Hello

I want to have a very small button in a corner of the screen, that
launches selection of shortcuts when it is clicked. The very small
button should be always on top for easy access.

In it's tucked away state, it is comparable in function and form with
the iPhone Dock 3rd party App (
http://www.pqdvd.com/blog/iphone/iphone-news/dock-iphone-mod-to-enable-quick-app-switching/
). As you can see this one is almost invisible unless summoned by the
user.


I have been looking around the API and reading around the discussions,
and from what i gather there is no way to display always on top
content other then on the notify bar, and that bar can not be
interacted with in other ways then that tray that extends when you
drag down. Judging by the replies of the Android devs, the reason
behind this seems to be a form of protection of the user against to
"intrusive" apps.


I have to questions:

1. Is there any way i can have my always on top small button in the
corner?

2. If the above is not possible, is it because of a design philosophy
that protects against things such as always-on-top intrusion, or is it
just a current API limitation?


regards,
Radu
