Android Drawer with button to open it that moves with the drawer

Question

The question says it all. I know how to implement a drawer with the drawerlayout, but i have no idea how to place a button next to the drawer (to show the drawer) that moves along with the drawer.

Did you mean the button to show the drawer right? – Giorgio Antonioli Mar 20 '15 at 13:59 — Giorgio Antonioli, Mar 20 '15 at 13:59

You have to use ActionBarDrawerToggle.

ActionBarDrawerToggle myDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, myDrawerLayout, R.drawable.my_icon_for_drawer_toggle,
            R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {

    @Override
    public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
        invalidateOptionsMenu();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
        invalidateOptionsMenu();
    }
};

myDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(myDrawerToggle);

I think what you want is sliding menu. Look at this Github project which also provides example code for it
