This is to create a bar of buttons at the bottom of PageFragment, that will contain most of the actions currently available in the overflow menu. If possible, use a CoordinatorLayout to automatically hide the toolbar upon scrolling the article.
The problem
The article actions are not accessible while reading the entire article. As a user, I have to scroll to top to save an article or share an article.
iOS action bar
The hypothesis
If we create a sticky toolbar at the bottom of the article which hosts the actions that you can take with an article, user can access them while reading the article. This will also encourage use of these actions. We would like to avoid "out of sight out of mind" effect here. specially since we are improving saving experience, we would like to have access to it all the time.
The toolbar design guide is here by google > https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/toolbars.html
