Thanks Gloria For your quick response . But I am not able to understand. I want to have two independent fragment which become a full screen activity once swiped . To explain it better I have created a new mockup : http://cl.ly/image/2A3e0I2a1L40

I basically have two different layouts in one activity . Is it possible to use ViewGroup and a ViewFlipper to achieve this ?

Yes you can use ViewGroup to do that. Maybe this tutorial is clearer - Android Fullscreen Image Slider with Swipe and Pinch Zoom Gestures. Focus more on the area where it shows how to swipe. If you look at the swiped images below there is one that looks like your mockup :)

Hey Gloria.. Thanks ! This looks close to what I am looking for .The only difference is that here an ImageView is a Fullscreen activity which is swipable to get the next image()fullscreen activity). In my case I need a layout view as a half-screen activity which becomes a fullscreen activity if swiped in its respective direction. But I think that this is modifiable since it extends a ViewGroup.

Thanks !
