I saw a couple libraries that can do this, but i would like to avoid them if possible. I managed to do left to right, but i couldn't find out how to do on both directions. so here is my code:

    final SlidingPaneLayout slidingPaneLayout = SlidingPaneLayout.class.cast(root.findViewById(R.id.slidingpanelayout));
    slidingPaneLayout.setPanelSlideListener(new SlidingPaneLayout.PanelSlideListener() {

        @Override
        public void onPanelSlide(View view, float v) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onPanelOpened(View view) {

            switch (view.getId()) {
                case R.id.fragment_secondpane:
                    getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_firstpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);
                    getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_secondpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onPanelClosed(View view) {

            switch (view.getId()) {
                case R.id.fragment_secondpane:
                    getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_firstpane).setHasOptionsMenu(false);
                    getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_secondpane).setHasOptionsMenu(true);
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
    });

is there a way to make sliding panels on both left to right and right to left directions so that i will have 3 fragments, without any libraries?
