I'm working on an application that does have some similarities with Google's androidify, however what I'm mostly interested in is the 2d tool palette that appears on the sides of the screen in that app (shown in the photos below).
The picture below shows the normal layout without any palette.
Once the hanger icon is clicked, a 2d tool palette appears. This also causes the view containing the avatar to be resized.
I have looked around the Internet for a while now, but since the concept is fairly new and has only been used in a handful of apps (all by Google I think), there is not much on it. So is there anyone who has implemented this or has an idea how it could be done or even where to get started on it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
