Answer 1

You should google it up, there are quite a few samples with good explanation, like these:

• Android SlidingDrawer with Custom View or
• Example to implement SlidingDrawer in XML or
• Widget: SlidingDrawer top to bottom

Answer 2

you should use oops for that

first make a BaseActivity which extends android.app.Activity. Now this will be the parent Activity for all of your app's Activities where you want to display status bar. Define all the function related to custom status bar in that and a parent layout for holding views related to child Ativity

xml layout for BaseActivity will be like this

    <com.abc.xyx.customnotification.CustomDrawer
    xmlns:my="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.abc.xyx.app"
    android:id="@+id/drawer"
    my:direction="topToBottom"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    my:handle="@+id/handle"
    my:content="@+id/content"
    android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
    >
    <include
        android:id="@id/content"
        layout="@layout/slider"/>
    <ImageView

        android:id="@id/handle"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="150px"
        android:visibility="invisible"

        android:src="@drawable/tooltiparea" />
</com.abc.xyx.customnotification.CustomDrawer>


<RelativeLayout >
this layout is used for holding child Activities views
</RelativeLayout>

generate accesser method to access the slidingdrawer and parentLayout.

now your activities in which you want to add customSlidingBar should extends from BaseActivity in this way you only have to code once for sliding drawer implemation

hope it helps
