How to use Sliding Menu with ActionBar Sherlock?

Question

I am trying to use a sliding menu in my existing project where action bar Sherlock is used. But I am unable to do that. If you can give me a simple demo or tutorial to show me how to do so, that would be great? Do we have to use the fragments for the sliding menu?

Update:

How do I change the Activity when the user clicks on an item of the Sliding Menu list?

Is there a demo? please help.

Answer 1

Do as it says in https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu

1. Create your sliding layout.

2. In onCreate:

   setBehindContentView(R.layout.slide_menu);
   getSlidingMenu().setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width);
   getSlidingMenu().setShadowDrawable(R.drawable.shadow);
   getSlidingMenu().setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.actionbar_home_width);
   getSlidingMenu().setBehindScrollScale(0.25f);
   

3. And in the activity:

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

I did not find it very clear from the instructions on the (SlidingMenu GitGub)

Heres a screenshot to make it more clear:
