Floating Drawer Lite
Free AppAbout Floating Drawer Lite
Multi Tasking just got a little more easier!
Floating Drawer floats on top of your applications and lets you dock your home screen widgets in it so you can access the widgets without even having to leave the application you are in.
Access multiple widgets without covering up the entire screen.
Check your text messages while playing games.
Check contacts while watching a video.
Want to use the entire screen for your Application? Hide "Floating Drawer" with a single swipe. Re-open it when needed with just another swipe.
Do you have a favorite widget? Un-dock it from the drawer to let it float by itself on your applications. Drag and drop it back in to the drawer when done. (PRO VERSION ONLY)
Please leave comments and/or suggestions. I will make sure to work on it to provide a better user experience.
Notes:
Application Shortcuts and Un-docking widgets require PRO version.
Container only holds 5 widgets at a time for Lite. please remove one widget to add a different one when you reach the Limit or update to PRO version for container to hold unlimited number of widgets
Requires Android 4.0 or Higher.
Scrolling is enabled on the far left for the container with widgets
Long press on the bottom left corner of a widget to un-dock it from the drawer and float it on your Application

The drawer is very hard to pull out. If I pull quickly, my screens rotate. If I slow down, nearby apps move or the wall paper options dialog pops up. There's an icon in the notifications tray, but that's just for closing the app. Sometimes when I can engage the drawer with my finger, it might come out about 1/4 inch and stop. Someone else asked for other activation options, and I second that request. At least put something like that in the notification tray.

This app gets so many things right and could be great. But it suffers from one crucial flaw that prevents it from reaching its true potential. The Swipe shortcut is just way too commonly used by other apps Both chrome & dolphin for example use the swipe and automatically override yours, which makes this app impractical. How about making hotspots instead (ala SwipePad) or let users choose their own shortcut. That small change would make this a truly incredible app and I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Samsung galaxy s4. It just doesn't work. You can't swipe to get back to the drawer once you've dismissed it
