Android: can height of SlidingDrawer be set with wrap_content?

Is there a way to change the size of a sliding drawer when it opens ? And is there a way to place it in the top, or in the left, because the default option are bottom for the vertical orientation and right to the horizontal orientation.

Answer 1

This answer about overriding SlidingDrawer#onMeasure to enable wrap_content for SlidingDrawer seems like a winner.

The onMeasure() method of the
SlidingDrawer class basically
overrides the layout modes to
fill_parent, this is why
layout_height="wrap_content" is not
working.

Edit – Or, you can set the height exactly in with something like layout_height="200dp".

Your other question was already answered in the negative.
