After doing some reading on developer.android.com I am seriously considering the removal of menu drawer navigation from my app.

Before I do, however, I wanted to hear your opinion: why was android.widget.SlidingDrawer deprecated as of API 17?

EDIT:

This is a valid question. Why the android.widget.SlidingDrawer got deprecated? and what else can be used in place of Sliding drawer to get same effect?

  • I feel this is valid question, just because author mentioned "**I wanted to hear your opinion**" does not make the question "not constructive". I would also like to know, what could be the reason, it got deprecated. – Shrikant Ballal Mar 21 '13 at 11:25
  • I think such widgets can be implemented using Fragments and FragmentTransactions so when there is always more than one way to do something it makes sense to simplify the API by deprecating (and at a later date) removing functionality. – Daniel S. Fowler Mar 21 '13 at 11:47
  • Please re-open this question. I would like to know peoples' opinions to this perfectly valid question. I think it was way OTT to close it. – Andrew S May 03 '13 at 17:15
  • Someone told me that SlidingDrawer didn't do the same thing as the 3rd-party SlidingMenu that has become so popular. – Quasaur May 05 '13 at 20:19
  • Please reopen this question – quinestor Jun 10 '13 at 13:57
