## What it is
A deprecated Android library providing a slide-out menu drawer for navigating between views in an app. It supports menus on all four screen edges, drag-to-open gestures, and always-visible menus on tablets.

## Use cases
- add a slide-out navigation drawer to an android app
- implement a menu that opens by dragging the screen edge
- show a persistent side menu on tablets
- highlight the currently visible screen with a drawer indicator
- add a drawer menu via XML layouts without custom activity classes

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- targeting very old Android versions where the support library DrawerLayout is unavailable

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the library is deprecated and unmaintained since 2014
- you need modern Material Design navigation components
- you want ongoing bug fixes or updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, mobile-framework
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: slide-out-menu, navigation-drawer, deprecated, android-ui, android
