I developed two menu like in Facebook app.
One of them contains expandableListView.
UseCase:
I open the menu, then I open a section. Now, My translation is closed by the redrawn, So it hides my menu.
To open my menu, I apply translation and then remove it and use offsetLeftAndRight to keep it open:
mainlayout.clearAnimation();
mainlayout.offsetLeftAndRight(pxTranslateMenu);
I tried to create my own view to solve this problem. But I have the same result when my items go from GONE to VISIBLE. When items go from INVSIBLE to VISIBLE all is OK, but i have a wrong render (free space where my items are placed).
Is there anyway of doing what i want : Keeping my menu open after clicking on section?
Thanks.
I tried to use some other component to avoid Accordion.
But i have the same problem when an EditText take focus or when i select an item in an AlertDialog.
I just found a way to overpass this problem.
I just create a new activity wich has a translucent part.
In this way, i can do what i want.
I hope that i'm gonna be able to resolve all demand by this way.

I am new to writing Android apps, I have been using the internet and Android Studio to create an app for my club as a bit of fun and learn along the way. I have been watching videos, using tutorials and walkthroughs and I am getting to learn the basics.
However, I have got stuck. I used a drawer template from Android Studio and added the activities I needed and buttons on the main screen to the activities and they all worked fine, no overlapping. When I tried to link the drawer icons to the activities, rather than use the buttons on the main screen, they work, but the app (visually) puts the next activities content on top of the one before.
I cant find anything on the internet except something called backstacking, but that is described when the back arrow is used, my problem is to do with selecting an activity from the drawer menu. I have attached a picture to show what I mean. It gets worse the more menu items that are selected.
If anyone could help, it would be great!
If you are using XML root layout as a constraint layout maybe your constraints are missing. If you are using constraint layout set both top/bottom and left/right constraint.
If your constraints only top for example it is look good on desing but in device that dont know where to positioning left or right and automatically positioning 0 point to top.
When you click one any one menu item put the visibility of other images as gone like
visibility(View.GONE);
and the one selected to be visible
I need to create a List view. However this list view is somewhat of a pull down menu. That is, I have to create a button on top of screen, where on clicking it, a list view will be displayed (pulled down) from top.
Can some one give me an idea about this? I mean, what is this component in Android and how do I go about it creating it?
I know the normal way of creating a list view but not this.
Hey thanks all for your replies i finally got want i wanted to implement.The following link helped me achieve it:

Typically you would use a Single Choice Dialog.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#AddingAList
If you want to do it Pull-down-from-top. You'll need to use Panel Custom view from this project.
If a pull-from-below will suffice, use a Sliding Drawer. (From Android 3.0, Sliding Drawer can be configured to be pulled down aswell. See Here)
Have the Listview inside the Drawer/Panel.
I'm trying to set up a menu that appears when the user starts the app for the 1st time, so they can set it up by choosing from 1 of 6 items. It needs to start automatically dependent on a boolean value taken from sharedPreferences.
I have been trying to create a context menu, but its not working and I'm not sure if its the right way to go about it.
Has anyone done this and is context menu the right way to go? If not, please could you point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
You shouldn't be using a ContextMenu for this kind of design. You should be using a Custom Dialog for the configuring of your app. Using perhaps a ViewSlider to allow multiple configuration screens or just one View with all the configuration options in a ScrollView.
I have a menu for about, exit.
But i need to create another static menu for options.
I will prefer to be at the top of the list that i have.
like:
Create, Edit
List
and when i press the menu button to open the (Exit,About).
If You can help, it will be perfect.
Thank you , have a good day.
Please see this post, and this one. The second post has nothing to do with what you want, it's just a nifty way to spruce up your UI by adding a QuickAction. The first post shows you how to build an "ActionBar" for Android.
I'm very new to android and I am wondering how I can have 2 windows displaying content at the same time.
Here is an example:
I have a HorizontalScrollView at the bottom of the screen which houses the buttons for a menu. Above it, I would like a window(like a JFrame) that I can change depending on which button from the menu was pressed. The ScrollView menu must remain unchanged an exist as a separate entity(if you know what I mean).
How can I go about doing this? I don't want to have to draw the menu every time a user click a button and a new page is displayed. I have a feeling it has something to do with intents and Activities, but I'm not sure.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.

Interpreting you literally, you can't, but that's because "window" does not mean what you think it does.
Here is an example: I have a HorizontalScrollView at the bottom of the screen which houses the buttons for a menu.
Get rid of it and replace it with an options menu, so your application blends in with the platform.
Above it, I would like a window(like a JFrame) that I can change depending on which button from the menu was pressed. The ScrollView menu must remain unchanged an exist as a separate entity(if you know what I mean). How can I go about doing this?
Option #1: Get rid of the HorizontalScrollView, use an options menu, and use separate activities for each "window"
Option #2: Use a ViewFlipper, with one child of the ViewFlipper for each "window".
Of the two, Option #1 will generally be much better, for memory management, state management, code complexity, and UI design.
