Answer 1

You should have an onClickListener on the Layout by clicking on which your menu should go down.

Then make a Boolean variable(false if menu is not open and true when menu is showing) which will record the status of menu(whether menu is open or closed).

Then you just need to do following two things:

1. when clicked on FrameLayout check if the menu is open or not by checking Boolean variable value.

2. If Menu is showing then call animation method there too.

I guess this problem should be solved now.

Let me know if this is not working by commenting below.
