B4J Question ABMaterial - B4XDrawer like thing?

[techknight]

I use B4XDrawer on all my apps with the hamburger menu and it works nicely. I put all my options and settings there such as checkboxes, slider controls, etc.

Is there such a thing on ABMaterial? if so, how to implement it? Thanks.

ABM has sidebars where you can put any ABM component on: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/abmaterial-new-in-2-00-multiple-sidebars.71933/#content

Oh nice. is there a way to do it without the navigation bar/menu? I dont have one since my program is entirely an HTML5 canvas. But I do want the slide out sidebar on the left hand side to come out over-top like standard Android does. Although if I have to, I could put just the navigation bar at the top, and not the side one.

Basically, I am trying to replicate this:

In public Sub ConnectPage() you could simply remove ABMShared.ConnectNavigationBar(page) to get rid of the menu.

To get rid of the entire top section remove ABMShared.BuildNavigationBar(page, "Whatever", "../images/logo.png", "", "", "") from BuildPage()

ok but then how do I still use the sidebar? because from what I saw above in the link, its connecting into the navigation bar?

You are correct: it is connected.

Ahhh my apologies I've just tried it and indeed the sidebar is connected to the nav bar so my idea won't work.

I found this but it looks like you still need the navigation bar.

Yea, I need something thats orphan that does not rely on the navigation bar since I am not using it in an app. Or maybe its a navigation bar in of itself, without the "navigation" features so it works like B4XDrawer does.
