Question

I have a ListView. When I select an item in the ListView, I would like to have a Subview slide in from the right, the way that it does in many Apps.

I have been searching for tutorials on this topic but am spinning my wheels. Maybe Android uses a term different than “Subview” ?

Here’s what I ended up doing:

1. Create a New Class for the SubView

2. Add the Subview class to the Manifest with <activity android:name=".SubViewClassName" /> inside the <application> tag

3. Add this to the main Class (“lv” is the ListView)

   lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
   public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent,
   View view,int position, long id) {

          Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(),SubView.class);
   
              startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);  
   
      } 
   

   });

The simplest thing is to have your second ListView be in a separate Activity. If the user has inter-activity animations enabled (and that is the default), then your second ListView will slide in from the right.
