I'm extremely new to java and coding for Android (new to programming in general). I haven't programmed much before so I wasn't able to think about this and whether or not I'd be able to implement when I first started designing this app. I would really appreciate some help or guidance, or at least pointers. I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question and thanks in advance for all answers.
Mockup
Here is a mockup of the layout I want to create. It mainly cosists of a List, which displays information and images. (Should be ScrollView so that it can go up and down?)
Below is a button which will send information to another Fragment or Activity.
Both these layouts need to be part of an ImageView, able to be swiped left and right. Also need to add circle indicators (I've seen libraries that are capable of helping me achieve this)
There is also a Navigation Drawer at the top left which I will try to use RecyclerView with.
And lastly, there is a bottom navigation bar, which I'm currently able to do by using a library from com.roughike:bottom-bar:2.3.1 and navigating between different Fragments.
Please give me some advice on what to do or some pointers on how I might go about creating this sort of layout.
Thank you!

I would like to ask about the tinder-like swipeable card stack for my application. The point of it is that users will be able to see photos and swipe when they want to see another one. I'm already sending and receiving images to and from webservice and I have been trying some libraries that could manage to do this (googled 'swipedeck' and 'swipecard') but non of them either offered enough flexibility to customize actions fully, or were not working with ImageViews, only TextView.
Now I'm new at this, but I figured that there has to be some kind of RecyclerView, TabLayout or some other implementation that would make it possible to do this and would include also transitions/sliding effects between pictures. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Could you please help me by posting your ideas? It would help a lot, and I do not need any specific code parts, I will do my research later on based on your ideas. Thank you a lot!
This is the official guide on creating sliding screens using Viewpager. This should help you get started : Using Viewpager for Screen Slides
There is a project in github that does exactly that - it's called "TinderStack", and you can find it at https://github.com/lawloretienne/TinderStack
I'm trying to figure out navigation in the app I'm making, and want it to look like it does on the phone to the right (link below), except I want the menu at the bottom to be directly below the tabs. I tried googling and searching for hours, but I cant seem to figure out.
I have managed to make the tabs (with Fragments and such).
I apologize if this really isn't that hard, but being new to this it is kind of hard to wrap your head around everything. Either way, thanks.
I think you are looking for a custom layout.

Look at section 5, should be pretty simple from there.
That being said, don't fight the OS. I always ask myself questions like: Do you really need tabs above a menu? Can you quote another application doing that?
This may be a very juvenile question, but this has been driving me insane the last few days. I currently have an app that has 3 tabs. I would like to update it so you can swipe left and right to view each tab (as opposed to touching each tab). I have found a ton of methods on doing this, but I'm still very confused. I have been told to implement an Action Bar with Tabs as well as fragments, and I have found other sources that use Page Viewers. Either way this has been a thorn in my side to find something that is what I need. Is there any good documentation on doing a basic left and right swipe using tabs? I'm very sorry if this question is repetitive to others.
I really think that a ViewPager (as described here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/08/horizontal-view-swiping-with-viewpager.html) is what would be best for you.
And yes, it involves fragments.
I wanted to ask how i can create a good swipe animation when switching from one xml layout to an other in android?
It would be very kind if somebody could gibve me an example code. Thank you very much!
You're looking for the ViewPager. It's been asked in many other questions before. Read this blog post for more information.
I want to create a UI similar to the images shown in the links given below.
http://www.4shared.com/photo/EU1KsEPC/device1.html
http://www.4shared.com/photo/tcQMx75T/device2.html
The requirement is, when I swipe to the right, it should go to the 2nd, 3rd pages and so on. And swiping to the left should go to the previous page.
How can I create such a UI? What layout should I use?
Any help in this regard would be well appreciated with points.
Best Regards,

I think you should look into a GridView.
