An enclosing CoordinatorLayout can be used to achieve Material Design Scrolling Effects when using inner layouts that support Nested Scrolling, such as [NestedScrollView](<https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/NestedScrollView.html>) or [RecyclerView](<https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/RecyclerView.html>).

For this example:

Here is the layout xml file used in an Activity:

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_layout"
    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"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appBarLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:elevation="6dp">
    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
        app:elevation="0dp"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
        />

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
        app:tabMode="fixed"
        android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:elevation="0dp"
        app:tabTextColor="#d3d3d3"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        />

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

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_below="@+id/tab_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
        />

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