1. Add ids.xml to res/values directory of your repository
2. Add AnimationLayout.java to your repository
3. update statment "import org.zeroxlab.demo.R;" of AnimationLayout.java according to your namespace. (i.e. import my.app.R;)
4. apply AnimationLayout to your layout xml
5. define view @id/animation_layout_sidebar and @id/animatino_layout_content

Layout xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<org.zeroxlab.widget.AnimationLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <MySidebarView android:id="@id/animation_layout_sidebar ">

    </MySidebarView>

    <MyContentView android:id="@id/animation_layout_content">

Functions

You could use these functions to control AnimationLayout

• public boolean isOpening
