How to create a toolbar on top of navigation drawer(Android/kotlin)

I want to have a toolbar on top of navigation drawer like this
Here is my activity_main.xml
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 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/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
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:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
and my app_bar_main.xml
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout 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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorAccent"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
When i'm trying to create a toolbar in the activity_main.xml nothing happens...

Try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 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/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
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="false"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Navigation drawer with framelayout

I have a navigation drawer activity, which contains a framelayout that a replace with a fragment. But the fragment overlaps the appbar. I would also like if the navigationdrawer started below the appbar. How can I achieve that?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 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/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
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:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
<FrameLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/containerView">
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Get the app_bar outside your DrawerLayout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="#+id/app_bar"
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/app_bar"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<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:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
<FrameLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/containerView">
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Add the frameLayout to content_main.xml (Which is included by app_bar_main.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="bd.com.chalo.dsstudio.MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/containerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"></FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Create FrameLayout in saperate xml files and call them from java files accordingly.
Your DrawerLayoutActivity will contain no xml code for FrameLayout at all.

Specify Drawer Size - Xamarin Android

I have a drawer which is working fine on a large device but takes up the whole screen on a smaller device, i have tried using a weight but without success, maybe i am implementing it wrong? Code below. help appreciated, thanks.
Without Weight
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="325dp"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_view" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
With weight but still not working
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:weightSum="2"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_view" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

This is a complete implementation of NavgiationView layout code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="#+id/cin7toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/flContentSecure"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header"
app:menu="#menu/nav_menu_secure" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Hope that works for you.

And I use the default style "NavigationView" class in android-support-design library, the drawer will be the "full-height" style:
But actually I need the "clipped" drawer:

Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!

How to get the latest Android Navigation Drawer to open below the actionbar/toolbar?

I've looked at other questions and answers regarding this, but since those questions, the navigation drawer activity layout & code has changed slightly. Right now I have this:
But I want the drawer to open below the actionbar/toolbar similar to this:
activity_main.xml edited:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <changed to wrap_content
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
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/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<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="false"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
After changing to wrap_content I get this:
app_bar_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" >
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="#layout/content_main" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
I believe something needs changing in activity_main.xml and/or app_bar_main.xml... I could be wrong. Any ideas guys?

You simply need to re-structure your xml layout to have the DrawerLayout inside a parent view with your Toolbar outside of it. Like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <-- **Change this to wrap_content**
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 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/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<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_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
