Android – How to hide toolbar while scrolling listview up? (Just like google play store)

You can do this using the market:// prefix.

Java

final String appPackageName = getPackageName(); // getPackageName() from Context or Activity object
try {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + appPackageName)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName)));
}

Kotlin

try {
    startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("market://details?id=$packageName")))
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
    startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$packageName")))
}

We use a try/catch block here because an Exception will be thrown if the Play Store is not installed on the target device.

NOTE: any app can register as capable of handling the market://details?id=<appId> Uri, if you want to specifically target Google Play check the Berťák answer

I have fixed the issue, just to clerify, I wanted my Toolbar to be able to expand with a paralex image once it reaches the top, but I also wanted the toolbar to disappear if scrolling down, and show itself again (without the paralex image) once I scroll up. the paralex image effect should only displayed if I reaches the top.

So basically the solution is, change the component CollapsingToolbarLayout with the following attribute:

app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|enterAlwaysCollapsed"

and also change toolbar component with the following attribute

android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"

regarding my paralex effect image (which is my toolbar_search_container) I shouldn't add any layout_scrollFlags to it.

So why is it working? To understand it, you need to know what is enterAlwaysCollapsed, The enterAlwaysCollapsed effects views that added the minHeight attribute. this means, every child of CollapsingToolbarLayout which have minHeight will be effected by this attribute. So my toolbar will be effected.

enterAlwaysCollapsed attribute definition in simple words:

Assuming enterAlways is declared and you have specified a minHeight, you can also specify enterAlwaysCollapsed. When this setting is used, your view will only appear at this minimum height. Only when scrolling reaches to the top will the view expand to its full height..."

Well, isn't this exactly what we want? (do not answer this retorical question ;) )

One more thing to add, the parallax component (toolbar_search_container) is depends on the toolbar to expand, and because the toolbar will expand only when it reaches the top, then this is all just working great!

The new code is :
