title: How to import SlidingMenu on my project with ActionBarSherlock 4.2.0
body: <p>I found <code>https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu</code> very interesting and I want to use it on my existing project with actionbarsherlock 4.2. I have imported the library of the slidingmenu as an existing project of android. Then i went to the properties of my project and added the slidingmenu project as a library but I'm getting an error on SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu(this);. There is also a red "!" on my project's folder.</p>
