AppBarLayout is a vertical LinearLayout which implements various material design scrolling gestures.if you are not aware of Material Design refer here.

AppBarLayout children should provide scrolling behaviour by setScrollFlags(int) or in XML by app:layout_scrollFlags=””

Note: AppBarLayout depends heavily on being used as a direct child of Coordinator layout if you used with other ViewGroup its most of the scrolling functionality will not work.

So, Lets start:-

1. Add following dependencies in build.gradle to work with AppBarLayout

   compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
   compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

2. Create a layout containing AppBarLayout

activity_main.xml

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >
    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
         android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
      >
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways|snap"
            android:background="#6495ED"
            />
        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#6495ED"
            />
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
        />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

app:layout_behavior describes the scroll behaviour of view pager it starts scroll below tab layout.

3.Now create a layout for fragment to show items

about.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/recyclerview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

4. Now create a layout  for recyclerview items

listitems.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="16dp"
    android:paddingRight="16dp"
    android:paddingTop="8dp"
    android:paddingBottom="8dp"
    android:gravity="center_vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
    android:elevation="8dp"
    >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/itemname"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:padding="8dp"
        />
    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>

5.Now create a fragment and adapter for view pager

about.java

package com.coderzpassion.constitution.constitutionofindia;


import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.ArrayList;

/**
 * Created by coderzpassion on 05/04/16.
 */
public class About extends Fragment {

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        RecyclerView recyclerView=(RecyclerView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.about,container,false);
        setUpRecyclerView(recyclerView);
        return  recyclerView;
    }

    private void setUpRecyclerView(RecyclerView rv)
    {
        rv.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(rv.getContext()));
        rv.setAdapter(new AboutUsAdapter(rv.getContext(), getListForItems()));
    }
    public ArrayList<String> getListForItems()
    {
        ArrayList<String> list =new ArrayList<>();
        list.add("First Item");
        list.add("Second Item");
        list.add("Third Item");
        list.add("Fourth Item");
        list.add("Fifth Item");
        list.add("Six Item");
        list.add("Seven Item");
        list.add("8 Item");
        list.add("9 Item");
        list.add("10 Item");
        list.add("11 Item");
        list.add("12 Item");
        list.add("13 Item");
        list.add("14 Item");
        list.add("15 Item");
        list.add("16 Item");
        list.add("17 Item");
        list.add("18 Item");
        list.add("19 Item");
        list.add("20 Item");
        list.add("21 Item");

        return list;
    }

    public  static class AboutUsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<AboutUsAdapter.ViewHolder>
    {
        ArrayList<String> aboutlist=new ArrayList<>();
        Context aboutuscontext;

             public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
             {
                 public final TextView items;
                public ViewHolder(View view)
                {
                    super(view);
                    items=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.itemname);
                }
             }

        public AboutUsAdapter(Context context,ArrayList<String> list)
        {
            aboutuscontext=context;
            aboutlist=list;

        }

        @Override
        public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
           View view=LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.listitems, parent, false);
            return  new ViewHolder(view);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
                 holder.items.setText(aboutlist.get(position));
        }

        @Override
        public int getItemCount() {
            return aboutlist.size();
        }
    }
}

6.Now create a MainActivity and code for AppBarLayout

MainActivity.java

package com.coderzpassion.constitution.constitutionofindia;

import android.database.DataSetObserver;
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Adapter;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

        final ActionBar actionBar=getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
        ViewPager viewPager=(ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
        if(viewPager!=null)
        {
            setUpViewPager(viewPager);
        }
        TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
    }
       private void setUpViewPager(ViewPager viewPager)
        {
            Adapter adapter=new Adapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
            adapter.addFragment(new About(),"Article 1");
            adapter.addFragment(new About(),"Article 2");
            adapter.addFragment(new About(),"Article 3");

            viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
           }
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
    static class Adapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
        private final List<Fragment> mFragments = new ArrayList<>();
        private final List<String> mFragmentTitles = new ArrayList<>();

        public Adapter(FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm);
        }

        public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, String title) {
            mFragments.add(fragment);
            mFragmentTitles.add(title);
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            return mFragments.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return mFragments.size();
        }

        @Override
        public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
            return mFragmentTitles.get(position);
        }
    }
}

Output
