How can I create circular menu in android?

How can I create a sliding layout, like the main android menu?

• I need to create an application with 4 view. I need to pass from a view to an other simply by a touch and a move to the left or to the right (no button). The effect I would like is the same that you see when you navigate in the main menu of android when you pass from a page to another. I have tested the ViewFlipper, but I cannot use it: it seems not to catch the touch event correctly. I don't even know if it is the right component. What is the right way to handle this?

  Finally I made it. This is my solution. First of all you need to define a main layout, that contains the child layout. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ViewFlipper android:id="@+id/ViewFlipper01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <include android:id="@+id/libraryView1" layout="@layout/page_1" /> <include android:id="@+id/libraryView2" layout="@layout/page_2" /> </ViewFlipper> </RelativeLayout> where page_1 and page_2 are the layout that I need to exchange. Those layout are absolutely standard layout, made as you prefear. Then you need an activity: public class Main extends Activity { private ViewFlipper vf; private float oldTouchValue; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); vf=(ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.ViewFlipper01); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent touchevent) { switch (touchevent.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: { oldTouchValue = touchevent.getX(); break; } case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: { //if(this.searchOk==false) return false; float currentX = touchevent.getX(); if (oldTouchValue < currentX) { vf.setInAnimation(inFromLeftAnimation()); vf.setOutAnimation(outToRightAnimation()); vf.showNext(); } if (oldTouchValue > currentX) { vf.setInAnimation(inFromRightAnimation()); vf.setOutAnimation(outToLeftAnimation()); vf.showPrevious(); } break; } } return false; } //for the previous movement public static Animation inFromRightAnimation() { Animation inFromRight = new TranslateAnimation( Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, +1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f ); inFromRight.setDuration(350); inFromRight.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator()); return inFromRight; } public static Animation outToLeftAnimation() { Animation outtoLeft = new TranslateAnimation( Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, -1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f ); outtoLeft.setDuration(350); outtoLeft.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator()); return outtoLeft; } // for the next movement public static Animation inFromLeftAnimation() { Animation inFromLeft = new TranslateAnimation( Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, -1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f ); inFromLeft.setDuration(350); inFromLeft.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator()); return inFromLeft; } public static Animation outToRightAnimation() { Animation outtoRight = new TranslateAnimation( Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, +1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0.0f ); outtoRight.setDuration(350); outtoRight.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator()); return outtoRight; } } Tada! Done!
