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 want to implement a side drawer widget. I don't know if I am using the right words or not. A small icon will be placed on the left/right side of the screen, if it is swiped, it should open an activity. If I close it, it should remain on the side of the screen until application is closed from the inside. I have seen this in an application and I am posting screen shot too.
Notice the image hint on the left side. Its always there even if we press home button:
I searched for it but didn't find anything. I guess it's because I am not searching with the correct words maybe? It would be great if I knew the name of this widget.
I do not find on Internet, what is the name of this button ?
And I want to know what is the exact action when an application is deleted like this :
With this action, the application is not really stopped
The Third Image means Square is called Overview button(Recent Button). When Click on That Button the list of application is display which you are work on it. and you can simply remove app from the list by slide app Right to Left.

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'm trying to make an extra effect to menu that will come down from the top of the screen
I want to make it enter the screen while swiping it from the top and if the user left it, it should continue to the end
this is the figure that demonstrate what I want to do:
I tried to do it with animation but the animation will not go on while swiping and it will go to the end without touching

Check this out for a sliding Drawer http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SlidingDrawer.html
it sound like you kind of want the same thing as the pulldown menu at the top of all android phones except you want it customized, the link will show you that.
OK
It works for me now
I used SlidingTray.java class from this API
API Website
btw : this api open source
