title: Navigation Drawer (Google+ vs. YouTube)
body: <p>Does anyone know how to implement a sliding menu like some of the top apps of today? </p>
  
  <p>Other Stack Overflow <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11328895/facebook-lide-slideout-menu-not-using-that-library">questions</a> haven't had any answers on how to do this, so I'm trying to gather as much info to help out others. All the applications I mention below do a great job of implementing the slide menu.</p>
  
  <h2>1. Google Plus (as of 7/7/12)</h2>

  <p>You can only go from the first screen to the second screen by clicking the G+ logo in the upper left hand corner. Notice that the entire screen moves from it's position and get's nudged to the right side of the screen (including the action bar). To get back to the first screen you can either slide the right side back into focus or you can click the G+ icon again.</p>
  
  <h2>2. YouTube (as of 7/7/12)</h2>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rkGFB.png" alt="YouTube slide out menu screenshot"></p>
  
  <p>You can go from the first screen to second screen using two methods. Either click the YouTube logo in the upper left, or you can use a swipe gesture to move it to the right. This is already different from the G+ app. Secondly, you can see that the action bar stays put (Unlike G+). Lastly, to get the original screen back it works just like G+.</p>
