dimens.xml

<resources>      <!-- default screen margins, per android design guidelines. -->     <dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">16dp</dimen>     <dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">16dp</dimen>      <dimen name="slidingmenu_offset">60dp</dimen>     <dimen name="list_padding">10dp</dimen>     <dimen name="shadow_width">15dp</dimen>  </resources> 

menu_frame.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <framelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/menu_frame"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" /> 

activity_main

<relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:paddingbottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"     android:paddingleft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"     android:paddingright="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"     android:paddingtop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"     tools:context=".mainactivity" >      <textview         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/hello_world" />  </relativelayout> 

i understand it's stupid, can't seem find it

setting width of slidingmenu should trick, here's how can in code.

getslidingmenu().setbehindwidthres(300dp); 

300dp should specified in resource/dimen file @ run-time can converted pixel value accordingly. if want specify pixels directly can use '300' only.
