I have a custom View within the NavigationView. The problem is no matter in what combination, fitsSystemWindows is not working within the NavigationView. and the top item in the drawer always stays behind the transcludent statusbar.

So, if I've understood correctly, you want your custom view to get the necessary padding so that its contents are not clipped by the status bar right?
If that's the case then you need to set
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
in your root DrawerLayout, and then set
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
in your NavigationView component. Note that's false, not true :)
REASONING:
The new NavigationView component designed by Google uses the 'fitsSystemWindows' property to customize how its content relates to the status bar. Note that "customize" here is the key word, because the hardcoded behaviour for this particular component is that its contents should overlap the status bar and reach the top of the screen, while the status bar itself should be transparent to allow the drawer's content to be seen through it. This is specified as part of the new Material Design, as can be seen in https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/navigation-drawer.html.
So, the only way to disable this behaviour is to tell the NavigationView to not signal the fitsSystemWindow property, and only set this in the root DrawerLayout that contains all other views, which will do what you would expect and pad all its children views appropriately.
Note that this reasoning is confirmed also by this comment from Android developer Ian Lake in a blog post talking about this specific property.
P.S.
I would also remove all mentions to the 'fitsSystemWindows' property in all the child elements in your navigation_main_drawer XML, just in case, although it probably does have no effect whatsoever as it is..

im having an issue with layout. I am trying to get the constraint layout to be placed underneath the toolbar. However, it decides it wants to overlap the toolbar. I have tried using app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" with no luck.
The toolbar is creating in another xml file and called in using include.
Activity below
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

**Bunch of constraints here etc**
**Bunch of buttons here**
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Here is an image of what it looks like
What it should look like
Edit
It is fine when shown in the design view of the android studio. However when opened on a phone or emulator it is still broken.
App still looks like the second image when emulated.
With the fixes below
I faced the same issue then i cracked it with this.
in your constraint layout, write this
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior
You're implying this attribute to the parent tag. You must add this to the ConstraintLayout or the main content of the drawer layout.
Screenshot 1 and
Screenshot 2 of my app
The problem is basically this: The PagerTitleStrip and the RecyclerView go below my Toolbar even though I have set layout_behaviour to my ViewPager.
More detail:
I have a main activity that uses the layout below and then from it I launch fragments. Before trying the CoordinatorLayout + ViewPager and all of the other fancy stuff I just had a FrameLayout in which I displayed my fragments. However, I decided that I want to use
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
so that my Toolbar disappears when I scroll the recyclerview. I found online that FrameLayout had no behaviour in it to allow me to fix the position of the recyclerView going under the Toolbar and that's why I changed to ViewPager + CoordinatorLayout to manage my fragments.
However, that introduced a few problems. What I want to achieve is - A toolbar with a PagerTitleStrip attached to it, when I scroll the toolbar disappears leaving the PagerTitleStrip visible ideally, maybe it hides as well I don't care that much about that. But I want my Navigation Drawer to keep working and it doesn't. It's like it doesn't exist.
Now, this first layout actually has all of the above features working, but the problem is the strip is below the toolbar and it's not visible unless the Toolbar hides when I scroll. Drawer works. Recycler view items are partially hidden below the Toolbar unfortunately - they don't start scrolling from the right point of the screen even though I have that set - appbar_scrolling_view_behavior
Layout m_drawerlayout.xml for my main activity to inflate:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include layout="#layout/app_bar"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
And this is the code for my app_bar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" >
<Spinner android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
I tried moving elements around, in and out of other components but no success. For example, it seems logical that to make the PagerTitleStrip attached to the Toolbar and share one behaviour I'd have to nest the PagerTitleStrip inside the AppBar layout but PagerTitleStrip has to be a direct child of ViewPager to work...Any suggestions guys about all this? I'm new to all these design functionalities and I researched a lot without success, there are similar topics here but not at all what I need. Seems there's almost nothing on the internet about things I'm trying to do above (there are a few) compared to other basic topics.
If anyone is wondering why I'm using ViewPager when I have no tabs, it's because as I said, FrameLayout has no behaviour allowing me to use a disappearing Toolbar correctly and that's what I found is good to use. I also saw NestedScrollView could be used but I haven't used it ever so... I now want to possibly use the ViewPagerTitle which I guess limits me to ViewPager for the Fragments.
The problem is in the:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
Which the DrawerLayout should be the root layout.
Please see: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html#DrawerLayout
To add a navigation drawer, declare your user interface with a
DrawerLayout object as the root view of your layout. Inside the
DrawerLayout, add one view that contains the main content for the
screen (your primary layout when the drawer is hidden) and another
view that contains the contents of the navigation drawer.
Also, it is not recommended to use ListView instead of NavigationView.
And here is the doc suggested way to do(except that ListView:) ):
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
And also:
However, that introduced a few problems. What I want to achieve is - A
Toolbar with a PagerTitleStrip attached to it, when I scroll the
toolbar disappears leaving the PagerTitleStrip visible ideally, maybe
it hides as well I don't care that much about that. But I want my
Navigation Drawer to keep working and it doesn't.
Check my answer about this one:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/35241363/4409113
You just put your Toolbar inside CollapsingToolbarLayout like this:
<android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
android:id="#+id/collapsingtoolbarly"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|snap">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar"
app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="190dp"
android:minHeight="190dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/header"
app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
It should collapsed and the Toolbar will be hided after that.And if you want to keep that PagerTitleStrip(Recommended to use TabLayout Nowadays), just put it below the CollapsingToolbarLayout and above the </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout> like this:
</android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
That's pretty much it, Goodluck then.
I've been dealing with this DrawerLayout and NavigationViews and I don't seem to ba able to solve this issue. According to google guidelines the first navbar should cover the app bar and the second one should NOT.
How I achieve that? Whatever I do it either makes both of them cover or both of them not cover the app bar.
Since navigation view is pretty new I could not get any suitable answer googling and exploring overflow.com. Any guide, help, tutorial, sample... is highly appreciated.
Thanks before.
Here is my activity.xml
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

