Sliding Menu not opening on swipe
<p>I am trying to use the <code>Sliding Menu</code> <a href="https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu/" rel="nofollow">Library</a> in my app but I am having a problem getting it to slide with my finger. I can get it to open if I call the <code>toggle()</code> method which I cann when the <code>home</code> icon is pressed or if I <code>slide my finger across the ActionBar</code> but if I slide my finger to open it where all the content is, nothing happens</p>

<p>this is my activity</p>

<pre><code>public class SmsActivity extends SlidingActivity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle state){
    super.onCreate(state);
    setContentView(R.layout.sms_layout);
    Intent i = getIntent();
    view = i.getIntExtra("sms_view", 1);

    ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
    bar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    bar.setIcon(R.drawable.menu_button);
    setBehindContentView(R.layout.sms_menu_layout);

    SlidingMenu menu = getSlidingMenu();
    menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
    menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);
    menu.setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width);
    menu.setShadowDrawable(R.drawable.shadow);
    menu.setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.slidingmenu_offset);
    menu.setFadeDegree(0.35f);
    setSlidingActionBarEnabled(true);

}
</code></pre>

<p>The menu should open up a <code>PreferenceFragment</code> and the content is just a <code>ListFragment</code></p>

<p>here is the XML for that activity</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" &gt;

&lt;fragment android:id="@+id/sms_frame"
    android:name="com.app.notifyme.Fragments.ContactListFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/&gt;

&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I tried following the example and I dont see anything different from what I have so I dont know what I am doing wrong?</p>
