Android Listview Floating First Row

Question

I'm trying to find the best way to approach implementing Facebook like floating row on list view

when scrolling down, the status-photo-checkin disappear to allow more space for the list, and when scrolling up it appears again. anyone has an idea how can I implement this or direct me to an existing component/library?

Answer 1

It's called the Quick Return pattern, and Roman's explained it in detail along with an example here:

Answer 2

You can find implementations at these two pages:

• https://github.com/LarsWerkman/QuickReturnListView
• https://github.com/ManuelPeinado/QuickReturnHeader

And I suggest you to read the following blog post which discusses when to use and not to use this ui pattern: http://www.androiduipatterns.com/2012/08/an-emerging-ui-pattern-quick-return.html
