I think you should try to implement a simple Navigation Drawer (left to right), then you change the orientation of swipe. Here is a simple navigation drawer code:
Modify your layout to be a drawer layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<!-- 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/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"/>
Implement a ListView, it will be the items of your navigation drawer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/textView"/>
Then you should implement the java code of your activity connecting the ListView with your NavigationDrawer listeners and Activity code.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private String[] mPlanetTitles;
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private CharSequence mTitle;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = "test";
mPlanetTitles = new String[]{"one", "two", "three"};
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
// Set the adapter for the list view
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPlanetTitles));
// Set the list's click listener
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
}
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Pass the event to ActionBarDrawerToggle, if it returns
// true, then it has handled the app icon touch event
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle your other action bar items...
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* Swaps fragments in the main content view
*/
private void selectItem(int position) {
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.app_name, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Highlight the selected item, update the title, and close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
setTitle(mPlanetTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
@Override
public void setTitle(CharSequence title) {
mTitle = title;
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
}
}
