Answer 1

If you mean the NavigationDrawer you find the official Tutorial on the Android Developers Website

There is also an example to download, which uses the NavigationDrawer to switch Fragments.

If you want a fixed, self-designed Menu and just want to swap out Fragments (holded by a FrameLayout) check out this Tutorial

Answer 2

Android officially doesn't provide more than one sliding menus (navigation drawers). You can implement SlideMenu or choose one of many such libraries for more than one sliding menus.

Once the menus are implemented, it's just a simple case of fragments and activities. There is no "direct way". Read the documentation and understand how they work. Here are some good links

Fragments - Introduction on developer site

Tutorial on multi-pane development using fragments by Mr. Vogel

Basically what you have to do is, create an Activity extending ActionBarActivity (from support library) or FragmentActivity . create fragments and replace them in FragmentManager from your main activity.
