Hello @William Hunter,
Okay I've just uploaded the library to V1.34, I've not tested it but I'm presuming that MenuShow will now work.

Hello @William Hunter, please download the test file in the original post that is called TestSlidingMenu.zip, it has been updated. Please go to the \Objects\res\drawable folder and in that folder and copy the file named pnl_v_shadow.9.png into your \Objects\res\drawable folder, make sure that the file is read only.

Hello everybody,
Here we have my second library, I created this library for a project that I'm working on, I've previously used this menu(in a class) on other clients bespoke apps. I've learnt a lot from other forum members, so hopefully you will like my little sliding menu.

Just swipe your finger from off the screen and the menu slides in and out, the top left button also slides the menu in and out when tapped.

A big thank you to @Informatix and @margret for creating libraries that makes my life easier

SlidingMenuStd

• BarsOff
  TURN OFF BARS
• Initialize (Activity As Activity, Top As Int, SetMenuWidth As Int, SetMenuColor As Int, FontSize As Int, FontColor As Int)
  Current activity, Menu top position, Menu Width, Menu color, Text size, Text color
• InitializeActionBar (Activity As Activity, ActionBarColor As Int, LineColor As Int, Radius As Int, MenuButton As Boolean)
  Current activity, Action bar color, Thin line color, Action bar corner radius
• InitializeSwipe (Activity As Activity, Module As Object, SetSlideDuration As Int, SetFadeAlpha As Int, SetMenuLength As Boolean)
  Current activity, Current module name, Menu slide duration in milliseconds, FadeAlpha(0-255), Menu length(Full or just items)

The extra libraries that I used were:

1. AnimationPlus
2. ICS Contols

I've built some simple adjustable functionality into this library v1.2+, I hope it's enough for you all.

• Menu width
• Menu colour
• Menu text size
• Menu full length or item length
• Menu text colour
• Action bar colour
• Action bar under line colour
• Action bar corner radius
• Slide duration
• Fade alpha shade
• Action bar text
• Slide menu button visible(True or false)

Anyway, that's enough of me babbling on, just download the library and let me know what you think about it. The screen shots below were taken on a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7.

This has been tested on:

• Acer Iconia A500 running Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich
• Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
• ASUS Nexus 7(2012) running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
• LG Nexus 4 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat
  
• LG Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat
• ASUS Nexus 7(2013) running Android 4.4.2 KitKat

This works best in Android 4.0 and above. The attached APK install file has an TabHost with my Sliding Menu on top.

Please note: Starting from version 1.34 you will have the add a 9-Patch file called pnl_v_shadow.9.png into your '\Objects\res\drawable' folder, without this file the drawer will cause an error. The file can be found in TestSlidingMenu.zip in the above mentioned folder.

Cheers

- UPDATED V1.2, Removed the NFC Foreground Library.
- UPDATED V1.3, SDK checker and some other small updates.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this library, I'm trying to run the example and I have the following errors. Any idea, why? Thanks in advance

I'm getting the same errors as yourself, it doesn't matter what device is the target because it is a Compile error. I've tried changing the Target SDK and Min SDK levels in the manifest but I couldn't fix it with that either.

Did you manage to get a workaround for this?
