Nipper's FullDrawerLayout Class is just simply awesome.. it's performance is also faster than the default drawer how ever you can;t use it on devices with api that don't have view.getLayoutDirection(); (i'e : Class doesn;t work on all gingerbread devices )

so what i did was

replaced all

view.getLayoutDirection();

with the below code

GravityCompat.getAbsoluteGravity(gravity,ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(this));

I have my support library updated to the latest also have extended the fullDrawerlayout to the support navigational drawer. Now it works fine Gingerbread devices as well
