Description

Hello! We're enjoying a lot using the library. We're currently using it in a few parts of the app and we want to use it one more time. Just let me know if it's even possible to do what we want to do:

screen shot 2015-09-17 at 4 53 11 pm

In the image at the left we have already a view in the bottom, we want that when user tap in the FAB expand with a bottom sheet to get the information in the image at the right.

We've tried several things:

  • We made to fade out the existing view and show the bottom sheet. This is actually working, but it is not what we want to do.
  • We included the current bottom view in the bottom sheet layout and show it from the beginning (working) and then when click expand more (not working). But the map gets darker so we don't want that either
  • We tried to push up the existing view with the bottom sheet. No success so far. This would be an option.
  • We tried to expand the current bottom view with the bottom sheet.

How would you suggest to do this?

Thanks a million (for the library and reading this ;) )

Research direction
The issue proposes adding support for different views in peek and expanded states of the bottom sheet. The current library likely uses a single view for both states. Research could start by examining the library's source code (e.g., BottomSheetLayout.java) to understand how the view is managed. Look for existing issues or PRs discussing similar functionality. Consider implementing a new API or modifying the existing one to allow setting different layouts for peek and expanded states.
