Question

I’m trying to create a layout that has a stationary footer with activities that slide behind it. I’ve been told to use Fragments, but that would mean that I would have to convert my already existing Activities to Fragments – right? Here is a diagram of what I’m trying to achieve: https://i.stack.imgur.com/16BeS.jpg

What I think @TarunMaheshwari is trying to say is that instead of having 3 activities (eg. classes with extends activity), replace it with extends fragment (obviously there are other minor changes you might have to make for the code to work) and then create a main activity (with extends FragmentActivity) that has the static footer you want which can call on the 3 different fragments.
