I am making an Android app. When the equivalent of this app on iOS is using bottom tabs, the recommended way to get it onto Android is to use a top tab bar like this:

So true to this, I have created this here:

However I need to make this a profile screen like for instance:

However I can't figure out how to do this. The tab bar is in the way.
Is there any recommendations on how you would do a profile screen when there are top tabs?

    What happens when they press the back button on the profile screen?

  • @RobEarle In the profile screen that's a demo. But if that back button was in my tabbed navigator, it would take them to the initial tab.

The profile screen in the 3rd image is one level deeper in the hierarchy from your main page (I mean the page with tabs). So, when the user clicks on a button which is a link to the profile screen, the profile screen overlays over the main page. Clicking on the ' <- ' Back button would take the user back to the main page.

I think i found the answer, I think I'll make the part between the tab bar and title bar expand. This part will contain the profile background and info like this:

    No.. 1. The profile page should contain details to be shown in the profile only, not the tab bar. 2. Tab bar should not shift its place if u are following material.
