I'm trying to change default switch thumb in preference screen to my custom. I've tried different solutions found here but none of them working. My last try was to create a custom layout but the problem is that I can't properly add switch to that layout. Can't really add androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat because of the id (#android:id/switch_widget requires API level 24 (current min is 21) or with other suggested id: Cannot resolve symbol '#android:id/switchWidget').
root_preferences.xml (part):
<PreferenceCategory app:title="#string/confidentiality"
android:layout="#layout/preferences_category">
<SwitchPreferenceCompat
android:layout="#layout/switch_preference_compat"
app:key="show_contacts"
app:title="#string/contact_information"
app:singleLineTitle="false"
app:defaultValue="true"
app:iconSpaceReserved="false"/>
</PreferenceCategory>
switch_preference_compat.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/ks_font_data"
android:textSize="18sp"/>
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/summary"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
android:id="#android:id/switchWidget" <--- error here
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
I tried styles but it also didn't work well. I want my thumb looks like this[my custom switch][1]

So after a few hours I was able to find out how to do that. Posting this answer so it may help somebody save their time.
In root_preferences.xml there is android:widgetLayout property where you can set custom layout for SwitchPreferenceCompat:
<SwitchPreferenceCompat
android:widgetLayout="#layout/switch_preference_compat"
app:key="show_contacts"
app:title="#string/contact_information"
app:singleLineTitle="false"
app:defaultValue="true"
app:iconSpaceReserved="false"/>
switch_preference_compat.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"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="18sp"/>
<TextView
android:id="#android:id/summary"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
android:id="#+id/switchWidget"
android:thumb="#drawable/thumb"
app:track="#drawable/track"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
there is where you put your drawables for custom thumb and track. Mine looks so:
thumb.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/switch_icon_false" />
<item android:state_checked="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/switch_icon_true"/>
</selector>
track.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#dedede"/>
<corners android:radius="100sp"/>
<stroke android:color="#dedede"
android:width="1dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_checked="true">

<solid android:color="#9dcbb5"/>

I've created a AndroidX app using a main Activity with fragments. When I go to my fragment with the recyclerview the recycler view appears over the toolbar for the app. What I need is for the recyclerview to appear below the tool bar...
This is the main view with toolbar
This is the fragment with the recyclerview appearing over that toolbar :

As an added note this occurs on fragment's with scrollviews as well.
I tried to replicate your problem (created a repo), but I did not find the issue you specified.
Screenshot: Toolbar is shown
So I say that most probably the issue is with your view.RecyclerFragment code. It seems that you are hiding your the toolbar in your view.RecyclerFragment
It's better if you can share your view.RecyclerFragment code also.
I am trying to create sample android application that uses the MapView to display the map, but it didn't display anything in fragment.My MapFragment is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
I am looking a create a toolbar like whatsapp profile with co-ordinator layout.
But I am only able to show the main title on toolbar which has pinning property on action bar.
How can I add the sub title text and icon/custom view on the right , which has a similar pinning on actionbar property.
I have tried adding layout inside Toolbar tag in xml.

How to create a floating toolbar like the following image as proposed in the material design guidelines and in the Google Map application.
I've worked with the Toolbar before and all the comments from CommonsWare are absolutely correct.
The Toolbar widget (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/Toolbar.html) have absolutely nothing special or different than any other Viewgroup and does not behave differently than any other ViewGroup.
Put it inside a FrameLayout, put a layout_margin parameter on it, make the layout_width NOT match_parent and that's it.
Put it inside an LinearLayout with orientation=horizontal and you can use the layout_weight to control the size in percentage. Or just use plain dip if that suits your needs.
Since you are following the Material Design concept I am assuming your are using Coordinator Layout as your Main Layout and Not Frame Layout.
Before anything else we need to declare the important dependencies.
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.2.1'
}

I think Mark's suggestion for picking up the CardView "look" in the comment above deserves this derivative answer:
Just put a Toolbar in a CardView:
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/map_toolbar_container"
android:layout_width="#dimen/whatever_you_want"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
app:cardElevation="8dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#324">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/wld_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
Just Add the following code....
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="8dp"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
>
//add whatever elements you want to add in here.
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
**android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:elevation="5dp"**
/>
Here is the code for the floating toolbar, just copy and paste.
This is an example of a floating toolbar using Appcompat, It can be working under many layouts like Relative, Coordinator, or DrawerLayout. You can increase elevation to make it more effective.
