I'm trying to get a sliding drawer to pull down from the top in my application, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Any help?

The built in sliding drawer is not that flexible, your best bet is to extend it and modify its behavior, or take a look at this http://code.google.com/p/android-misc-widgets/

  • Ironically, I've already tried using that one, but it uses an old SDK function with R.styleable which is deprecated now, so I don't know how to get it working. Are there any examples with this actually working that are with a newer SDK version? – Kleptine Feb 12 '10 at 01:29
  • Alright, I got it working. I had to use built in methods for grabbing the attributes. – Kleptine Feb 12 '10 at 02:34
  • I used this sample with making no changes in 2.1, 2.2, and now 2.3 sdks – Nathan Schwermann Dec 11 '10 at 05:31

I have created a complete replacement for SlidingDrawer. It can slide from any direction and I find that it greatly outperforms the original. http://www.github.com/kedzie/DraggableDrawers

I had to do the same for one of my projects and I ended up writing my own widget for this. I called it SlidingTray is now part of my open source Aniqroid library. It allows sliding from all four corners and feel free to modify the code as your like.
