Not, really. I have a very specific application where I have a couple
of lists to the right side of the screen. I have activation buttons
all the way to the right. I only want the buttons to the right to
be able to swap lists without first closing one list (requiring two
presses). A person might bring up one list and realize the wanted
the other so they could just tap the other button to get the right
list.
Nothing to the left of the lists will be programmed to do anything.
So, your fears cannot be realized.
But, my question was how to do it; not whether or not it was a good
idea. I still need an answer as to how to do it?
Thanks for your responsed however.
