Question Permanent sidebar

[lame153]

Hi, I'm trying to turn my galaxy tab in a car infotainment screen like, my question is:

Can i have a permanent sidebar on my tablet like the one in the car screens with phone, media, maps icons?

Similar to the bar in android auto for example.

I tried a lot of sidebar apps but in every app the bar is hide and i have to swipe or tap to open it. I want instead a permanent sidebar where i can tap on an icon, having the sidebar always on screen...
