slidingdrawer

I have a sliding drawer menu in an activity, which has an actionbar with some tabs on it. I'd like to get the sliding drawer to slide over the tabs , not below them. This is what it looks like right now... Any ideas on how this could be done?

What I'd like is for the content to sit neatly on the bottom of the screen. I've tried everything I

When the user switches to landscape mode (widescreen) I would like to have the handler located on the left. When I change the orientation from vertical to horizontal, the handler is placed on the right.
