Make Android "SlidingPaneLayout" push actionbar too

Question

I am using android.support.v4.widget.SlidingPaneLayout to make a sliding menu. Alas, SlidingPaneLayout only pushes main contents, and does not include the action bar. I want this layout to push the action bar too!

I would like the layout like this:

Answer 1

(Sorry for poor English. Please somebody edit this answer.)

Finally, I solved this problem! I inspired by this project

In short,

ActionbarActivity has view hierarchy like this (but different version has different hierarchy! this example is hierarchy of android 2.3 gingerbread.).

A(decorView)--- B(FrameLayout)--- C(LinearLayout)--- D(Layout including actionbar)
                                                 \__ E(Layout including contents)

1. remove B from A
2. inflate SlidingPaneLayout (called F)
3. inflate sliding menu's view (called G)
4. add G into F
5. add into F
6. add F into A

and result.

A(decorView)--- F(SlidingPaneLayout)--- G(sliding menu view)
                                    \__ B(FrameLayout)--- C(LinearLayout)--- D(Layout including actionbar)
                                                                         \__ E(Layout including contents)

application codes in below

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    @InjectView(R.id.hello)
    TextView mTextView;
    @InjectView(R.id.call_menu)
    Button mCallMenu;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ButterKnife.inject(this);

        //get A
        ViewGroup parentView = (ViewGroup) getWindow().getDecorView();

        //get B
        ViewGroup viewIncludingAction = (ViewGroup) parentView.getChildAt(0);

        //maintain background theme
        TypedArray a = getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(new int[] {android.R.attr.windowBackground});
        int background = a.getResourceId(0, 0);
        a.recycle();
        viewIncludingAction.setBackgroundResource(background);

        //remove B
        parentView.removeView(viewIncludingAction);

        //inflate F
        final ViewGroup paneLayout = (ViewGroup) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.view_slide_pane, null, false);

        //inflate G
        View menuView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.fragment_side_menu, paneLayout, false);

        //because there's no default padding for status bar, add it mint result = 0;
        int result = 0;
        int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        if (resourceId > 0) {
            result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
        }
        menuView.setPadding(0, result, 0, 0);

        //process 4~6
        paneLayout.addView(menuView);
        paneLayout.addView(viewIncludingAction);
        parentView.addView(paneLayout);


        mCallMenu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                                         @Override
                                         public void onClick(View view) {
                ((SlidingPaneLayout)paneLayout).openPane();
        }
        });
    }
