I don't understand why the view menu_frame is not found because I have a view with the id menu_frame and this view is a child of the layout menu_frame.

apparently menu_frame is a framelayout, not a fragment. That's probably why it is bot found as a fragment. — njzk2, Nov 04 '13 at 15:01
@njzk2 - FrameLayouts are used as containers for Fragments that are added at runtime (which is how they are adding the fragment). Normally this error means that you try to call replace/remove on a fragment using a layout ID that does not exist in the layout that is inflated. They are not calling setContentView so this view ID does not exist. I'm not sure how setBehindContentView works in the library that's being used but according to a quick google search setContentView also needs to be called (since setBehindContentView doesn't replace it). — dymmeh, Nov 04 '13 at 15:14
Even if I put `setContentView(R.layout.menu_frame);` before `setBehindContentView(R.layout.menu_frame);` the problem is still there — guillaume, Nov 04 '13 at 15:30

setBehindContentView() is used to set the layout of the SlidingMenu.

    /**
     * Set the behind view content to an explicit view.
     * This view is placed directly into the behind view 's view hierarchy.
     * It can itself be a complex view hierarchy.
     *
     * @param view The desired content to display.
     * @param layoutParams Layout parameters for the view. (unused)
     */
    public void setBehindContentView(View view, LayoutParams layoutParams) {
            mViewBehind = view;
            mSlidingMenu.setMenu(mViewBehind);
    }

However, since in the BaseActivity you called slidingMenu.setMenu(R.layout.slidingmenu);, the menu layout will be overwritten to R.layout.slidingmenu. Hence, R.layout.menu_frame is not inflated and the ID cannot be found.

Try to remove either setBehindContentView() or setMenu().

Thanks, I remove this line `slidingMenu.setMenu(R.layout.slidingmenu);` and now it's work ;) — guillaume, Nov 04 '13 at 15:53
