Getting DrawerLayout to Slide over the ActionBar
android, android-actionbar, android-tabs, slidingdrawer
Solution
Any ideas on how this could be done?
Do any of the following:
Switch away from action bar tabs, perhaps to `ViewPager` and a tabbed indicator (`PagerTabStrip`, `TabPageIndicator` from ViewPageIndicator)
See if an existing third-party drawer implementation has not yet updated to the new UI standards
Fork `DrawerLayout` and modify it to suit
Roll your own navigation drawer from scratch
I understand that I might be breaking some conventions and UI patterns here
Correct.
Problem
I have a sliding drawer menu in an activity, which has an actionbar with some tabs on it. I'd like to get the sliding drawer to slide over the tabs , not below them. This is what it looks like right now... Any ideas on how this could be done? Note: I understand that I might be breaking some conventions and UI patterns here, and if it does not work at all, I'll look at alternatives. But I'd like to get this working first. EDIT: See the below screen shot of the Google Play Music app that does exactly what I need. See @CommonsWare's answer below where he does agree that I might be breaking convention. But then given the Play Music app, it may not be altogether that rare either.
