Open slider after changing layout loads.

[kibagami-jubei]

Hi, I'm trying to have the sliding layer display (shown) over the main layout right after I set the content view. Here's my code.

    setContentView(R.layout.randomLayout);      

    slidingLayer = (SlidingLayer) findViewById(R.id.slidingLayer1);
    slidingLayer.setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width);
    slidingLayer.setShadowDrawable(R.drawable.sidebar_shadow);
    slidingLayer.setStickTo(SlidingLayer.STICK_TO_MIDDLE);
    slidingLayer.setCloseOnTapEnabled(false);
    slidingLayer.openLayer(true);

Okay, here's what most of my layout looks like. Now for some reason, the relative layout ain't showing at all when I post this so just imagine that this content is inside a relative layout.

<com.slidinglayer.SlidingLayer
    xmlns:slidingLayer="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.slidinglayersample"
    android:id="@+id/slidingLayer1"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/layer_width"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<include layout="@layout/user_preferences" />

The code "works" as no errors are thrown. However, the layer isn't showing up either. Is there a way to open the sliding layer after changing layouts?

did you try calling bringToFront() on your slidinglayer? maybe its hidden behind some view..
