticalOffset == 0) {
            //Expanded
            //Show your TextView here
            tv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        } else {
            //In Between
            tv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            tv.animate().alpha(percentage);
    }
});

You can choose to play with the alpha property only instead of visibility, that’s upto you.
