Your xml does not contain your outer layout, but I assume it is a relative layout. In a RelativeLayout, the elements' z levels are determine by the order they are added to the container. View added later will be on top. Try moving your sliding drawer to the bottom of your outer container. Like this --

<ListView android:id="@+id/listView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:stackFromBottom="true"
    android:transcriptMode="alwaysScroll"
    android:layout_above="@+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true" 
/>  
 <RelativeLayout 
    android:id="@+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
    <Button 
        android:text="kirim" 
        android:id="@+id/button_send"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="tambahItems"          
        >

    </Button>           
</RelativeLayout> 

<com.ltvie.chat.MultiDirectionSlidingDrawer
    xmlns:my="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.ltvie.chat"
    android:id="@+id/drawer"
    my:direction="topToBottom"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    my:handle="@+id/handle"
    my:content="@+id/content"
    >
   <include
        android:id="@id/content"
        layout="@layout/pen_content"
        android:gravity="top"           
        />
     <ImageView
        android:id="@id/handle"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="5dp"
        android:src="@drawable/sliding_drawer_handle_bottom" />          
</com.ltvie.chat.MultiDirectionSlidingDrawer>

you can just add translation for Z as you want(1dp,2pd,...) like:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView0"
    android:layout_width="110dp"
    android:layout_height="110dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
    android:contentDescription="@string/desc"
    android:translationZ="1dp"
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_icon" />

right and the outer layout you've shown is a relative layout. Move the entire sliding drawer block to the bottom of the xml code you've shown. (see edit).

slidingdrawer succes in front..but i got new problem...listview doesn't display,,,i get error java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.listview

[iagreen]

the xml change should not cause that error. Have you changed your java code recently? I would need to see more of the logcat and code to tell you what is going on there.
