How to achieve this navigation menu in android

Question

I need to achieve a navigation menu such as this:

I don't want to use Navigation drawer since I am already using it for other purposes.

Let me explain a little bit the situation:

I have a navigation drawer that shows a listview with some options. When user clicks on an option, navigation drawer disappear and in may content view should show some buttons with the look & feel as the image above.

When a button is pressed, a new view (corresponding to button selection) should slide in from the right.

How can I achieve this? I have not found a good resource for this.

Thanks Jaime

Answer 1

I have done it finally by using a ListView.

This is the code,and I can assure it is not confusing, and in fact, this is done in every android app:

public void DrawAreas() {
    final ListView areaView = (ListView) _activity.findViewById(R.id.area_list);

    ArrayAdapter<TdcArea> areas = new ArrayAdapter<TdcArea>(_activity.getApplicationContext(),
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
            _system.getAreas()) {
        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
            TextView text = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            text.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
            Drawable icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(_activity.getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.chevron_red);
            text.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, icon, null);
            return view;
        }
    };
    areaView.setAdapter(areas);
    areaView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            TdcArea area = (TdcArea) areaView.getItemAtPosition(position);
            Intent intent = new Intent(_activity.getApplicationContext(), FormActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("AREA", area);
            _activity.startActivity(intent);
        }
    });
