The 2.2 version of the Umano Android app features a sexy sliding up draggable panel for the currently playing article. This type of a panel is a common pattern also used in the Google Music app and the Rdio app. This is an open source implementation of this component that you are free to take advantage of in your apps. Umano Team <3 Open Source.
As seen in Umano (http://umanoapp.com):
To use the layout, simply include com.sothree.slidinguppaneldemo.SlidingUpPanelLayout
as the Root element in your activity Layout. Make sure that it has two children. The first child is your main layout. The second child is your layout for the sliding up panel. Both children should have width and height set to match_parent
. For more information, please refer to the sample code.
<com.sothree.slidinguppaneldemo.SlidingUpPanelLayout
android:id="@+id/sliding_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Main Content"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center|top"
android:text="The Awesome Sliding Up Panel"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</com.sothree.slidinguppaneldemo.SlidingUpPanelLayout>
For smooth interaction with the ActionBar, make sure that windowActionBarOverlay
is set to true
in your styles:
<style name="AppTheme">
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
You can restrict the drag area of the sliding panel to a specific view by using the setDragView
method. Otherwise, the whole panel will be slideable and it will intercept all clicks.
You can change the panel height by using the setPanelHeight
method.
You can change the panel shadow by using the setShadowDrawable
method. No shadow is displayed by default.
Implementation
This code is heavily based on the opened-sourced SlidingPaneLayout component from the r13 of the Android Support Library. Thanks Android team! Requrements
