My Samsung Galaxy Duos phone has a small pull out tab on the left edge which basically pulls out a panel for quick access to Gmail, FB etc (as seen in the picture attached). I would like to do the same for my android app's navigation drawer. I tried to look it up on google and do some reading. However, I didn't get much success. Is it even possible to customize this in Android. Any help is much appreciated.
Use this. Just on each item in ListView put action to start new Activity via Intent. Other things are pure cosmetic.

Recently Tapatalk updated their app and a new menu appeared, which I haven't seen before.
Does anyone know what this menu is called?
There is an image in the top left corner which is 3 orange horizontal lines, when you press on it a menu pops out from the left.
I am trying to write my own app and wanted to use this.
I have seen it in a few apps now.
I would upload an image but I am unable to at the moment
From what I can see in the app screenshots, this is a quite typical menu which slides in from the left in many Windows Phone apps these days. It can also be seen in Facebook, for example.
There is a good blog post explaining how to implement that written by Dan Ardelean:
Add side menus to an Windows Phone application (similar to the Facebook app)
It comes down to using gestures (or button click) to bring a part of the app into view.
You could also make a Flipview with 3 pages (FlipViewItems), it would be almost the same as the Facebook app
How to implement a navigation bar like the facebook app for wp8
I want to implement a navigation bar for my wp8 app, it look like the facebook app for windows phone 8, Click on the left menu to slide profile pages ... or Swipe left to show profile page, swipe right to show friend.
My idea is host 3 pages (Profile Page, MainPage, FriendPage) on a phoneapplicationframe, when use click on the profile icon the Profile Page will be visible and the Mainpage will be margined to left ... , It is possible? How can i do it.
Any feedback will help me so much. Please help me, i'm stucked here.
Thanks you.
I've blogged about a possible solution for this, but I have to agree an usercontrol would be a better option!

I believe it was only one single page whose width is more than the screen's width. And the default view is achieved by setting the margin or other property which is for you to findout using trial and error.
First, create a custom control/user control as design same as profile icon pressing profile page.
Then, drag it onto your main page. and set it margin properly how you want.
When you press the profile icon button. Then only you need to show it and collapse it when tapping screen.
I have this requirement where i have to show a menu when users slide their finger down the screen. Just like viewing notifications in android and iOS.
If not the same thing may be any alternatives that i can use.
I'm new to windows phone development.
Please help.
While it can be done on your own, it's a pain to do well, and Telerik has already done this - check out their Data Bound ListBox control - http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone/overview/all-controls/databoundlistbox.aspx
Im creating an app (rather big one) with Worklight. When im testing the app in an android phone and press the backbutton it closes the app.. now i want it to go back one page. Right now the page navigation is with dojox mobile implemented system. this way:
<button data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.ToolBarButton" data-dojo-props="transition:'fade',dir:'1',moveTo:'Contact'" class="buttonHem" style="color:black; font-size:1em;">Kontakta Oss</button>
is there a way to use the android backbutton without having to redo everything?
we have deadline in 2 weeks so there is really no time to redo the app with jquery mobile..
Answers will be appreciated.
If you're talking about a hardware Android back button you have a WL API to override it's behaviour.
WL.App.overrideBackButton(function() { doSomething });
and WL.App.resetBackButton();
The back button functionality should work in Dojo Mobile. Looking at the documentation for ToolBarButton I think what you need to do is use a # in front of your next view for the moveTo attribute. In your example it would be moveTo:'#Contact' Take a look at the moveTo attribute in the doc below for more info.

I am currently working on a web application. I have a menu bar that moves when someone clicks on arrow. With every click a new menu option is activated.
Now, I would like to give the user the option to slide over the menu bar/screen to navigate on a touch interface.
Any idea how I would do that ?
Thanks
Well I don't think you'll be able to do it using just HTML, but if you're comfortable with jQuery take a look at this:
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/swipe
This plugin enables you to bind events to gestures, but I believe it only works on iPhone and iPad.
