Sliding Drawer Not Showing

Question

I want to have a sliding drawer which shows up at the bottom of my view but it currently does not show. I have also tried using a linear layout as the root with the scroll view have a weight of 1 but that caused the scroll view and its contents to not show. Any ideas?

My View:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        tools:context=".AddScheduleItemActivity" >

        .
        .
        .

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

<SlidingDrawer
    android:id="@+id/slidingDrawer1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/scrollLayout"
    android:content="@+id/content"
    android:handle="@+id/handle" >

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/hadsfndle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="sdf" />
    </LinearLayout>
</SlidingDrawer>

Thanks, Nathan

In the picture I want the blue to be the scroll view and contents and the green to be the handle for the slider.

Tried following some other suggestions and came to this which still doesn't work. The contents of the scrollview show fine but the slider is not shown. Need some more suggestions! Thanks!

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        .
        .
        .

    </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

<SlidingDrawer
    android:id="@+id/slidingDrawer1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dip"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/scrollLayout"
    android:content="@+id/content"
    android:handle="@+id/handle"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/hadsfndle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="sdf" />
    </LinearLayout>
</SlidingDrawer>

</RelativeLayout>

Well it appears that sliding drawer is no longer supported so I guess I will look for an alternative :(

Perhaps your question had already been answer here.

Try this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
 >

<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        .
        .
        .

    </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

<SlidingDrawer
    android:id="@+id/slidingDrawer1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dip"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:content="@+id/content"
    android:handle="@+id/handle"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/hadsfndle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="sdf" />

        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/layout"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >


        </LinearLayout>

        <SlidingDrawer

                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@drawable/ic_launcher" >

                android:background="#C0C0C0"
                android:gravity="center|top"
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:padding="10dip" >

                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/Button01"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="Content" >

                    android:text="Content" >
                </Button>

                <Button
                    android:id="@+id/Button03"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="Content" >
                </Button>
            </LinearLayout>
        </SlidingDrawer>
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

If above code is not solve your issue then change parent layout to LinearLayout give weightsum=10 and then distribute among your scrollview & sliderDrawer to equal.

Try this,

Add layout_alignParentBottom on your SlidingDrawer.

 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
