Hey Buddy, First of all i would like to thank a billion for this awesome piece of work. Now the issue I have is, in the following piece of code menu.setMenu(R.layout.menu); what ever parameter I pass (R.layout.menu Or even tried with my sample menu as R.menu.sample), it throws this error :( 06-18 18:33:35.183: E/AndroidRuntime(5070): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 06-18 18:33:35.183: E/AndroidRuntime(5070): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.sampleApp.android/com.sampleApp.android.DashboardActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class menu

Hey I was able to fix this by the following:

  1. do not extend the Activity rather, extend SlidingActivity
  2. replace menu.setmenu(R.layout.menu) to setBehindContentView(R.layout.menu);
  3. SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu() to SlidingMenu menu = getSlidingMenu();

Cheers !

Once again I admire you for awesome piece of work ! :)
