I would like to know how to setup the animation where, for in example in the latest Twitter for Android App, you can swipe a tweet to the side, and a quick menu will appear(not the old popup one).
Thanks..
Since this is a really cool feature and I didn't find an implementation for that I created it myself. I started a project which will contain this feature (besides other dev tools).
Update:
The project has moved to GitHub (android-toolbox)
The project contains that feature and meanwhile has some good bugfixes since I used it in another app. The feature is called swipeable quick action.
There's a showcase application which demonstrates it and shows you what the code looks like. For quick starters there's an APK file in the download section so you can see what it it is without have to read everything you find in the project wiki.
If you want to see this feature in a real application you can check my banshee-remote project (screenshots). The application itself is interesting only when your using Banshee as your favorite music player.
Critic, requests, bug reports or any kind of feedback is very welcome! I'll respond to every message ;-)

Prerequisites: Got a working app from a friend who needs some changes made. They were outsourcing and now want to internally manage it.
I come from a web and game dev background, so Android/IOS development is new to me, but a lot of the principles seem to be the same.
I got the project onto my device, installed all of the dependencies, and fixed all of the file paths.
The app successfully builds, and I have my virtual Android device running it great!
However, my buddy wants some really simple layout changes, and for the life of me, I can't find where to just edit the home screen layout. I was trying to solve my issue from a web dev approach, by grepping where the logo screen is used in the app, but those files seem to just load a white "background" layer, and not the entire composed page?
I'm missing something really silly here, and I just want to ask a real person on here, instead of digging through documentation and trying to word a condensed question in a Google search.
Here are my condensed questions: How can I just edit the home screen of my app in Android Studio? Where can I find the full home page file to view the entire layout, and not just a fragment?
Edit: The app also utilizes the Flutter SDK, which may explain why I have been having trouble with layout edits. I'm going to look at it again after work today, and hopefully answer my own question. I appreciate the help so far!
Edit 2: After going back to the app with a different approach, I found out my project had defaulted to the "android" sub folder of my master, and wasn't showing any of the Flutter .dart documents. After going up one folder directory, I was finally able to access that Main.Dart file with the display information.
I was able to mount it for inspection, but its saying my emulated device isn't supported. I need to look at it when I have time tonight, and may need to ask a separate question for it. I have my project sdk set to Android 33, and my virtual device is set to Android version 33. I searched around Stack, with a few people with reporting similar issues. I tried following their solutions, but it didn't seem to work.
At developer.android.com I found a tutorial called "Build a simple user interface". Unfortunately, it is based on an older version of Android Studio. It tells the user to open activity_main.xml. If one does this, the user cannot find the right icons in the toolbar. I searched and someone said open content_main.xml instead. This indeed posts the right icons in the toolbar, but as one continues in the tutorial, more and more errors appear. My question is: Is there a newer Android Studio User Interface tutorial that is appropriate for the latest Android Studio, version 3.6.1?
I really want to learn how to build interfaces via Android Studio and not clumsily play directly with XML code. Thanks for any ideas!

I seem not to be able to find any of the Google Android samples. For example, I'm reading this: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/prop-animation.html#keyframes, and there is a link to a MultiPropertyAnimation sample which should show how to use keyframes. When I click there, it get redirected to a samples main page, and the sample I'm looking for is not there, or at least I can't find it. The same for quit a few other samples. I also tried importing the samples in Android Studio, which provides a search/filtering interface, and can't find anything there.
Has Google moved the samples, and forgotten to update the rest of the docs? Did the 'old' samples get deprecated and moved elsewhere? Can they still be accessed?
The latest (and most convenient way) to do it is:
open android studio
if a project is currently opened, close it (file -> close project)
on the following screen choose "Import an Android code sample".
Also see http://developer.android.com/samples/index.html
m using the android youtube player OpenYouTubeActivity, i'm using the svn source code, not the jar file provided in the project. But it seems that this activity is not working after the 4.3 android releases. the video is shown half of the full screen, but everything else works fine. THis issue is already logged on the issues list on the project site.
Anybody has any clue, whats happening? Any solution is greatly appreciated.
Its always best to use the jars, because you get the latest compiled code and its easy for the maintainers to maintain versions. But I think on the code branch the fix here is to decompile the jar using an open source decompiler like http://jd.benow.ca/ and then copy the code as is.
Then you can see where the changes have been made.

Okay here's the deal:
I want to download the full source of the MMS/SMS application that ships with Android phones. I want to be able to modify it, and add a little custom functionality to it.
I am developing using Eclipse, and I'm on Windows 7. I have noticed that there is now a Git for Windows, but I am pretty lost in it and not sure how to integrate everything with Eclipse.
Basically, I want to just get it to the point where I have all the source code visible in Eclipse and be able to see the app run JUST like the built-in texting/MMS app that is already on my phone. Then I'll know that I can modify it and proceed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
There's a mirror of the SMS/MMS app on GitHub here. Just import that to Eclipse and customise away.
Unless you want to customize and use it only on your own phone (without publishing), this is not a good idea. This is because it uses classes that are hidden from the sdk. By default you won't even be able to build the apk via eclipse, but there is a way. The reason why this is a bad idea is that the hidden apis are not guaranteed to remain the same through different api-levels and your app can stop working with the next android update, and might also not work on previous api-levels. In-fact your app might not even work on selected phones running the same api-level.
