What it is

Side-Menu.Android is an Android library implementing an animated side navigation menu with circular reveal animations and category selection. It wraps the CircularReveal animation utility to provide smooth, visually polished menu transitions matching Material Design patterns, deployed via Gradle dependency from JitPack. Single-module Android app structure: app/src/main/ contains the sample implementation with MainActivity.java orchestrating the drawer, RevealFrameLayout from CircularReveal library acts as the animation container, ContentFragment.java displays overlaid content, and layout XMLs define the DrawerLayout + LinearLayout menu items hierarchy. The library code itself is imported…

Start here

Open these first:

• app/src/main/java/yalantis/com/sidemenu/sample/MainActivity.java — Entry point of the sample app—demonstrates how to integrate the side menu library and manage fragment transactions
• library/build.gradle — Defines the reusable side-menu library build configuration and exposes it as a dependency to the sample app
• app/src/main/res/layout/activity_main.xml — Root layout containing the side menu container and content area—establishes the structural foundation for the UI
• app/build.gradle — Sample app build configuration that declares the library dependency and CircularReveal animation library
• app/src/main/java/yalantis/com/sidemenu/sample/fragment/ContentFragment.java — Fragment implementation showing how content swaps in response to menu item selection

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/Yalantis/Side-Menu.Android.git
cd Side-Menu.Android
git submodule update --init
./gradlew build
./gradlew installDebug  # Install sample app to connected device/emulator

Or skip submodule and add JitPack Gradle dependency directly to your own project's build.gradle.

Daily commands:

./gradlew assembleDebug        # Build debug APK
./gradlew installDebug         # Deploy to emulator/device
adb shell am start -n yalantis.com.sidemenu.sample/.MainActivity  # Launch

Or open in Android Studio, select app module, and click Run.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 6y ago
• 1. Submodule initialization: Cloning without git submodule update --init will fail the build — CircularReveal code won't exist. 2. Deprecated Support Library: Code uses…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
