There is no relation between AppCompat and SlidingMenu.

In the example you are talking about the hamburger icon is created with this code:

ToolbarHelper.UpIndicatorDrawable = BitmapToBitmapDrawable(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "hamburger.png").Resize(32dip, 32dip, True))

The up indicator is always in the left side.

You can show the hamburger icon on the right side.

1. Make sure that there are no overflow menu items.
2. Add it as a menu item:

Sub Activity_CreateMenu(Menu As ACMenu)
   Menu.Clear
   Dim bd As BitmapDrawable = BitmapToBitmapDrawable(LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "hamburger.png", 32dip, 32dip, True))
   Dim item2 As ACMenuItem = ACToolBarLight1.Menu.Add2(0, 0, "right menu", bd)
   item2.ShowAsAction = item2.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
End Sub

Sub Activity_CreateMenu(Menu As ACMenu)
    Menu.Clear
'    Menu.Add(0, 0, "Overflow1", Null)
'    Menu.Add(0, 0, "Overflow2", Null)
'    Menu.Add(0, 0, "Overflow3", Null)
' 
    Dim item As ACMenuItem = ACToolBarLight1.Menu.Add2(0,0, "cart", Null)
    item.ShowAsAction = item.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
    UpdateIcon("cart", AddBadgeToIcon(cartBitmap, badge))

    Dim bd As BitmapDrawable = BitmapToBitmapDrawable(LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "hamburger.png", 32dip, 32dip, True))
    Dim item2 As ACMenuItem = ACToolBarLight1.Menu.Add2(0, 0, "right menu", bd)
    item2.ShowAsAction = item2.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS
  
End Sub

now i have two hamburger icons .. when i clicked in the right icon there is no action(the sliding menu doesn't appear) , and how to replace the left hamburger icon with cart icon?
thanks Erel..

You need to set the sliding menu mode: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jfeinstein10-slidingmenu-library.36482/#content and call sm.ShowSecondaryMenu.

now i have two hamburger icons

See how the up indicator icon is set in the example.
