        // set the content view
        setContentView(R.layout.content);
        // configure the SlidingMenu
        SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu(this);
        menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
        menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);
        menu.setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width);
        menu.setShadowDrawable(R.drawable.shadow);
        menu.setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.slidingmenu_offset);
        menu.setFadeDegree(0.35f);

do you have android:name="com.jeremyfeinstein.slidingmenu.example.SampleListFragment" ? I guess no — Blackbelt, Jul 20 '13 at 10:12

Inside your AndroidManifest.xml you have declared com.app.example.MainActivity but your Activity is named com.app.example.SlidingExample

Change

<activity
        android:name="com.app.example.MainActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|screenLayout"
       >

with

<activity
        android:name="com.app.example.SlidingExample"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|screenLayout"
       >

the layout containing the listview that you want dispay in the sliding menu should be set using setBehindContentView(R.layout.yourlistlayout);you could do that after setcontentview() in your code.

you can add header to your listview like this

 TextView header = new TextView(this);
header.setText("Effects");
header.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
header.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);
header.setTextSize(20);
header.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#054472"));
lv.addHeaderView(header);

As an alternative you can use the new NavigationDrawer made available by google in the recent API.but again it is not available for older versions of android,which means you will have to use a library(like ActioBarSherlock) for backward compatibility. So its up to you. here is the link for navigation drawer. http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html

I havent tried that... but if it is that important you can use Sliding Menu by jfeinstein10.it has been used by many good apps.you can have a sliding menu on both sides at the same time using this library... — shreyas, Jul 25 '13 at 11:12
