For Sliding menu by jfeinstein10 (https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu), I can slide anywhere in the app to slide open the menu.

For Google newly introduced navigation drawer http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation-drawer.html#side-nav, is there any way I can have similar behaviour?

So far, from documentation, I saw it only limit to slide from edge or touching the app icon.

The user can bring the navigation drawer onto the screen by swiping from the left edge of the screen or by touching the application icon on the action bar.

I have found a solution. You can configure margin of touch and make it as wide as your view is. Here is the link
