Android Sliding Drawer TOP to DOWN

we can make sliding drawer in Android 3.0 and above easily with rotation.

for this purpose make a project with the name SlidingDrawer and copy the following code to your's
MainActivity.java


package com.jitesh.slidingdrawer;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}

}

the main.xml should have following layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

    android:background="@drawable/background" >

    <SlidingDrawer

        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:id="@+id/slidingDrawer"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="250dip"

        android:content="@+id/content"

        android:gravity="center_horizontal"

        android:handle="@+id/handle"

        android:orientation="vertical"
