        Container mySideMenuContainer = new Container() {
            @Override
            public void initComponent() {

                getParent().setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
                getParent().setScrollableY(false);
                getParent().revalidate();
            }
        };
        mySideMenuContainer.addComponent(container);
        toolbar.addComponentToSideMenu(mySideMenuContainer);
        f.show();
    }

the container contains only half of screen as shown in image

There is no API for that and it's not supported.

However, like anything in Codename One you can sometimes hack things together.

E.g. something like this should work as a hack although I can't guarantee it will work forever as it relies on implementation details of the addComponentToSideMenu method:

Container mySideMenuContainer = createSideMenuContainer() {
     @Override
     public void initComponent() {
        Container p = getParent();
        if(!(p.getLayout() instanceof BorderLayout)) {
            Component[] cmp = new Component[p.getComponentCount()];
            for(int iter = 0 ; iter < cmp.length ; iter++) {
               cmp[iter] = p.getComponentAt(iter);
            }
            p.removeAll();
            p.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            if(cmp.length == 1) {
               p.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, cmp[0]);
            } else {
               p.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, cmp[0]);
               p.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, cmp[1]);
            }
            p.revalidate();
        }
     }
};
toolbar.addComponentToSideMenu(mySideMenuContainer);
