I want to use sliding drawer from left to right ?
So can you tell me anybody how it is possible? and also use this drawer to all activity in my project.
Use the concept of viewpager.You can find doc and example below...
doc
Example
Check that library. API 6+ (even less, not quite sure)
https://github.com/6wunderkinder/android-sliding-layer-lib
You can attach a layer to any part of the screen with the addition that you can swipe the layout directly in and out, unlike the SlidingDrawer in which you just can drag from a small piece of UI (drawer).
You could also use the new NavigationDrawer pattern from Google.

I have made my navigation drawer and it is working all fine , it is according to new design rules. but now I have a problem and after a couple of search I have found no note over it so far. So I end up with asking question here.
What I have done so far is some thing like
the picture shows you the demo , How ever I have made some thing like this its just the demo to give you people hint about what is header in the navigation drawer and where my menu items list lies
You can clearly see that there is a header in the navigation drawer and the menu item list beneath it .
Problem 1
now do to some reasons I have deleted the header , but my menu Items goes upwards to the top starting point. I know I can give margin up , but this is not the good way
Is there any good way I can just centralized them vertically ? I am wondering How to do it , Please Help me .
and Problem 2 is , I want to minimize the distance and margin between the menu items and menu icons in navigation drawer How to do this. I have not seen any of the discussion over it.
Please help me in solving both problems.
On screenshot you attached to your question, the navigation drawer doesn't look fine and according to the new desing rules :-/
Just have a look at the official guide: https://www.google.com/design/spec/patterns/navigation-drawer.html
Luckly for you nowdays we are provided by Google with Android Design Support Library that helps us with creating Navigation View (that replaces Navigation Drawer)
Here are links for you:
official documentation, always a good read: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/NavigationView.html
nicely written blog post about Navigation View: http://antonioleiva.com/navigation-view/
and last but not least, sample app using new Android Design Library: https://github.com/antoniolg/MaterializeYourApp
I know it's not the answer you were looking for, like "just change true to false in the line number 10" but stay assured that using official Navigation View is a way to go in modern Android world.
You can use the new NavigationView from the Android Design Support Library in making your navigation drawer. NavigationView make s creating material design-compliant navigation drawer.
You can read about it at http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html
Read these three articles
Take a look at this code
Use the design support library
I am using SimonVT's MenuDrawer library (https://github.com/SimonVT/android-menudrawer) and have followed his Fragments sample in his code. Everything is working great, however in the fragments sample the menu appears on the entire left side of the screen (top to bottom) which goes thru/over the ActionBar. I am looking to have the Menu Drawer appear below the ActionBar at all times so the ActionBar stays in place. I have tried both properties OVERLAY and BEHIND but both take over the entire left side of the screen.
This is NOT what I want - http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m91/saucergumshoe/MenuDrawerFragmentExampleMenuOverActionBar_zpsda4664f1.jpg
This is what I want, you can see the menu is below the ActionBar - http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m91/saucergumshoe/MenuDrawerLeftOverlayExampleMenuUnderActionBar_zps7a20baa9.jpg
I am fairly new to Android so maybe I am making a silly mistake?
Here are the main settings on the Drawer:
mMenuDrawer = MenuDrawer.attach(this, MenuDrawer.Type.OVERLAY, getDrawerPosition(), getDragMode());
mMenuDrawer.setTouchMode(MenuDrawer.TOUCH_MODE_FULLSCREEN);
mMenuDrawer.setSlideDrawable(R.drawable.ic_drawer);
mMenuDrawer.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
Set the drag mode to MENU_DRAG_CONTENT
mMenuDrawer = MenuDrawer.attach(this, MenuDrawer.Type.OVERLAY, getDrawerPosition(), MenuDrawer.MENU_DRAG_CONTENT);
What I can suggest you, is to use the official NavigationDrawer from Google as explained at https://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation-drawer.html.
There's also a link to a tutorial with sample code: https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html.
You can follow it to understand how to create a correct drawer and you can also download the source code as well.
This is the official component provided by Google and it behaves exactly as you asked in your question and like all the Google apps (and many others).
I need to incorporate a youtube like drawer navigation drawer for both(left,right) sides. AFAIK android apis don't provide means for the right-to-left drawer functionality. There're quite a lot of implementations out there(sliding menu) which do.
This sliding menu feature seems to present a performance issue. Should I try to rewrite original NavigationDrawer, which I expect to be the least performance-impact solution, or there is another performance-optimal library?
Thanks.
I would choose NavigationDrawer. I used both and I find NavigationDrawer smoother. If you try to mimic google UX then with NavigationDrawer should be enought for your needs.
I recently made a project/demo to implement NavigationDrawer with ActionBarSherlock for pre Honeycomb devices because I need for an app.

Another thing to take in mind is that if you use NavigationDrawer try to avoid Tabs because all the tabs items could fit perfectly as a listview in NavigationDrawer.
Actually NavigationDrawer supports drawers on both edges.
You have to supply the two drawer views inside your layout xml; one with gravity:left and one with gravity:right.
Then, in your Activity you call setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED) on your DrawerLayout object.
This will enable swiping either from left or right edge.
#Michał The question is actually implementation of both left as well as the right drawer.
#midnight NavigationDrawer right now only implements one-sided menu which you can place either on the left or the right. If you want to implement the other pane also you can make your content layout as SlidingPaneLayout.
This was also added to the latest support library along with the NavgationDrawer. For an implemented example you can look at the newest Hangouts app on how they are using it. This layout will probably suit your purposes better rather than rewriting the NavigationDrawer. In any case i'd hold off on re-writing it since it is the first release of the Layout and may undergo changes fairly quickly.
Since the last version of SupportLibrary there is a NavigationDrawer in Android.
I don't think these examples use viewpager, but visually they look a little like viewpager.
See Evernote's settings:
http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/howto/evernote-screenshots-120524.jpg
And Pocket Casts' handheld control pane:
http://www.shiftyjelly.com/android/pocketcasts
Basically, a panel is swiped in from left, but the left edge of the previous panel is still visible.
So my question is, is this UI pattern featured in an example you have seen, or did these two make it out of whole cloth and now I have to, too?
Edit for posterity:
As of Google I/O 2013, this is now built into Android. They call it the Navigation Drawer: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu
This library might help you out. I think this is what you're trying to achieve.
EDIT
I've updated the link to another SlidingMenu library but as of 2015/09/16, I wouldn't use the library referenced here anyway. Google has provided the DrawerLayout in the v4 support library to achieve this. Inside the drawer, for a more standard structured navigation, the design support library has also provided the NavigationView that can be placed inside the DrawerLayout and use standard menu resource to inflate the items contained within. This SO can help out with the details of the implementation.
I'm trying to get a sliding drawer to pull down from the top in my application, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Any help?
The built in sliding drawer is not that flexible, your best bet is to extend it and modify its behavior, or take a look at this http://code.google.com/p/android-misc-widgets/
I had to do the same for one of my projects and I ended up writing my own widget for this. I called it SlidingTray is now part of my open source Aniqroid library. It allows sliding from all four corners and feel free to modify the code as your like.

(Disclosure: I am the maintainer of the project.)
I have created a complete replacement for SlidingDrawer. It can slide from any direction and I find that it greatly outperforms the original. http://www.github.com/kedzie/DraggableDrawers
