How To Create Fixed Navigation Bar For All Activities In An Android Application

Question

i want to set a navigation bar ( with two buttons and a textview ) common for all activities of my application. I know it can be done by including a common layout file into each activity's layout file. But i have to use slide transition animation when a activity changes to another. Now if i follow the common layout file including process, then the navigation bar will also slide in or out with the activity's view where i want my navigation bar to be fixed when activities view slides in or out. Besides, the two buttons of the navigation bar should be set as i can hide them by using code to some activities. So now i need help badly on the problem, please give me a solution/suggestion/clue on the problem.Thanks in advance .....

Answer 1

Perhaps Fragments may be what you are looking for in this scenario.

Or thinking about it further maybe ViewFlipper with multiple layouts could also help in this case.
