Android sidebar

Question

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:

1. progressively revealed as I swipe in one direction
2. progressively hides as I swipe in the other direction
3. can be a custom width
4. 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?

Answer 1

Sound like you're describing a Gallery control. There are some examples in the ApiDemos project here.
