Answer 1

I have implement "Persistent Navigation Drawer" via ViewPager and works fine as what I need.

Just use width as 0.8f in PagerAdaper/FragmentPagerAdapter

@Override
public float getPageWidth(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if (position == 0) {
        return .8f;
    }
    return 1f;
}

My XML file:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <!-- Framelayout to display Fragments -->

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/mainView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    </RelativeLayout>

    <!-- Listview to display slider menu -->

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/drawerView"
        android:layout_width="240dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="start" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list_slidermenu"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@color/list_background"
            android:divider="@color/list_divider"
            android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
    </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

My activity:

public class ProfileActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    ....
    private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
    private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;

    RelativeLayout drawerView;
    RelativeLayout mainView;
    ....

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {


        ............. //
        .............//
        drawerView = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerView);
        mainView = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainView);

        mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.app_name, R.string.app_name) {
            public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
                supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
            }

            public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
                supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
            }

            @Override
            public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView, float slideOffset) {
                super.onDrawerSlide(drawerView, slideOffset);
                mainView.setTranslationX(slideOffset * drawerView.getWidth());
                mDrawerLayout.bringChildToFront(drawerView);
                mDrawerLayout.requestLayout();


            }
        };
        mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);}
}

The code inside onDrawerSlide will get you what you want.
