SlidingPaneLayout也是系统支持的高级控件，是Android团对在2013 google IO大会期间更新的Support库（Version 13）中新加入的重要的功能。它支持左右滑动菜单，和SlidingMenu相似。这篇文章简单的介绍SlidingPaneLayout怎么使用，SlidingPaneLayout的使用和前面介绍的Navigation Drawer的使用无二异。

    SlidingPaneLayout是一个水平的多层的布局控件，左侧或第一个视图是导航层，其他的为内容视图。

SlidingPaneLayout一般支持左侧滑出，没有右侧导航。

SlidingPaneLayout属于布局类：

class="html"><android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/sliding_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/sliding_list"
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="#111"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp" />

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content_frame"
        android:layout_width="300dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

</android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout>

SlidingPaneLayout的使用和Navigation Drawer相同，有疑问的地方可以参考demo。
