great but what is the value of ViewCompatHelper.DRAWABLE_ALPHA?

i tried to use it but the class is never called

 <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
       .......
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

    <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
       .........................
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed"> 

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
        app:layout_behavior=".components.ToolbarAlphaScrollBehavior"/> 
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

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

can you please check what is wrong in my layout

@Fshamri For behavior to work, it must be direct descendant of the CoordnatorLayout. In other words, you need to take the Toolbar out of the CollapsingToolbarLayout.

The value of ViewCompatHelper.DRAWABLE_ALPHA is 255, the maximum drawable alpha value.

what's the code of the ViewCompatHelper class

what is ViewCompatHelper class?

This guy is the worst. Such a tease lol.. Let's do better, honestly.
