title: Android SlidingMenu library installation
body: <p>I am trying to follow <a href="http://www.michenux.net/android-sliding-menu-part-1-657.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a> tutorial.</p>
  
  <p>The aim is to integrate the <a href="https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu" rel="noreferrer">SlidingMenu</a> android library. As per the instructions in the tutorial:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>For non-maven project : Copy
    library/target/slidingmenu-1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar into the libs directory of
    your project.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I don't know how to use Maven and I don't want to introduce another layer of complexity.</p>
  
  <p><em>So, can anyone please tell me where to locate the <strong>library/target/slidingmenu-1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar</strong> file?</em></p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>With the exception of the Maven section, I followed the tutorial completely but got the following single error:</p>
  
  <p><strong><code>slidingmenu cannot be resolved or is not a field</code></strong></p>
  
  <p>The error is caused by this line of code: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>slidingMenu.setMenu(R.layout.slidingmenu);</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm a newbie but I know that's an issue of a missing resource. What I don't know is if it's related to the Maven issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how to fix it will be greatly appreciated.</p>
