android lollipop toolbar: how to hide/show the toolbar while scrolling?

I'm using the new toolbar widget introduced in the appcompat / support-v7. I would like to hide/show the toolbar depending on if the user is scrolling up/down the page, just like in the new Google's playstore app or NewsStand app. Is there something built into the toolbar widget for this or should I be using it in conjunction with FrameLayout and ObservableScrollView?

As far as I know there is nothing build in that does this for you. However you could have a look at the Google IO sourcecode, especially the BaseActivity. Search for "auto hide" or look at onMainContentScrolled

In order to hide the Toolbar your can just do something like this:

toolbar.animate().translationY(-toolbar.getBottom()).setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator()).start();

If you want to show it again you call:

toolbar.animate().translationY(0).setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator()).start();

For hiding the toolbar you can just do :

getSupportActionBar().hide();

So you just have to had a scroll listener and hide the toolbar when the user scroll !
