Put your ListView as the first child of the RelativeLayout, and your SlidingDrawer (and its contents) as the second child. This should allow your drawer to open over top of the ListView. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
