Android Layout fragments

Question

I don't know how to create a footer whereby when the footer is pulled up, options for a music player come up. I am using a swipe tabs layout.

Consider using - ViewDragHelper: Doc located here.

Here's similar question someone else asked earlier.

Sliding drawer is left to right. I suspect you were looking for bottom to top like the music player - have a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21784916/swipe-drag-android-view-from-the-bottom-of-the-screen – Zain Jun 02 '15 at 16:38

The UI element that you're looking for is the DrawerLayout. All you have to do is make it the top level element of your UI hierarchy, add your views to it, and then select one view to show up when the user slides the finger from the edge of the window.

There's an article in the developer's site about how to create this (here) and this is one of their examples:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent">
  <!-- The main content view -->
  <FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/content_frame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
  <!-- The navigation drawer -->
  <ListView android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
    android:layout_width="240dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
    android:dividerHeight="0dp"
    android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Alternatively you could use a SlidingDrawer to achieve the same result, but note that the class has been deprecated in recent versions of Android.
