Support Action Bar

[sydneyagcaoili]

Hi I just want to suggest extending AppCompatActivity in SlideFragmentActivity instead of FragmentActivity.. I wanted it to support the AppCompat ActionBar.

[zeeshanaslam78]

You can do it yourself. You just need to add dependencies in SlidingMenu -> gradle compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1' and extend SlideFragmentActivity with AppCompatActivity then for action bar you can use widget Toolbar with NoActionbar style for your activity in AndroidManifest.xml. It works for me

@zeeshanaslam78 I used SlidingMenu by extends SlidingFragmentActivity,but there was no toolbar.What did you mean "extend SlideFragmentActivity with AppCompatActivity"?

I have this issue same, I'm wait answer.

If you aren't understanding @zeeshanaslam78's instructions, then you don't understand your build environment very well. If you are using gradle (Android Studio for example) to build your project, then you need to import appcompat-v7 via the provided compile line above in your SlidingMenu gradle file just as see explained. This makes SlidingMenu aware of the actionBar support in the appCompat library.

Now that you have that, you need to tell SlidingMenu to extend AppCompatActivity, in whichever class you are wanting to use. In my case, and I suspect yours, open SlidingFragmentActivity.java and extend SlidingFragmentActivity with ActionBarActivity like this:

//public class SlidingFragmentActivity extends FragmentActivity implements SlidingActivityBase {
public class SlidingFragmentActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements SlidingActivityBase {

You may want to fix-up the SlidingActivity class as well.

How to edit file is locked? I install via

dependencies { compile 'com.jeremyfeinstein.slidingmenu:library:1.3@aar' ... }

[theBlbDan]

You will need to download SlidingMenu and import it as a project in order to edit the files. Then add to your project's gradle -> dependencies

dependencies {
    compile project(':slidingMenu')
}

Add to settings.gradle

include ':slidingMenu'

In the slidingMenu's gradle file, you want to add compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1' to dependencies { }

Here is a write-up on how to do it that might be easier. http://stackoverflow.com/a/20673857/3966095

AppCompat v21 builds themes that require the new APIs provided in API 21 (Android 5.0).
To compile your application with AppCompat, you must also compile against API 21.
The recommended setup for compiling/building with API 21 is a compileSdkVersion
of 21 and a buildToolsVersion of 21.0.1 (which is the highest at this time -
you always want to use the latest build tools)

Use the proper versions for what you're doing. For example, I have

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 23
    }
...

Don't simply copy/paste what others are doing. Use them as guides to correct your project.
