Hello I want to create a click event with Navigation Drawer Activity in Android Studio. When I click Gallery in left menu I redirected it to Gallery activity with intent. It is okey it works but there is no left menu in Gallery activity. I want all redirected activities have left menu. How can I do this?

I only changed this with adding intent line.Everything else is default code when I chose NavigationDrawerActivity.
public class GalleryActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

setContentView(R.layout.activity_gallery);

Yes you can do this with activities also.
As activities are little bit hard or heavy in case of loading view and staring screen. that's why fragments are mostly preferred way with navigation drawer.
You can do
Create Base activity which have drawer and extend that activity in rest of activities. you can check implementation here and here
2nd option can be create main activity with navigation drawer and in content part of that load all fragments from the menu. For that you can check here

Because your GalleryActivity has a different layout.
If you want to preserve everything but the content of the main window i suggest you to use a fragment for the gallery instead of an activity

Cannot resolve Method 'replace (int)' for Fragment

im using the Navigation Drawer Activity and im stucked at one problem. I get this error message
Cannot resolve Method 'replace (int)
I was watching a tutorial but the guy doesnt get the error message somehow. I was also trying to solve the problem by reading other posts but it confused me even more.
My Code looks like this:
MainActivity.java
package androfenix.mycvapp;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;

import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#SuppressWarnings("StatementWithEmptyBody")
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.nav_aboutme) {
FragmentAboutme fragmentAboutme = new FragmentAboutme();
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
manager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.relativelayout_for_fragment).commit(fragmentAboutme);
} else if (id == R.id.nav_cv) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_skills) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_projects) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_download) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_website) {
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
}
And the layout fragment which i want to replace is this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/relativelayout_for_fragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="androfenix.mycvapp.MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main">
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Please Study about fragments
replace(R.id.relativelayout_for_fragment,"your about me fragment").commit();
why would you even pass fragment object in commit() method there is no such method;

Here FragmentTransaction.Commit() does not Require an Arguement
so instead of:
manager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.relativelayout_for_fragment).commit(fragmentAboutme);
use:
manager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.relativelayout_for_fragment, fragmentAboutme).commit();
Also make sure your FragmentAboutme is extending the support library
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

i am new in android. I have android studio 2.2.3.I create a project and select navigationDrawerActivity. when the Activity was opened, I could not see mDrawerListView.setAdapter() on the main activity. How can I add my custom adapter and listView instead menu activity main drawer layout?

Fragment doesn't replace in Navigation Drawer

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)

}
});
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#SuppressWarnings("StatementWithEmptyBody")
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
if (id == R.id.nav_home) {
// Handle the camera action
} else if (id == R.id.nav_articles) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_videos) {
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.content_frame, new FragmentVideo())
.addToBackStack(null)
.commit();
} else if (id == R.id.fb_posts) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_share) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_send) {
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
}
My FragmentVideo
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import com.paperwrrk.R;
public class FragmentVideo extends Fragment {
View myView;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
myView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_video, container, false);
return myView;
}
}
But when I click on the item from Navigation Drawer second fragment doesn't replace or hide the first one, it is overlapping like this
Please see the screenshot

Use a container instead of using fragment tag
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Hello World!" />
Now in activity
if(condition)
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container,new FirstFragment()).commit();
else
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container, new SecondFragment()).commit();
if this not works try to get the fragment container view ID..Here's the code:
transaction.replace(((ViewGroup)(getView().getParent())).getId(), fragment);

It works for me...
int id = item.getItemId();
android.app.Fragment fragment = null;
if (id == R.id.nav_profile) {
fragment = new ProfileActivity();
if (fragment != null) {
android.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
}

How to use Android NavigationDrawer to create other fragments?

It's my first Android project. I need to create a sliding menu to start different pages. Then I find in Android Studio 1.4 there is a default "Navigation Drawer"Activity for us to use.Here is the default image
So i want to click different items to start different fragments(i think it's fragments not activities). How can I add the code to start?
` I think I should add code here
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.nav_camara) {
// Handle the camera action
} else if (id == R.id.nav_gallery) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_slideshow) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_manage) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_share) {
} else if (id == R.id.nav_send) {
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}`
Here is all the mainactivity:

}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
}'
Here is main layout:
<include layout="#layout/app_bar_main2" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start" android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main2" app:menu="#menu/activity_main2_drawer" />

You're on the right tracks, this is how I'm doing it (example of 1 fragment only, others are the same).
case R.id.nav_feedback: handleFeedback();
break;
I like to have methods that clearly show by their name what they're doing; also I try to delegate some things into private methods to keep my code cleaner. On this item clicked, we need to handle feedback, and that method looks like this:
private void handleFeedback() {
changeToFragment(FeedbackFragment.newInstance());
try {
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.feedback);
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Now there's a method called changeToFragment, should be obvious what it does:
private void changeToFragment(Fragment fragment){
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.content_navigation_drawer, fragment)
.commit();
}
Of course, there's a Fragment class called FeedbackFragment, and be sure that you either use android.app.Fragment and getFragmentManager or android.support.v4.app.Fragment and getSupportFragmentManager. DO NOT MIX these, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time. Refer to this question to see their differences and which one you'll wanna use. I personally opted for the one from the support library.
I'll leave it up to you to implement the fragment classes, I hope this code was understandable for you.
