Android Sliding menu like facebook,gmail,google+,youtube

 Now a days most of the android application uses sliding menu. Many good apps like facebook, gmail,google+,youtube are using this type of menu.

To integrate sliding menu you need to use third party library. If you want to use actionbar in older version of android then sherlock library is also required.

Today I am going to explain how to use these library for sliding menu in your android application.

Output of the project is shown in below screenshot.

 You can download libraries and source code from following links.
