I'm not surprised the visual editors in ADT are so far behind. It really is difficult to code such things. That is why I never use the visual editors. Actually, there are other reasons, too.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question
Out of interest, what are the other reasons? I find the visual editor doesn't give an exact idea of the final layout (doesn't auto-scale properly, show custom views sometimes or show sliding drawers at all) but it helps get the basic framework up and running quickly On 12 Feb 2011 10:46, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote: I'm not surprised the visual editors in ADT are so far behind.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question
Reminds me of trying to develop a web site with using JSF.. the visual editors suck at providing any sense of the actual layout and look and feel. Always better to do it in code and refresh the changes in the browser. On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 4:45 AM, Cliff Davies cliff.dav...@gmail.comwrote: Out of interest, what are the other reasons?

I will give that a try. Oh, I should say that I am using Android SDK 2.3, but I am most likely to switch to 2.0 since that is my target/ minsdk level. Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Sliding Drawer question
I was able to get this working. If you have a second could you answer one more question? Is there a way to make the Image for the Handle take up the whole width? No matter what I set the width to it stays the same. I even tried to change th width of the image to 1000px and it doesn't seem to make the handle any wider.

I seem to be running into the same issue here. See I am wondering if the fact that my listview isn't populated at start up if that has something to do with it.
