    copied!<p>I have seen a few questions raised on this topic (for e.g.: <a href="https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu/issues/5" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu/issues/5</a>) but I am still unclear. I hope somebody can clarify this.</p> <p>Context:</p> <p>See <a href="https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu</a></p> <p>I have an android app that organizes screens by activities and fragments (i.e.) each screen is an activity containing one or more fragments. The new requirement is to add a sliding menu (similar to what this library provides).</p> <p>Issue:</p> <p>It appears from the examples and discussion that the right model would be to have just 1 MAIN ACTIVITY that will then switch in/out fragments belonging to the different screens. In fact the author mentions in the above thread: "If you were to launch Activities based upon the list selection, then you would not have the behavior where you swap the views that you're talking about. " and also "You can't put an Activity into the above view. That doesn't really make sense when you think about what an Activity is. ". </p> <p>Why doesn't it make sense? Obviously, I am missing the point here.</p> <p>Question:</p> <p>Given that my project already contains multiple activities (one corresponding to each screen), is my only option then to re-organize the project to have JUST 1 MAIN ACTIVITY, in order to use this library? Or alternatively, is there any way to launch a new activity when a list item in the sliding menu is clicked, and still observe the sliding menu behavior, [<strong>EDIT</strong>- added the last part to be more clear] or in other words, on how exactly to use this library within my existing app design. </p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
