I have written an Android App, which uses ViewPager to swipe between different Views of my app. This works very well, but the animation isn't like I want it to be.
The current view swipes out to the right, and the new enters from left. But I want the current view to leave like a layer to the right, so that the user can see the new view, which was "under" the current view. I want the "old" view to stay at the right side, so it can return onclick.
The current Evernote App uses this behaviour. I attached a screenshot. Thanks ;-)!

You can refer Sliding-Sidebar. This has Facebook like slideout effect.
Quick reference of the above library :
You can download the Android UI Patterns app. from the Google Play and see the effects you require. Its inside ActionBar & Dashboard --> gui-sliding-sidebar.
you should use the fly in app menu here below demo project will help you
https://github.com/korovyansk/android-fb-like-slideout-navigation
I would suggest you use SlidingMenu It is a very good and solid library with an active developer. It works well with ActionbarSherlock too which is great for backwards compatibility.
SlidingMenu
An Android library that allows developers to easily create slide-in menus like in the Spotify and Facebook applications.

I need a navigation bar that doesn't slideIn above the current view (the usual overlapping stype), instead it should be as in new ebay app (as if scrolling the wallpaper in homescreen with more than one page). Is it possible to add this effect to material-design-navigation-view? How do I do it?
You can use Sliding Menu Library for your requirement. Here is the link to that library
Sliding Menu Library
And if you are using Android Studio then see this link to add it in your project
Importing in Android Studio
There is no default way to really do this. However, this thread of StackOverflow will help you: push activity on the right when open drawer
Another GitHub library that may suit your need is: Material Drawer. You can download the demo on Google Play Store (same name). A similar approach is the Persistent Header Drawer
I want to put settings in left side of screen.
There will be switcher, listviews and textviews.
In result I need like this example:
Is it possible and how I can start with?
You can use Sliding Menu Library to give such effect...
You can get the code from here.
You can also refer this link.
It's possible, and you can implement it using the Navigation Drawer which comes with android support library.
You must check out the Ribbon Menu
1) What's the Purpose
Ease of Access: Allow easy access to a menu that slides in and out
Ease of Implementation: Update the same screen using minimal amount of code
Independency: Does not require support libraries such as ActionBarSherlock
Customization: Easy to change colors and menus
2)What's New
Changed the sliding animation to match Facebook and Google+ apps
Added standard ActionBar (you can chose to use ActionBarSherlock)
Used menuitem to open the Menu
Added ability to update ListView on main Activity
Added 2 ListViews to the Menu, similiar to Facebook and Google+ apps
Added a AutoCompleteTextView and a Button as well to show examples of implemenation
Added method to allow users to hit the 'back button' to hide the menu when it is open
Allows users to interact with background(main ListView) and the menu at the same time unlike the Facebook and Google+ apps!
OR
You can also try out with Sliding Menu
You have to add one library file slider.jar into your project and follow this example for the same :

What is complete replacement of iOS Tabs Replacement in Android.
I Know that Android is Android and we don't Imitate other platforms on Android. I have Studied Pure Android
But All I want to have the replacment of iOS tabs in Android with following features.
1.) Stores Navigation flow for each tab, As in iOS there is navigation controller for each tab and we can have the previous state for each tab while switching from tab to tab.
2.) Desirable but not necessary- Double click on tab button will refresh the view with the root view as per in iOS.
3.) The animation while switching from tab to tab or with in Tab does not swipe the complete Tabs(including the TAB Bar). It means only the content of each Tab should be replaceable with separate Activity or something like this.
4.) In short User Experience must be similar to iOS Tab Bar.
What I have Tried so far.
1.) Added Tabs with TabHost on bottom of screen.But I Haven't got the stack navigation for each Tab separately.
(Something like: https://github.com/AdilSoomro/Iphone-Tab-in-Android)
2.) Also I have an idea of Using Stack (Java Collection Framework.) But that will be a headache to maintain all the stack by my self.
So, Guys In short:
Do you have any ideas of any Third Party Library, that I can use in my project without much problem to achieve all the features mentioned above?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
This one is best to implement iOS like tabs in Android
Like this:
You can use the native tabs and style it to seem like iOS ones.
Use Fragments, and store/reload the "Natigation flow" at the onPause/onRestore methods in each Fragment or in the FragmentActivity when you change form one fragment to an other.
BTW, please don't do that. If you studied Pure Android, what's the point do you want to achieve? Android is Android and iOS is iOS, do not mix them please.
UPDATE: 3 September 2017
An other, and imho better, approach to do so is make use of the Bottom Navigation. Take a look to materialdocs to learn how to use it.
In the new GMail app you can slide out the list of folders from the left side.
I'd like to learn how this is done, and know if this is a feature of the Android SDK or did Google implement a custom effect to make this happen.
I've read about SliderDrawer and Fragments, but nothing seems similar to what they do.
This is the new DrawerLayout UI pattern. They have instructions on how to set it up in your app.
Use NavigationDrawer
and done with framelayout
I've been using firefox for Android and really like the use of the sidebar to hold shortcut icons and the like. How would I go about creating a similar bar myself with the following attributes:
progressively revealed as I swipe in one direction
progressively hides as I swipe in the other direction
can be a custom width
I can dynamically inject layout in to it or it can hold static content
Is there any open source code available? If not, what approach would I use to create this?
Sound like you're describing a Gallery control. There are some examples in the ApiDemos project here.
The first part can be solved by using a ListView. The second part I don't know yet. I'm looking for such a component as well.
