I am trying out sliding menu and so far it works. Now what I want is to associate an activity to the Fragment which I don't know how to do. This is what I have: 1) A sliding menu with few options 2) Upon selecting one options - now it loads an activity (it is a list activity) which I have. The problem is that when it loads that activity, I no longer able to pull out the sliding menu (I have to click back to back main screen). I know maybe this is due to I am not loading my activity as a fragment but instead as List Activity.

So how do I convert my listactivity into fragment?

My Code (in MainActivity to select that options)

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MListActivity.class);

In the ListActivity.class, it is listing of all items:

public class MListActivity extends ListActivity {

Appreciate your help. Many thanks.

My MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
    private ListView mDrawerList;
    private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;

    // nav drawer title
    private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;

    // used to store app title
    private CharSequence mTitle;

    // slide menu items
    private String[] navMenuTitles;
    private TypedArray navMenuIcons;

    private ArrayList<NavDrawerItem> navDrawerItems;
    private NavDrawerListAdapter adapter;

     private String RSSFEEDURL = "https://sites.google.com/site/fappweb/Topmovies.xml";
     RSSFeed feed;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();

        // load slide menu items
        navMenuTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.nav_drawer_items);

        // nav drawer icons from resources
        navMenuIcons = getResources()
                .obtainTypedArray(R.array.nav_drawer_icons);

        mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_slidermenu);

        navDrawerItems = new ArrayList<NavDrawerItem>();

        // adding nav drawer items to array
        // Home
        navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[0], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(0, -1)));
        // Find People
        navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[1], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(1, -1)));
        // Photos
        navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[2], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(2, -1), true, "30"));
        // Communities, Will add a counter here
        navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[3], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(3, -1), true, "22"));
        // Pages
        navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[4], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(4, -1)));
        // What's hot, We  will add a counter here
        navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[5], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(5, -1), true, "50+"));


        // Recycle the typed array
        navMenuIcons.recycle();

        mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new SlideMenuClickListener());

        // setting the nav drawer list adapter
        adapter = new NavDrawerListAdapter(getApplicationContext(),

        mDrawerList.setAdapter(adapter);

        // enabling action bar app icon and behaving it as toggle button
        getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

        mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,

    }



}

What I did was to duplicate the main activity and rename as SlideActivity. Then in my MlistActivity I put it as extend SlideActivity as follows:

public class MListActivity extends SlideActivity {

But I got the following error when I try to start my MlistActivity:

05-25 18:20:20.404: E/FragmentManager(28565): No view found for id 0x7f0a0001 (com.fpbbnlsly.worldv:id/frame_container) for fragment HomeFragment{42a29d40 #0 id=0x7f0a0001}

The sliding menu is associated with the current activity. The new activity you are starting doesn't have a sliding menu associated with it.

What you need to do is have a MyListFragment and add that fragment to your current activity.

Fragment fragment = new MyListFragment();

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
               .replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment)
               .commit();

// Close the drawer
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);

Where R.id.content_frame is a in your current activity.

  • ? Thanks for your answer. May I know where I put this code? Is it in my ListActivity or in my MainActivity when I call the new intent to open my ListActivity? – user3599442 May 25 '14 at 10:06

You can go with the fragment option and keep swapping fragments in the same activity or you can attach an identical SlidingMenu to your new ListActivity

What I did was I created a class that implements activity and had it have a SlidingMenu then extended that class in all my activities or you can copy/paste the sliding menu code

public class MyActivity extends Activity {/*
 * (non-Javadoc)
 * 
 * @see android.app.Activity#onCreate(android.os.Bundle)
 */
@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // put sliding menu code here
    }
}

public class MainActivity extends MyActivity {
}

public class SecondActivity extends MyActivity {
}

NOTE: this is just pseudo code

  • Thanks for your comments. How do I create the Sliding Menu and extend that class for all my activities? i do not want to copy and paste all the codes as it is least efficient way of doing it. I just want the same sliding menu for all my activity. – user3599442 May 25 '14 at 10:13
  • Thanks. I have tried but it returns error. I updated in my questions with my code and how I extend to my listactivity but it has some error. Appreciate your help. Thanks. – user3599442 May 25 '14 at 10:27
