how to open slide menu on button click in android xamarin.forms?

Question

I want to create sliding menu in android in xamarin.forms. I know I can do this with help of MasterDetailPage. But I don't want to use MasterDetailPage. I want a button my page and on click of that button slide menu should open.

Is it possible to open slide menu without help of masterdetailpage in xamarin.forms?

Answer 1

You can do that by using eg an AbsoluteLayout as your page Content. Add the slide menu in your layout out of the current view, and on click, animate it into view. It's that simple.
