Android - Coordinator Layout, Drawer Layout and Fragments

Question

I have spent some time trying to implement this, and did my fair bit of research but couldn't make it work. In the cheesesquare example by Chris Banes, he makes the toolbar scroll away when the ViewPager is scrolled. The ViewPager is included directly in his drawer layout, just before the NaviagtionView.

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <!-- THIS CONTAINS COORDINATOR LAYOUT with APPBAR LAYOUT + VIEWPAGER -->
    <include layout="@layout/include_list_viewpager"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer_view"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

The include_list_viewpager file is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_content"
    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="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"/>

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    </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.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_done"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I would like to have a FrameLayout (or NestedScrollView) instead of the ViewPager. Then, I could dynamically load fragments in it as the user clicks on the drawer layout items, and all of them would have a nice animated Toolbar. So far, I'm not able to make the Toolbar scroll away when operating in the invoked fragments. I wonder if it is at all possible.

Has anybody achieved this? Any pointer is greatly appreciated.

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

CoordinatorLayout must be the parent of all views. DrawerLayout gets the layout_behavior. Since you want to interact with the elements of viewpager, it needs to be in the top view of the DrawerLayout.
