Android: Sliding object without sliding the background - android

I'm trying to make application.
If the button on page 1 is clicked the page goes to page 2 by sliding the page 1 and the background is not sliding too.
I've tried android:detachWallpaper="true" but its not working, it still moves the background.
I also have tried using FrameLayout and fragment but there's error when its trying to show messagebox and accessing another class.
the error log:
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.myfirstapp/com.example.fragment.MainFragment}: java.lang.NullPointerException
Does anyone knows the best solution?

this totally depends upon your UI implementation there is no default guidelines for the same, below are the possible implementation scenarios through which this can be easily achieved.
Framelayout and fragment (you already tried)
ViewFlipper (set background to flipper, and keep flipping different views just like you want)
View Pager (Same as flipper but with adapter support)

Display slidingUpPanel across all activities

I'm trying to add a slidingUpPanel(Sliding up panel) across all activities. This panel consists of a viewpager which in turn consists of two fragments. One of these fragments has a recyclerView (more than 1000 items) and the other fragment has some data that changes dynamically depending on the users' choice. This panel is very similar to that of google play music and soundcloud. Now to display this panel I tested two approaches:
1) I created a base activity and added the sliding up panel to it and then extended rest of the activities to base activity. So this way I have to create only one panel and viewpager.
2) I included the sliding up panel in all activities. But this approach is quite unmanageable as I have create viewpagers for all activities and if data changes in one activity I have to write the code to reflect that change across all activities.
Now the problem with both the methods is that each time I open a new activity, a new instance of the viewpager and fragments is created. So, suppose if I have 1000+ items in the recyclerview fragment, switching activities takes more than 2-3 seconds, because each time new instance of fragment is created and the data is loaded all again. This will definitely result in bad user experience.
Is there any way by which the viewpager and the fragments are created only once(when the app starts) and are destroyed only when user closes the app? And data should not load each time user switches activities. I just want to reduce the activity switching time. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Well, for such ui elements as your sliding panel, which stays the same for many items it is preferable to have a single activity.
So if you have 1 activity, you can have a viewpager inside sliding panel, and that part stays untouched. Next, inside your activity you can have FrameLayout wich can be used to host fragments. Doing this you can achieve single instance of sliding panel and navigation between content with fragments.
Having some heavy data collections makes you wishing minimum recreation of that items.
Two approaches for this are (assuming you're using SlidingUpPanelLayout by sothree)
With bottom navigation view
Easy way to do it is creating a bottom navigation view and keeping it in MainActivity and attaching the sliding up panel layout to the bottom navigation view ( layout_above = bottomnavbar_id ) since bottom navigation stays throughout the app so sliding up panel will also have to stay with it
Without bottom navigation view
Create a frame layout inside MainActivity give attributes width and height as match_parent and create slidinguppanelayout and give attributes gravity="bottom"
make the frame layout stay above that slidinguppanellayout , use that frame_layout to show content your want to show from fragments
that's all

How to change images when navigate into next fragment?

I'm trying to design a guide section in my app using fragments. I'm using 6 fragments in my GuidActivity.java which related to its activity activity_guid.xml , the activity contains coordenator layout which contains an image of dotsat the bottom, I want when I navigate into next fragment the image get changed to another image (the next image has yellow second dot ) and so on , any help or more simple idea to preview the progress of fragments ??
Use a ViewPager instead, you will have gesture support and onPageChanged triggered when you scroll to next page.

How to go about building an expanding fragment in Android?

So, I'm working on a media player application.
I would like to make something similar to Google Play Music's or SoundCloud's slide up mini-player to full-player UX.
I'm not really sure how to tackle that, though. Is it simply two fragments/views? I can understand how to transition onClick with animations, but how would I go about the fluid dragging?
Yes, it can be done with a fragment, OnTouchListener, and dragging the fragment up. I've done it with a click event and animation with no dragging.
The activity is on the bottom and the container with the fragment placed on top via the xml.
I wouldn't call it expanding though. Its just not fully revealed on screen (i.e. the location is on and off the screen and the fragment isn't actually changing).

How to use multiple Fragment in single activity in different times

I am making an app in which the header and footer would be same through out the app. i can start another activity with the same pattern of design in header and footer but as the other activity starts there comes a delay and we can easily notice that a new activity has pop up.
So what I want :
I want that if user click on any button from the footer the content in the middle between header and footer should be change and user should not see any jump which is made when I move to other activity.
So for this I know that I can use fragments. But for some reasons I can not use fragment activity. All I want to move fragment in the center only. So How can i do that . and How can I initialize other things which are in new fragment let say the upcoming fragment could have button so in this way , I wanted to know would it make my main activity heavy which is calling all these fragment
So please guide me through the demo code .
Note: please do not refer me to a fragment link just past some code to give me some idea.
Will be easiest to have the activity implement the header and footer and the variable content as fragments.
Please refer to this post. It has everything you need

android-adding tabs in view flipper

I am developing an android application in which I have creted a TabActivity. For each tab I am using a separate activity and a separate layout file. Actually this activity is a details screen which shows customer information. The user can click on an item in a listview activity in order to see customer's detailed info in the tab acticity. There he can use navigation buttons to navigate through the customers In a few words, if the listview displays 10 records and the user clicks on the first item the customer details.tabactivity opens and displays detailed info. Using the navigation butons the user can see the next or previous record.
Now, I would like to use a viewflipper in the details screen in order to use animations while navigating through the records and in the end. to use fling gestures instead of buttons. Nevertheless I haven't found a proper example of how to add a tabhost/tabactivity in the flipper. I also thought to create the tabs using one layout in order to add it to the viewflipper but then I have no way to create the tabs inside the activity that hosts the viewfliper.
Any help would be apreciated. Thank you in advance.
ps. I will create a basic app of what I am talking and upload if that would be helpful
The ViewPager may be more appropriate for what you are trying to do.
