DrawerLayout conflicts with RecyclerView? RecyclerView fill the whole screen

I created an Activity using DrawerLayout which is attached in AndroidStudio.But When I used the RecyclerView, the RecyclerView filled the whole screen...?
<?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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

android:id="#+id/titleList"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The Button on the left top can't be used.Guess it was coverd by RecyclerView

Your layout needs to be structured like this :
<DrawerLayout>
//Main View
<RelativeLayout>
//this will show in your main Content,
</RelativeLayout>
//Second View
<LinearLayout>
//this will be seen on your drawerlayout
</LinearLayout>
</DrawerLayout>

Switch from blank activity to navigation drawer activity

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 .

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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</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.

Disable toolbar scrolling

I have the current setup:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/coordiator_layout_in_main"
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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_width="170dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"/>
<FrameLayout
// I place a fragment containing a viewpager containing fragments that contain a recyclerview....
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/nav_view">
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/settings_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:visibility="invisible">
</FrameLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_refresh"
app:layout_anchor="#id/coordiator_layout_in_main"
app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"
app:layout_behavior="com.material.widget.MyFloatingActionButtonBehavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Now everything work as expected if I scroll inside the framelayout that contains the fragments, the toolbar slides in and out as I want
Now the point is that I would like to disable the toolbar sliding in and out if I scroll the NavView which is on the side of the framelayout (and inside the relativelayout)
But no matter if I remove all scrolling behaviors the toolbar keeps on sliding in and out (only way to disable it is remove the scroll flags form the appbarlayout, but that disable all sliding in and out of the tolbar)
Please what am I missing here? Aren't the scolling behaviours supposed to pass the scroll events to the CoordinatorLayout?

Unfortunately, NavigationView contains NavigationMenuView which is RecyclerView and so it supports nested scrolling and moves AppBarLayout when scrolled. The best way to solve this problem would be to move NavigationView out of CoordinatorLayout. If it's not possible you can try the following code, which I haven't tested.
final RecyclerView navigationMenuView =
(RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.design_navigation_view);
navigationMenuView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
Please take into account that even if this code works it can break when the Design library is updated.

Move your NavigationView inside a DrawerLayout and the CoordinatorLayout inside the main content of the DrawerLayout.
From docs:
NavigationView is typically placed inside a DrawerLayout.
<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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- Your contents -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:menu="#menu/my_navigation_items" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

try this,
Put this activity_screen.xml
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.test.app.HomeScreenActivity">

app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<include layout="#layout/content_screen" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Put this content_screen.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_home_screen"
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:background="#android:color/white"
tools:context="com.test.app.HomeScreenActivity">
</RelativeLayout>

Remove this line of codeapp:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" from your ToolBar. Worked in my case.

For anybody who might be interested this is how I dealt with the issue.
I created my custom version of the NavigationView by copying the relevant files form the source,
they are:
NavigationView.java
NavigationMenuItem.java
NavigationMenuPresente.java
NavigationMenuView.java
ThemeUtils.java
Fix the imports so that the new NavigationView points to the newly copied files.
And finally add this setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) to the constructor of NavigationMenuView.
This is because, how #Michael correctly pointed out the NavigationMenuView is a RecyclerView, and as such it passes its scrolling events to the NestedScrollingParent (the CoordinatorLayout), by setting setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) we disable this behaviour and we get the desired result (scrolling the NavView does not expand/collapse the AppBar)

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 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:scrollbars="vertical"/>
</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:layout_height="wrap_content"
>

/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
>
<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.
