move the screen content to the left outside the screen android

is there a way to move the whole screen content outside the screen bounds, with titlebar and all, on the left for example, i tried 

content = ((LinearLayout) act.findViewById(android.R.id.content)
                .getParent());

to get the screen content and add a margin to it

FrameLayout.LayoutParams pr = (android.widget.FrameLayout.LayoutParams) content
                    .getLayoutParams();
            pr.rightMargin = xOffset;
            content.setLayoutParams(pr);

but it doesnt work, the margin appears but the content is not moved just resized to fit the screen, anyone know how to do this the simple way?

you can set the margin in negative(-) values. for example if your want the layout to move upper use this:

android:marginTop = "-50dip or more u can put"

Are you trying to flip between views? As in, moving that layout off the screen to show another one? If so you should look at using a widget called ViewFlipper which will do exactly as you need. It can also be animated etc.
