Hello,

I'm working on a chatting application for visually impaired people and so I want to make it easy for them to look up the application and open it.

I'm thinking about sliding my phone's screen from bottom to top to open the application. Can any one provide me a code to do this ?

Applications are opened by tapping on them in the window showing their icon. You would need to modify the basic Android OS to change this.

To my knowledge you can't open your app when you slide open your device, but you can use the sliding feature in your app if you want.

The name of the View (Android speak for a UI widget) is a SlidingDrawer.

You use the View by adding code to the DrawerOpen and DrawerClose events.

XML

private SlidingDrawer _slidingDrawer;
 _slidingDrawer = Activity.FindViewById<SlidingDrawer>(Resource.Id.SlidingDrawer);


_slidingDrawer.DrawerOpen += (o, e) => { //add your code here}
_slidingDrawer.DrawerClose += (o, e) => { //add your code here}
