Switch from blank activity to navigation drawer activity - android

I have started a project using blank activity.Is it possible to switch to navigation drawer activity without having to create a new project?

You can wrap up your content inside a CoOrdinator view then have the coordinator layout inside a drawerlayout and add the NavigationView like so:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
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:foregroundGravity="top"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<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">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include layout="YOUR_LAYOUT_HERE"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_drawer_header"
app:menu="#menu/navigation_drawer_content"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

delete the existing activity and its layout and right click your existing activity package then select new and then activity and select your your activity .

I am trying to make navigation bar but it is covering whole screen and not responding to screen.
this is the layout
I have fragment behind it, i suppose but by default navigation is open.
I think, you are adding your fragments in "fragment_container" which is a FrameLayout inside LinearLayout instead of nav_view. I also observer you are using match_parent for nav_view height. Which will overlap your fragment_container. It's better to design your DrawerLayout like below code which is recommended by Android Developers.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.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" />
<com.google.android.material.navigation.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" />
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
Add android:layout_gravity="start" to your NavigationView. That will move it offscreen, until you swipe right to reveal it.

How to include layouts in DrawerLayout programatically and smooth dragging of navigation view?

</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.app_bar_main, null);
drawer.addView(child);
I used this code to programatically add different Childs to drawer layout. When I add child programatically means navigation drawer is not working properly I mean it can be dragged out but not able to drag in.When I touch out side means it is closing.Can anybody know how to solve this. Thanks in advance.
Instead of including in drawer layout try to include in Coordinator layout.

Android have a navigation drawer and toolbar in a single activity

I am developing an app that will need ActionBar tabs as well as a navigation drawer. It seems, however that these two conflict with each other in layout. For a Navigation Drawer, I need to have a DrawerLayout as the root layout and then two other views for the drawer and content. This is really easy to, and works well. The code to do that is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/navdrawer"
tools:context="io.github.ncca_fbla.fabric.MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start">
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I can tell it works without even running or dong any other work:
The issue is that I need a TabLayout, ViewPager and a custom ToolBar all of which require a CoordinatorLayout as the root element to work properly. Is there anyway I can get the three views I need to work properly, keeping the DrawerLayout as the root? I have tried just adding them without a CoordinatorLayout as the root view, and the toolbar does not display properly. Basically, I am trying to combine, the above code with something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/coord"
tools:context="io.github.ncca_fbla.fabric.MainActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabMode="fixed"
app:tabGravity="fill"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
You can do it cleanly by storing your coordinator layout in a separate file named coordinator_tabs and including it in the DrawerLayout. Your file would then look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/navdrawer"
tools:context="io.github.ncca_fbla.fabric.MainActivity">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start">
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
If you're using Android Studio, you can see an example of this by right-clicking on a java folder and selecting New->Activity->Navigation Drawer Activity

Android design library CoordinatorLayout, AppBarLayout and DrawerLayout

I'm using the Android design library on API 22. I would like to:
have a Toolbar and a DrawerLayout inside which there is a RecyclerView
have the DrawerLayout be below the Toolbar; for example, when the toolbar is visible, the drawer's main content should be below it, and the (left) drawer should also be below it so that when it is expanded, the toolbar is still visible
have Toolbar be scrolled off the screen when the recycler view is scrolled down
Is this even possible? I have problems to marry #2 and #3. The way it is now is that the toolbar is always above the drawer layout, covering the first entry in the recycler, and the top of the left drawer as well. Here is my layout file (incomplete, but showing my structure):
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
It looks like though the RecyclerView's app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" setting has no effect, because when deleted, the behavior is the same.
I tried adding a RelativeLayout as a child of the CoordinatorLayout to define that the drawer is below the toolbar etc. but nothing seems to work.
Is what I'm trying to achieve possible with the library?
Try the following if you want to see the animation of the hamburger icon and arrow. If you include the top margin (layout_marginTop) for NavigationView it will move it down.

Yes! It is possible.

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
As you can see, what matters is basically that you set app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" for your toolbar to hide when you scroll. The RecyclerView at the bottom of the code is the one inside the DrawerLayout, the one above is the one in your main activity layout.
From the developers' page:
DrawerLayout acts as a top-level container for window content that
allows for interactive "drawer" views to be pulled out from the edge
of the window.
At first try placing the DrawerLayout as a top-level container (i.e. parent layout). Then place the CoordinatorLayout below and see what happens.
Plus you haven't added the NavigationView. Please check the fundamental instructions here.
Try this it should work, worked for me.
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

android:layout_height="match_parent"

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/scrollingRecyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/right_frame"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"/> (whatever)
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Scrolling behavior must be set to the direct child of CoordinatorLayout (to DrawerLayout). This should fix your #2, #3 problems. And in case your drawer content contains recyclerView Toolbar will be again scrolled off the screen.
Its been a long time now but I believe it still helps someone.
Drawer Layout must have one child layout. According to android docs it must be FrameLayout because the XML order implies z-ordering and the drawer must be on top of the content. Visit below link.
Creating a Navigation Drawer
Add your AppBarLayout, Toolbar, RecyclerView and all other views in FrameLayout and make it a child of Drawer Layout. Hopefully it will run.
