Answer 1

1. from which android version the navigation drawer, action bar, swipe views arr supported

Normally from HoneyComb navigation drawer and action bar are supported but u can use these from Eclair(android 2.1) with the help of android-support-v7-appcompat library and for that instead of Activity u have to use ActionBarActivity .

2. all the tutorials of sliding menu, navigation drawer etc shows only fragment displaying text view/image view i want to have different layout

Instead of ImageView or TextView u can load ur own layout

Demo project on Navigation Drawer for android 2.1 and upper

Answer 2

I personally use all of this in my app which requires API lvl 10 (Android 2.3.3). Implemented with Android Support Library.
