In your Activity if you have a reference to the DrawerLayout and in this case the FrameLayout with the id R.id.menuPane you can also do...

DrawerLayout mMenuPanel = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainmenuPanel);
FrameLayout mMenuPane = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.menuPane);
mMenuPanel.isDrawerOpen(mMenuPane);

Basically you have to pass in a reference to the view being used as the drawer within the DrawerLayout, which will always be mMenuPanel.getChildAt(1) anyways.
