Sliding one layout on another in android

Question

I need to slide one layout on another in android.

Requirments.

1 . layout1 covers 80% of the screen and the rest is occupied by layout 2.

2 . I need to be able to slide layout 2 on top of layout 1, total width or scrollable limit for layout 2 should be such that 20% of layout 1 should be visible below.

3 . Then i need to slide layout 2 back to its original position.

I have tried may sliding tutorials including

None of these was able to provide what i need, i tried many customizations and spent almost a week,

could someone help.

Got It!!.. Simplicity at its best. No libraries, No complicated codes. Use SimplePaneLayout.

Just set the android:layout_marginLeft to a suitable value. :) Awesome :)

<android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/slidingpanelayout">

        <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
                  android:layout_height="match_parent"
                  android:background="#CCC"
                  android:orientation="horizontal"
                  android:id="@+id/fragment_firstpane"/>

        <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
                  android:layout_height="match_parent"
                  android:background="#000"
                  android:orientation="horizontal"
                  android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
                  android:id="@+id/fragment_secondpane"/>

    </android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout>
