implementation of jeremy feinstein's SlidingMenu

Question

I'm trying to develop an application using Jeremy Feinstein's SlidingMenu library. All I have done in the right way as described in the Github instructions. Everything is working well, but the problem is that when I click on action bar home button to open the slider it covers the complete screen. I want it to open in half open like in Facebook slider in Facebook app. My code is below:

public class MainActivity extends SlidingFragmentActivity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    //Hide title bar
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);

    //Enable home button
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

    //Home as up display
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

   // getSupportActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);


    setBehindContentView(R.layout.menu_frame);

    //SlidingMenu menu=getSlidingMenu();
    SlidingMenu menu=new SlidingMenu(this);
    //menu = new SlidingMenu(MainActivity.this);
    menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
    menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_MARGIN);
    setSlidingActionBarEnabled(true);
    menu.setShadowWidth(5);
    menu.setFadeDegree(0.0f);
    menu.attachToActivity(MainActivity.this, SlidingMenu.SLIDING_CONTENT);
    menu.setBehindWidth(10);
    menu.setBehindOffset(10);
    menu.setBehindScrollScale(0.25f);
    menu.setMenu(R.layout.menu_frame);


}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
        toggle();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}


}

Answer 1

You could use behindOffset, behindWidth or touchModeAbove. If you use it as a view you could do this (in your layout file):

sliding:behindOffset="@dimen/YOUR_OFFSET"
sliding:behindWidth="@dimen/YOUR_WIDTH"
sliding:touchModeAbove="margin"

Further explained

touchModeAbove - an enum that designates what part of the screen is touchable when the above view is showing. Margin means only the left margin. Fullscreen means the entire screen. Default is margin.

behindOffset - a dimension representing the number of pixels that you want the above view to show when the behind view is showing. Default is 0.

behindWidth - a dimension representing the width of the behind view. Default is the width of the screen (equivalent to behindOffset = 0).

Answer 2

IN YOUR CODE:

// SlidingMenu menu=getSlidingMenu();
SlidingMenu menu=new SlidingMenu(this);

JUST REMOVE // ON FIRST LINE BECAUSE YOU NEED AN INSTANTIATED OBJETC AT THIS TIME.

REMOVE SECOND LINE, THATS ALL. ON SECOND LINE YOU ARE INSTANTIATING A NEW OBJECT AND IT IS NOT NECESARY....SLIDING MENU OBJECT GETS INSTANTIATED ONCE YOU SET BEHIND CONTENT VIEW.

I GOT SAME TROUBLE AND SOLVE THIS OUT THAT WAY.
