This library is excellent for my case and very others

Take a look at these links (specially second link):

Android google-play-liked listview

ListView with a (half- and or) hidable header

Answer 3

As others have suggested, use ObservableScrollView from: https://github.com/ksoichiro/Android-ObservableScrollView

Try putting both the Toolbar and the SlidingTabStrip in the same container, then animate that container as the user scrolls the ObservableScrollView, for example:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent"
         tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.github.ksoichiro.android.observablescrollview.ObservableListView
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/toolbarContainer"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:elevation="10dp"
        android:background="@color/material_deep_teal_200"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"/>

            <!--Placeholder view, your tabstrip goes here-->
            <View
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="48dp"/>
   </LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Then when you override the ObservableScrollViewCallbacks you could do something like this:

@Override
public void onScrollChanged(int scrollY, boolean firstScroll, boolean dragging) {

    toolbarContainer.animate().cancel();

    int scrollDelta = scrollY - oldScrollY;
    oldScrollY = scrollY;

    float currentYTranslation = -toolbarContainer.getTranslationY();
    float targetYTranslation = Math.min(Math.max(currentYTranslation + scrollDelta, 0), toolbarHeight);
    toolbarContainer.setTranslationY(-targetYTranslation);
}

@Override
public void onUpOrCancelMotionEvent(ScrollState scrollState) {
    float currentYTranslation = -toolbarContainer.getTranslationY();
    int currentScroll = listView.getCurrentScrollY();

    if (currentScroll < toolbarHeight) {
        toolbarContainer.animate().translationY(0);
    } else if (currentYTranslation > toolbarHeight /2) {
        toolbarContainer.animate().translationY(-toolbarHeight);
    } else {
        toolbarContainer.animate().translationY(0);
    }
}

The onUpOrCancelMotionEvent stuff is to animate the container to prevent the toolbar from being only half shown/hidden.

Great that you answer your question by yourself ;) Here is another small hint: Use a seperated layout for your tabs or integrate them into your toolbar and then tranlsate the toolbar only as far as you can see the tabs on top.
