A sample Android project to explore creating slide-in menus like in the Spotify and Facebook applications. You can use it all you want in your Android apps provided that you cite this project and include the license in your app. Also, remember to include the ActionBarSherlock license if you choose to use the provided ActionBar.

Here's a very early (~3 weeks ago) demo video of it in action : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfR9kR55E8I

A better video showing the new ActionBarSherlock integration will come soon!

Also, you can follow the project on Twitter : @SlidingMenu

In order to integrate SlidingMenu into your own projects you can do one of two things.

1. You can embed the SlidingMenu at the Activity level by making your Activity extend SlidingMenuActivity.

• If you choose to do it this way, you have access to a built-in ActionBar via Jake Wharton's ActionBarSherlock. The ActionBar will slide with the "above" portion of the SlidingMenu.
• In your Activity's onCreate method, you will have to call setContentView, as usual, and also setBehindContentView, which has the same syntax as setContentView. setBehindContentView will place the view in the "behind" portion of the SlidingMenu. You also have access to methods such as toggle(), showAbove() showBehind() at the Activity level.
• More variants of SlidingMenuActivity will be coming soon, such as SlidingFragmentActivity, etc.

2. You can use the SlidingMenu view directly in your xml layouts or programmatically in you Java code.

• This way, you can treat SlidingMenu as you would any other view type and put it in crazy awesome places like in the rows of a ListView.
• So. Many. Possibilities.

To come soon!
