Drawer indicator icon

[yccheok]

Although Google just release http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation-drawer.html#side-nav, I still prefer SlidingMenu as it offers much more customization options. I was wondering, is there any plan to implement "Drawer indicator icon" into SlidingMenu?

+1 I completely agree with Yan. I much prefer SlidingMenu over googles
implementation but the indicator is nice.

Right now I'm a little busier than I'd like to be, but I'll definitely be looking at Google's implementation ASAP to pull out what I can (including the indicator hopefully)

Thanks and looking forward! 👍

another good drawer indicator would be like the kik messenger app. the user will be able to tell that a sliding menu feature is available because of the left most vertical image can indicate it is draggable.

Looking forward to this update.
I think it would be best to stick with google's version of the indicator, that's gonna be a 'standard'.

Hi - is there any news on this - any sort of timeline or the likes?

[Maradox]

I have a working implementation of this, it's also ActionBarSherlock compatible. It needs some testing and some clean up though. If I have some spare time I will upload it. I'm fairly new to github so I could use some hint how to send an update request to this repo. (I dont want to fork the entire repo)

@gergely-sallai On github you have to fork the complete project / repository into your own github account. So the repository gergely-sallai/SlidingMenu will be created. Than you will commit and push your changes to gergely-sallai/SlidingMenu. if you are done with your work and want to "update" your changes to the original repository jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu then you need to create a pull request (there will be a button in gergely-sallai/SlidingMenu on github to do that). Than the original author (jfeinstein10) can accept your pull request and your changes (your commits) are merged automatically into the original repository jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu. Than you can delete your forked repository in you github account, if you want to.

Any new updates on this?

Been researching how to add a Drawer Icon on the top left. Even if it's just an arrow click even that pulls out Sliding menu, that would work too.

I have made a pull request: #516

It will bring a slideable icon that will replace the default up indicator of the ActionBar, like ActionBarDrawerToggle (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/ActionBarDrawerToggle.html)

Hi, any update on this issues? As Google's NavigationDrawer don't have proper implementation on

setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);

hack don't really work especially when its content is ViewPager. When swiping toward left, with NavigationDrawer, ViewPager won't change from view 0 to view 1. All the events are consumed by NavigationDrawer.

But, jfeinstein10 SlidingMenu handles such case gracefully.
