Описание тега drawerlayout

Android's DrawerLayout acts as a top-level container for window content that allows for interactive "drawer" views to be pulled out from the edge of the window. It is commonly known as Android Navigation Drawer.

As per the Android Design guide, any drawers positioned to the left/start should always contain content for navigating around the application, whereas any drawers positioned to the right/end should always contain actions to take on the current content. This preserves the same navigation left, actions right structure present in the Action Bar and elsewhere.

The DrawerLayout class is available in the Android Support Library (android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout).
