<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 
<LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="horizontal"
 android:gravity="center_vertical"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"

     android:id="@+id/handle"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="Handle"/>
 
</LinearLayout>

Step 3 : Open src -> package -> MainActivity.java and add following code :

package balaji.slidingdrawer_lr;
 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 CheckBox cb1,cb2,cb3;
 int key=0;
 
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
        final Transparent popup = (Transparent) findViewById(R.id.popup_window);
     popup.setVisibility(View.GONE);
 
 final Button btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.handle);
 btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 
  @Override
  public void onClick(View arg0) {
   if(key==0){
    key=1;
    popup.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
   // btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
   }
   else if(key==1){
    key=0;
    popup.setVisibility(View.GONE);
   // btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_search);
   }
  }
 });
    }
}

Step 4 : Open src -> package -> Transparent.java and add following code :

package balaji.slidingdrawer_lr;
 
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.graphics.Paint.Style;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
 
public class Transparent extends LinearLayout 
{
 private Paint innerPaint, borderPaint ;
    
 public Transparent(Context context, AttributeSet as) {
  super(context, as);
  init();
 }
 
 public Transparent(Context context) {
  super(context);
  init();
 }
 
 private void init() {
  innerPaint = new Paint();
  innerPaint.setARGB(225, 75, 75, 255); 
  innerPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
  borderPaint = new Paint();
  borderPaint.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
  borderPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
  borderPaint.setStyle(Style.STROKE);
  borderPaint.setStrokeWidth(20);
 }
 
 public void setInnerPaint(Paint innerPaint) {
  this.innerPaint = innerPaint;
 }
 
 public void setBorderPaint(Paint borderPaint) {
  this.borderPaint = borderPaint;
 }
 
 @Override
 protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
  RectF drawRect = new RectF();
  drawRect.set(0,0, getMeasuredWidth(), getMeasuredHeight());
  canvas.drawRoundRect(drawRect, 5, 5, innerPaint);
  canvas.drawRoundRect(drawRect, 5, 5, borderPaint);
  super.dispatchDraw(canvas);
        }
}

Step 5 : Open AndroidManifest.xml and add following code :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="balaji.slidingdrawer_lr"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
 
</manifest>

Step 6 : Open res ->values ->strings.xml and add following code :

<resources>
 
    <string name="app_name">SlidingDrawer_LR</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
