Android, jfeinstein sliding activity with a Google Map in it sliding when user touches map

In my android app I have a jfeinstein sliding menu , I enabled the sliding gesture to show and hide it.

In one of my activities I have a google map, but when I touch the map to navigate into it, if i slide my finger from left to right, the menu appears and the map doesn't move.

Is there a way to prevent the menu from sliding in and 'pass' the touch event to the map in order to let the user navigate it?

There are two ways to resolve your issue:

1. The easy way - sliding menu way, is to use the methods within the library and disable the sliding menu on certain activities/fragments. This is achieved by using the setTouchModeAbove

    // Allows the SlidingMenu to be opened with a swipe gesture on the screen's margin
    mSlidingMenu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_MARGIN);
   
    // Denies the SlidingMenu to be opened with a swipe gesture
    mSlidingMenu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_NONE);
   
    // Allows the SlidingMenu to be opened with a swipe gesture anywhere on the screen
    mSlidingMenu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN);
   

2. The most general solution would be to use onTouchIntercept method to decide is a touchevent should be passed through another view or it should be consumed by that viewgroup. The internet has enough examples addressing this.
