Does anyone know how can I achieve the new parallax scrolling effect - you can see the effect when you open an app on the PlayStore and try to scroll down, the content goes over the top image. How can I achieve that?

Google has recently announced Design support library and with this it has support for implementing Collapsing Toolbar.

In addition to pinning a view, you can use app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" (and optionally app:layout_collapseParallaxMultiplier="0.7" to set the parallax multiplier) to implement parallax scrolling (say of a sibling ImageView within the CollapsingToolbarLayout)

Example:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:layout_height="192dp" android:layout_width="match_parent"> <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"> <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" android:layout_width="match_parent" app:layout_collapseMode="pin"/> </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout> </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

This is the preferred way. No need for 3rd party!
@Paresh Mayani i have kind of similar problem, can you please take a look at it, stackoverflow.com/questions/34760578/… thanks

You could try this (FadingActionBar library): https://github.com/ManuelPeinado/FadingActionBar

Try an example of this library on android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manuelpeinado.fadingactionbar.demo

EDIT: Rather than third party library use this AppBarLayout and CollapsingToolbarLayout http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html

Why to suggest 3rd party library when Google has already announced Design support library!
@PareshMayani Thanks for info..But why downvote only for me?. all the answers are give 3rd party library including accepted answer..
Material design library doesn't support fling gesture. Bad experience with scrollview! I'll try this library.
It`s any necessary we only use the official methods.. If better than official we can go for 3rd party..for ex Networking library Retrofit faster than official library.Then what is our choice?
Certainly an upvote because the cost of adding official design support library to the gradle dependency certainly equals the cost of adding 3rd party gradle dependency, sometimes with the added benefits of far greater support as mentioned by @wisemann

Actually few minutes after posting this question I bumped on two of libraries that do the effect I'm looking for and even more.

Here are links to them:

There's a library called FadingActionBar that does exactly what you're asking for. You can find the library on GitHub (click) and a Demo-Application in the Play Store (click).

Usage would be something like this:

FadingActionBarHelper helper = new FadingActionBarHelper() // Set the ActionBar drawable - basically the color .actionBarBackground(R.drawable.ab_background) // Set the Header - usually an image .headerLayout(R.layout.header) // Set the main layout .contentLayout(R.layout.activity_scrollview); setContentView(helper.createView(this)); helper.initActionBar(this);

You may custom the parallax animation by tracking the Recycler View Scrolling

Firstly in the image view layout. Set the parent layout is smaller than image view so that prevent the image outside the bound when set translationY

<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout android:id="@+id/index_level6_image_section" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="200dp" android:clipChildren="false"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/index_level6_parallaxImage" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="240dp" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:background="@color/timberwolf" android:layout_marginTop="-20" android:layout_marginBottom="-20" android:scaleType="centerCrop" app:imageUrl="@{level6CellViewModel.level6ImageUrl}" /> </android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout> 

After that, track the recycler view scrolling effect and transitionY the image view.

*** I am using rxbinding and kotlin for implementation. You may use traditional listening method and java approach with the same idea.

RxRecyclerView.scrollEvents(recyclerView) .subscribe { event -> // get the visible cell items of the recycler view val firstVisible = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition() val visibleCount = Math.abs(firstVisible - layoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition()) /** loop the visible cell items from the recycler view */ for (i in firstVisible..firstVisible + visibleCount) { event.view().layoutManager?.findViewByPosition(i)?.let { cellItem -> /** only for index cell level 6 parallax image */ cellItem.findViewById(R.id.index_level6_parallaxImage)?.let { imageView -> /** setting the parallax effect */ val translationY = (cellItem.top - cellItem.height) / level6ParallaxRate imageView.translationY = -translationY } } } }
