Avoiding Sliding Panel collapsed on click with AndroidSlidingUpPanel

Question

I'm using the AndroidSlidingUpPanel library. I've a VideoView in the SlidingPanel layout and I would like to interact with it (with the start \ stop controller) when the panel is expanded. But if I click on the panel, it will get collapsed again, so the video player is gone. How to solve this ?

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#FFFFFF"

Answer 1

Solved, defining only the drag region to slide, in this way:

    layout = (SlidingUpPanelLayout)
            findViewById(R.id.sliding_layout); 

   layout.setDragView(findViewById(R.id.main_title_bar));
   layout.setEnableDragViewTouchEvents(true);
