I wanted the home screen of the app to be a Full screen scringo, without needing to swipe. I followed this guide to integrate Scringo into my app, and it worked perfectly. If you don't plan on having swipe, you probably want to remove the line of code that adds the sidebar. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=3D1785DE0847EBF6B271E14&fid=F006D74B653CA9FFE3CB28E&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=2 Next, for my home screen, I use Susan's Menu Image Button screen and set icons per row to 1. This gives me a nice button thats placed in the center of the screen and resized. I had this button point to itself, so when clicked it basically loads the same screen that it's on (looped). I'll explain this further down. Next, I opened that screens .java file, in this case WB_menuImageButtons.java, and right after the onCreateView on line 123, I added this code: Scringo.openMenu(this.getActivity()); - (Thanks SmugWimp for helping me figure this out!) And that's it! So basically what happens, is the app starts up, and the first thing it does is load the full screen Scringo menu. If you press the back button on the phone however, this menu closes and the Menu Image Button screen is displayed. The button displayed is basically a "Start" button, that reloads the screen, thus reopening the Scringo menu :) I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but for a novice like me this suited my purpose just fine. The guide I linked to above is perfect for integrating the radar feature as well, but one thing it forgot to mention.. for it to work, make sure you enable GPS in the core settings of your app! Should probably also add a screen to turn this off as well.. (oops!) Back to work!
