Android: Up/down animated sliding menu

Question

I have tried several solutions but need help. The topics below are really useful but I think I'm doing something wrong. How to set layout height/settings for both? Let's say I have 2 LinearLayout for content and bottom menu.

Also I don't want the bottom menu disappeared after sliding. It should be constant there. I am using fragments for menu clicks/change views.

Android: Expand/collapse animation

Android animate drop down/up view proper
