SlidingPaneLayout - Animate similar to Android Hangouts app - android

I have implemented a SlidingPaneLayout with fragments that looks like this (summarizing)
<SlidingPaneLayout
android:xmlns="...."
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<ListView />
<FrameLayout />
</SlidingPaneLayout>
So the ListView is the "slide out" pane. It all works fine and exactly as I expect it to.
However, I'm interested in achieving the animate affect (where the ListView would come in from the left as the pane is pulled out, following the touch)
I've tried making a slide_in_left anim resource and setting it as a LayoutTransition, however this doesn't behave like I want it to. Guessing I need to do something with onPaneSlide?
Just wondering if there's a good way to implement this with SlidingPaneLayout, thanks!

Wow it's too easy I just overlooked it big time.
SlidingPaneLayout has a method, setParallaxDistance, which adds the effect I was referring to.

Is it possible to disapper the border of image button at particlualr selected areas in android?

I am trying to set a border for few of the image buttons for a particular screen layout in android. But for some buttons, I want to disable the border if the screen-layout background is blue colour. Please help me how to do this?
(I assume you design your app with Material Theme)
I think you can't do it (maybe possible with some hacky technique), because it's not intended to be that way.
Google has designed each view to underline each of their own purposes. So, I believe, If you can modify a button that way, it won't felt like a button to users thus can raise some misunderstanding.
What possibly user think if such button that doesn't have default blue, exist? Do they still think that as a Button?
Personally, I suggest that you leave the border as-is, if you still intended to make it feels like a Button.
Otherwise, if you really need it, you can always use CardView, put an ImageView inside it and attach OnClickListener to it. I think the result is quite similar because almost every rectangular view Google has nowadays, got similar visual to CardView.
Btw, I made this in my recent project to achieve a borderless Button-ey Image. Maybe it'll help.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp"
card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
card_view:contentPadding="0dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/clickable_photo_thumbnail_image_view"
android:layout_width="#dimen/photo_thumbnail_size"
android:layout_height="#dimen/photo_thumbnail_size"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
(UPDATE) This is the screenshot from my app, produced with above code:

(Android) ScrollView stutters on fling with long multiline EditTtext inside

I have the following problem, and I cannot figure out how to eve try solving it (or whether there is a way):
My problem
I have SrollView, containing to EditText input fields. One is a single line, below is a multiline. Everything's fine and works as expected, up until I put too much stuff into the multiline EditText. When I fast scroll the view, the scrolling skips and stutters, very obviously, the whole effect is rather disturbing. tried on a Galaxy S3 with a custom AOSP ROM, and Note 4 with official 5.1.1, no difference at all.
I would expect a very heavy EditText makes it difficult to smoothly redraw on a fling, but this starts happening with relatively short text (approx 4-5 screen-pages long).
Edit: This also seems to happen on a simple scroll, when I do as much as touch it and move it a few lines (scrolling is not near to being smooth, that is)
The setup
I have reduced the widgets to the bare minimum, even removed padding, only the problem does not improve. From the Java code I also removed anything (any styling, or typeface, anything that affects the widgets at all), still no improvement.
If this is of any significance, the ScrollView in question is inside a fragment, that is one of two pages of a ViewPager. There is nothing else on this fragment ATM.
Here's the XML (as you will see, it's as base as possible):
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:isScrollContainer="false"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
What I tried
Any advice I found regards only ListViews, and some attributes like android:smoothScrollbar, which have no effect here (I tried them all).
For the record, I did try out of frustration all of the below ( I know most of these has not much to do with ScrollViews, but I'm becoming hopeless here):
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
android:fastScrollEnabled="true"
android:scrollingCache="true"
android:smoothScrollbar="true"
and also tried setting from the Java code things like
.setSmoothScrollingEnabled(true);
.fling(3500);
still no luck.
Question recap
Is there any way to make a simple widget like this scroll smoothly at all?
Thanks for your time if you've read through and even more if you answer. :)

Is Google Glass adding margin to Activity?

When building layouts for Glass using Activity and Fragment it seems that some additional layout margins on top, left, right and bottom are present. Is there any way to reset that?
Do you also see these margins if you do screencast to yout mobile phone? In my case if i don't set any margin to the main layout of my activity, i can see some margin like you say, but if i do screencast to my mobile (with MyGlass app) I check that there isn't margin.
By convention there is a 40px margin round everything on a screen for glass, see the design guidelines or the developers site with example code
However you don't have to use them, by default the margins should be 0, so if you have a layout like:
<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/bg"
/>
</AbsoluteLayout>
It will show the image 'edge-to-edge' (640x350).
Of course with the screen on Glass it's hard to see where the actual edge is, so you really need to check a screen cast to check it's performing as expected.

What is the name for this layout under Android?

I would like to know if this kind of layout is supported under Android and what is its name.
The description:
the application is revealed by default in a main view and a menu will appear when making a "swipe gesture" from the margins to the center of the screen; usually this layout has to offer some kind of callback or manage to stop the underlaying activity for the application so the user can use the menu without interfering with what he is doing with the application itself.
Thanks.
If you are looking for a sliding layout, here is an example:
you can call it with:
<com.slidingmenu.lib.SlidingMenu
xmlns:sliding="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/slidingmenulayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
sliding:viewAbove="#layout/YOUR_ABOVE_VIEW"
sliding:viewBehind="#layout/YOUR_BEHIND_BEHIND"
sliding:touchModeAbove="margin|fullscreen"
sliding:touchModeBehind="margin|fullscreen"
sliding:behindOffset="#dimen/YOUR_OFFSET"
sliding:behindWidth="#dimen/YOUR_WIDTH"
sliding:behindScrollScale="#dimen/YOUR_SCALE"
sliding:shadowDrawable="#drawable/YOUR_SHADOW"
sliding:shadowWidth="#dimen/YOUR_SHADOW_WIDTH" />
There is no built in function like that, so you have to use third party libraries
There is no built in functionality for this behavior. You'll need to make it yourself.

Android - How to make a vertically-scrollable list

I am new to Android development, and have tried researching my question but can not find a suitable answer.
What I am trying to do is create a list of items, like the numbers 0-9 for example, and display that as a list that the user can scroll up or down to select the desired number, starting at 0.
The best example that I can think of is the HTC Sense timer, linked below (can not post pictures as a new user):
Sense Timer:
What I currently have is a Spinner, but that's not exactly what I want. I want the user to simply swipe up/down to make their selection, not press a button to bring up a drop-down list to make their selection.
Is there a simple way to do this that I am missing, or is it a fairly complicated thing to do? I have not been able to find an example on my own.
Thanks
This is simply known as Wheel View in android. I am not much aware of its implementation, but here is a very good demo. Take a look at it.
http://android-devblog.blogspot.in/2010/05/wheel-ui-contol.html
This will get you started with it.
Here is another one,
http://android-devblog.blogspot.in/2011/01/android-wheel-update-custom-views-for.html
Try ScrollView, may this will work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ScrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
//Your Components
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
You need to use a listview and an adapter for this. Its a very simple way to implement the vertical scrolling list of items. Please refer the code from the following link:
