Yes, it's possible right [out of the box][m1]:

[![enter image description here][1]][2]

Just [initialize the plugin][m2] like this:

    // Initialize collapse button
    $(".button-collapse").sideNav();

### [Demo in Plunker][3]

### Demo in Stack Snippets





    $(".button-collapse").sideNav();



    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.97.0/css/materialize.css">
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.97.0/js/materialize.js"></script>

    <nav>
      <ul class="right hide-on-med-and-down">
        <li><a href="#!">First Sidebar Link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#!">Second Sidebar Link</a></li>
      </ul>
      <ul id="slide-out" class="side-nav">
        <li><a href="#!">First Sidebar Link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#!">Second Sidebar Link</a></li>
      </ul>
      <a href="#" data-activates="slide-out" class="button-collapse"><i class="mdi-navigation-menu"></i></a>
    </nav>



For testing, just enable emulation in the chrome developer tools, reload the page, and swipe in from the edge.

I know [Materialize.css][1] has an option to swipe left to dismiss the open sidemenu, but is it possible to open the menu by swiping right as found in most android phones. 

I have a meteor.js implementation for a android app and would want to know if such a feature offered out of the box.
