Hide address bar on chrome mobile

Question

I have spent a lot of time reading several approaches about this subject. None of the suggestions seem to work for me though. I would like to make the adress bar of a browser under Android/iPhone etc. disappear to get a native app feeling. At the moment I am trying to make this happen for Android (Chrome). I hoped it would be easy with the new Chrome version because it hides the bar when scrolling. But using window.scrollTo(x,y) just scrolls the page without making the address bar disappear.

I hope anybody can help me.
