I found https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu very interesting and I want to use it on my existing project with actionbarsherlock 4.2. I have imported the library of the slidingmenu as an existing project of android. Then i went to the properties of my project and added the slidingmenu project as a library but I'm getting an error on SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu(this);. There is also a red "!" on my project's folder.

enter image description here

I'm new on the sliding menu and i want a help. thank you very much.

UPDATE: I have fixed the most errors but I'm having this one which I don't know how to solve it enter image description here

  • But which Google API did you choose in the end?! and which one was selected before?! – Alex Cio Mar 09 '13 at 22:57
  • If it's still interesting for you, I experienced the same issue, I changed the Build Target of the Sliding Menu from Android 4.2.2. to Google Api Level 17, now the errors are gone. – Tobi N May 07 '13 at 08:44

You need to extend a SlidingMenu class. To also use the ActionBar Sherlock library you must follow the steps listed in the Readme, in particular this one:

  • Go into the SlidingActivities that you plan on using make them extend Sherlock__Activity instead of __Activity.

So your project should extend SlidingActivity:

public class Waiter extends SlidingActivity {

And you need to change your copy of the SlidingMenu library to use ABS. Open com/slidingmenu/lib/app/SlidingActivity.java and change:

public class SlidingActivity extends Activity implements SlidingActivityBase {

to:

public class SlidingActivity extends SherlockActivity implements SlidingActivityBase {
//             Add "Sherlock" here:  ^^^^^^^^

(Repeat this step for any other SlidingMenu Activities you wish to use.)

    so i have to extend my waiter app with sliding and then the sliding to extend the sherlock? – George Panayi Dec 31 '12 at 22:23
  • I solve the problem but now I'm having another one. Please see the last image on my first post. – George Panayi Dec 31 '12 at 22:35
  • That means you still have a problem somewhere in your project, the `Problems` window will lead you right to it. Save you file to refresh the problems window, if you still need help cut & paste the information into your question. – Sam Dec 31 '12 at 22:47
