Question

I have a typical SlidingDrawer in my app, but i don’t know how to make a Layout(Relative or Linear) as a handle of my Slidingdrawer! ImageViews and Buttons work fine, but not a Layout!! Can you help me?

Answer 1

In the sliding drawer xml you just set the handle id as the id of the new RelativeLayout/LinearLayout you want. Just like you would a ImageView/Button etc.

<SlidingDrawer
    android:id="@+id/slidingDrawer"
    android:handle="@+id/drawerHandle"
    android:content="@+id/contentLayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/drawerHandle"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="75dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/bg">
        <ImageView
            android:src="@drawable/icon"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center">
        </ImageView>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/contentLayout"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/bg">
        <ImageView
            android:src="@drawable/icon"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center">
        </ImageView>
    </LinearLayout>
</SlidingDrawer>
