    This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slickdevlabs.apps.usbtoserialterm
    When I hit the connect button the settings slide off to the side and disappear, the screen resizes. I can hit the settings button to get it to slide back out and in also.

    What is this called? I have similar settings I want to display at the start of the activity then I would like them to go away after I use them etc.

    Thanks that looks great. Will try it out.

    Would it be less convoluted if I just hit a button and the options disappeared, no sliding etc?
    All I want is for them to be there at the start and then feck off after I press them.

    Up to you really and the design of your app, I think you could do that easily if your using fragments.

    Guess I'll try fragments, at the moment the settings are jsut at the top of the screen formatted by a linearlayout, so that should be bettered.

    If anybody else wants to know, View.setVisibility(GONE) is a very easy way of doing this. I can try and make that slower or animate it now.
