I am trying to use SlidingMenu (https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu/) in my application. My first problem was that the project used MATCH_PARENT, which was not built for me. MinSDK was set to 5, and targetSDK to 17. I tried to change min to 8, i.e. when MATCH_PARENT was introduced, no luck.
After replacing the whole MATCH_PARENT with FILL_PARENT, which both compile to -1, the project looks great. Then I started using ABS according to the developer's instructions on his github. Whenever I mention ABS, I get a lot of errors, such as:

As far as I can tell, SlidingMenu is throwing an error due to some of the XML in the ABS, which means that R will not generate, and I cannot use SlidingMenu.
