Android Question MSMaterialDrawer and targetSdkVersion=28 and B4A ver 9.30

[Anser]

Hi,
I updated my B4A version to 9.30 from v 9.00

Now one of my application which was using MSMaterialDrawer is failing. When I click on the Burger Menu nothing is happening at the same time I could see the following error message on the Logs. This was working fine in B4A 9.00

I have updated the Andoid SDK to the latest. Did the Jetify trick too

Any help will be appreciated.

It is related to AndroidX. Make sure that the library is in the additional libraries folder and not in the internal folder. Clean the project (Ctrl + P) after you run the jetifier tool.

For new projects I recommend to use B4XDrawer.

The library is in the additional libraries folder.
Once again used the jetifier tool
I cleaned the project (Ctrl + P)
Unfortunately the same error.

Really interested to know the status from other MSMaterialDrawer users here

For new projects I recommend to use B4XDrawer.

Definitely yes

Where is the library files? I don't see it here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/msmaterialdrawer.53883/ ???

Yes. The Library owner removed it.

Anyway, I am going to substitute MSMaterialDrawer with B4XDrawer. That will be better

Two good alternatives:
B4XDrawer: [B4X] B4XDrawer - sliding drawer
SlidingMenu: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jfeinstein10-slidingmenu-library.36482/
