Collapsing AppBar with two Toolbars
I am trying to create an app with two toolbars on top and a specific collapsing/expanding behaviour on scrolling. See the mockup to get a deeper understanding of what I'm trying to achieve:

![Mockup](https://software.codidact.com/uploads/2n9BL1hVzzLt8YDyvSYmTp2f)

I found [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48730697/two-toolbars-only-the-second-one-should-collapse-on-scroll-in-coordinatorlayout) StackOverflow question that is trying to achieve for about the same, and the response is hinting towards using a `CollapsingToolbarLayout` and just using another Toolbar instead of the usual ImageView, but I tried around and could not get any close to the desired result. I am also not sure if there are better approaches to achieve this.

My current XML layout looks as follows:
   
        <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/mainContainer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">

        <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
            android:id="@+id/appbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <com.google.android.material.appbar.CollapsingToolbarLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">

                <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
                    android:id="@+id/secondaryToolbar"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                    app:title="01/01/1999"
                    app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />

                <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
                    android:id="@+id/primaryToolbar"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
                    app:title="Title"
                    app:layout_collapseMode="pin" />

            </com.google.android.material.appbar.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

        </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>

        <androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/placeholder"/>
    
        </androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
    
    </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>`

And the corresponding activity code:

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.primaryToolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    }

I am using a `NoActionBar` theme. If I run this configuration, there is just one `Toolbar` displayed, nothing can be seen from the second `Toolbar `or the `CollapsingToolbarLayout`.

Huge thanks to anyone who is trying to help.
