First check, which is line 55 in file SlidingMenuActivity.java
As described here:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView 
at com.mycompany.slidingmenu.SlidingMenuActivity.onCreate(SlidingMenuActivity.java:55) 

you can put this line in try/catch or put debug breaakpoint into this line and check variables
