An Android library that extends FragmentActivity to create a menu that slides out from the left hand side of the activity.

While it's called SlidingMenu, it can really hold any 2 layouts or fragments. It's pretty easy to implement and has relatively few options at the moment, check the SlidingMenuTest project to see an implementation.

First, you make your Activity extend SlidingMenuActivity like so:

public class SomeActivity extends SlidingMenuActivity {

Then, the only absolutely required function is to call

setLayoutIds(int menuLayoutId, int contentLayoutId)

in your activity's OnCreate before the call to

super.OnCreate()

then do everything else like normal.

You can wire up the toggle to any click/touch/etc event by calling

toggleMenu();

SlidingMenuActivity()

Is the default constructor, this initializes the activity with a sliding title bar (actionbar) If you want to pick if the title bar (actionbar) slides or not call:

SlidingMenuActivity(bool slideTitleBar)

If you want the titlebar (actionbar) to disapper, call requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in your onCreate().

setAnimationDuration(long duration)  

Sets how long in milliseconds the opening/closing animation will run.

setMaxMenuWidth(int width)  

Sets the max width (in dips) of the menu. The main content will stop sliding at this many dips from the left side of the screen (unless it would make the content slide farther than the minContentWidth below.

setMinContentWidth(int width)  

Sets the minimum amount the content window can leave on the screen. The main content will stop sliding at this many dips from the right side of the screen.

setAnimationType(int type)  

Sets the type of animation used. Currently there are 3 types:
MENU_TYPE_SLIDING
which slides the menu out from the left, pushing the main content over and
MENU_TYPE_SLIDEOVER
which is the default, where the content slides away exposing the menu underneath. And finally, the experimental MENU_TYPE_PARALLAX which sounds all fancy, but just means that the menu and content slide at different speeds.

setInterpolator(Interpolator i)  

Sets the interpolator used by the animation. The default is a DecelerateInterpolator which makes the animation start fast and end slow.