I don't know about NavigationView, but with other views a simple margin used to work. Try:
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
I am using Androidhibe NavigationDrawer and SwipeTab with Custom Action Bar as seen here:
http://www.androidhive.info/2013/11/android-sliding-menu-using-navigation-drawer/
The NavigationDrawer is shown over the ViewPager (below the ActionBar) but I would like it to show on top of the ActionBar. How can I achieve that affect?
You can use Toolbar instead of ActionBar to achieve that.
Here is a blog post that may help you from switching over to Toolbar.
The XML for your MainActivity would look something like this:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar"/>
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. -->
<fragment android:id="#+id/navigation_drawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.example.app.NavigationDrawerFragment"
tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The XML for my Toolbar looked like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"/>
I struggled with it at first, but once I switched over to using Toolbar the Navigation Drawer overlayed the Toolbar just like I wanted. If the blog post and sample code here is not enough, just let me know and I can continue to help you through it.
I notice that the drawers within the Google applications are scrollable, but I cannot for some reason come to the conclusion of how to achieve a scrollable DrawerLayout. I attempted to construct the layout file with the following design paradigm.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".mainScreen">
<!-- Layout of Activity -->
</FrameLayout>
<!-- DrawerLayout segment -->
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#77000000">
<!-- Layout of Drawer -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
But, with or without the ScrollView, the drawer just cuts items off at the bottom when they go beyond the end of the screen. I can't get any form of scrolling enabled. Not sure what I am missing or need to enable. Thoughts would be appreciated.
The LinearLayout in the DrawerLayout segment contains different styled views. One view displays title only with a divider below it, one displays an imageview with text next to it and another displays a title with a switch built into the row. So, multiple styled views need to be accounted for if done outside of XML coded layout files.
While using a ListView is a valid option, it was useful for me to attempt and resolve the situation for which I already had such a large XML file constructed for my layout in between the ScrollView above. As it turned out, there were only a few small modifications needed in order to get it working as intended. The latest layout file constructed is the following:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".mainScreen">
<!-- Layout of Activity -->
</FrameLayout>
<!-- DrawerLayout segment -->
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#77000000">
<!-- Layout of Drawer -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The main modifications required me to alter where the gravity and the margin existed. The gravity needed to be in the surrounding ScrollView otherwise it would cause odd behavior that didn't scroll or actually crashed in some instances apparently. Then the inner layout needed to be changed to 'wrap content'.
If the margin was not moved into the ScrollView as well, it apparently doesn't scroll down to the bottom. It left a margin of scroll unscrolled at the bottom. Once this was resolved, the DrawerLayout worked as was expected at this point. The ListView option also proposed is another approach to be used, but as mentioned at this point it was worth me analyzing it a bit further to re-use the code that I already had written; especially with several different custom views that would need to be handled inside the view.
It seems that it only works properly with a ListView. You will take less time to migrate to ListView than trying to make the ScrollView to work.
You should use a listview along with the frame layout. Something like this :
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="180dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
You can also refer to the Navigation Drawer documentation at developer.android.com. It has everything you will need.
