@user3332166, Any other button means any custom button or imageview you specify, is this what you are asking? — InnocentKiller, Mar 31 '14 at 13:15

The "Navigation Drawer" can be opened programmatically with mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerContentLayout). Here's some info how to set it up:

private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private RelativeLayout mDrawerContentLayout;

Get the reference to drawerView in your Activity onCreate():

mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerContentLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_content);

Call this on your button click when you want drawer opened:

mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerContentLayout);

I used a RelativeLayout as content view of my drawer, but you can use any which suits you. Just remember, the mDrawerLayout layout should be inside mDrawerLayout (which is actually a android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout) and should have the android:layout_gravity="start" attribute.

Here's the (abbreviated) activity layout that I used:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" >

  <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <android.support.v4.view.PagerTitleStrip
      android:id="@+id/pager_title_strip"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_gravity="top"
      android:background="#33b5e5"
      android:paddingBottom="4dp"
      android:paddingTop="4dp"
      android:textColor="#fff" />
  </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>


  <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/drawer_content"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/nav_drawer_width"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start" >

    <ListView
      ... />

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

You can find more details in the API documentation, the developer docs and the design patterns.

Okay, if you want to open slider on it's button's click then use below code.

sliding_menu = (Button) findViewById(R.id.slidingMenu);
        sliding_menu.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                menu.showMenu();
            }
        });
