I'm trying to create a sliding panel that slides to collapse / expand vertically and not horizontally.

I've tried Umano's Library but it's kind of buggy for me, because I'm using Fragments, and not Activities.

Any way to implement this with fragments?

Thanks.

that is called a SlidingDrawer (which is deprecated as of API level 17 BTW) so I would not recommend using it unless you fork it from the SDK as your own

SlidingDrawer Examples:

SlidingPaneLayout does this SlidingPaneLayout provides a horizontal, multi-pane layout for use at the top level of a UI. A left (or first) pane is treated as a content list or browser, subordinate to a primary detail view for displaying content.

you can view the sliding pane in the new hangouts app
