I am creating a custom gallery activity on the left side will have a tools panel and the right is where the preview image with list of thumbnails at the bottom.
Inside the tools, we have an option which let the user to click into full screen mode so the right side will be shown in full screen.
This is my first time doing this. I am wondering Fragment is the best solutions to do it.
The left fragment are the tool panel and the right fragment contains the gallery. When the full screen button in the left fragment was clicked, the left fragment's width became 0dp whereas the right fragment took the whole area.
You can use standard android-navigation drawer, where you can have your "tools"/widgets on a drawer panel and show the gallery in the container fragment.
or you can have a custom-design something like this: sattelite-menu
to have tools and display gallery as usual.
I have developed a similar app : blimp-github
Fragments are best solution to have if your app has very few screens where user is expected to swipe-navigate(makes it much simpler),
hope it helps....

I have fitted my app with a NavDrawer following the Android Material Design spec.
But initially the idea I had for my App's Navigation Drawer was different, I would like to maintain that design, but I need advice with the approach.
I have uploaded an image of what I would like to achieve.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/uzRBe.jpg
The user can click on button 2 and due to the nature of button 2, only that portion of the NavDrawer will slide out, or the user can slide the drawer out manually using a finger, and the drawer slides out and snaps to the edge of the screen just like the Android notification menu that u can slide from the top of your device.
Clicking on button four will slide the entire Group of buttons (due to the nature of content on button 4), button two would remain on the right if it were already there to start with.
Button 1 which would be the home button would check that all other buttons are in place (to the left) otherwise it draws them in then loads the home content into the main view.
I am not sure which way to approach this, using the Material Spec NavDrawer, or I custom design multiple linear layouts that follow the user's Xposition gestures.
Currently, I have a Material Spec NavDrawer, so the code is standard
Better to use the default Android Drawer Actvitity that comes with Android studio 2.0 and modify it.
it will save you allot of bugs
if you still want to create a cosutm one
you can either use what was suggested here >
http://simonvt.github.io/android-menudrawer/
or you can just choose one from this site >
https://android-arsenal.com/search?q=Drawer
it has some open library drawer helpers to help you write one.
i woul'd suggest against writing everything from scrach, it looks like allot of works and introduce allot of bugs, as to what needs to be on top of what every time, that you can fix by either using a library or taking the default one.

I have a news app.It is supposed to launch by swiping on the screen(homescreen or while in any other activity like switchr app).I learned to code swiping patterns but in my case I have to do exactly in the following way(swiping bottom right to top left)..Kindly have a look over following pictorial representation
1.Firstly app should launch by swiping bottom right to top left on the screen
2.next,show the user with list of scrollable arc menu buttons embedded in it like second image
3.when a user clicks on particular button it has to show a brief description about the content like third image
my problems:
creating arc like scrollable menu on bottom right side of the screen(I googled sia ahmed's solution over here ,it helped me a bit)
creating that parachute like structure(image 3) when user clicks particular bubble like button in arc menu..
please guide me
For the menu check out arcmenu by daCapricorn on github. Also see this question.
The balloon bit is trickier. I know of a balloon hint code for android but i haven't seen it in action.
Hope this helps!
I would like to create a screen similar to the settings screen on the android tablet. The screen is split in two with a list on the right. When a item is selected on the right the details are shown on the left. I also want to have similar graphics in terms of the littel arrow that shows which item has been selected. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I need to get slider pop up window,when i click a tab control available at bottom.when i click the tab,i need to show the slider pop up from bottom to top animated to show the login button,after login i have to move my actual tab Activity.How can i get the view for slider pop up.
lets refer the screenshots,i attached here what i need exactly..
.
From these when user to choose login at the time second screen appears looks like it.
How can i get the view like this above.
Thanks in advance..
Get the sliding drawer view by id, cast it to a SlidingDrawer and then there is a function the SlidingDrawer object to pop it up. You might have some weird issues though with screen state if users do stuff like hit back or close the slider.
To do what you need in the screenshot, do a sliding drawer with an empty handle and slide that up from the bottom as needed. The sliding drawer is just another layout that can contain buttons, etc.
Here is an example: http://www.androidpeople.com/android-sliding-drawer-example-tutorial/
