I'm new to the drawer layout and the use of fragments.
I used the tutorial on creating an activity with a DrawerLayout.
It gave me a nullpointer on getActionBar(), so I added a toolbar to the activity main and used getSupportActionBar() instead.
Now it looks like the toolbar fills the entire screen, because the title is in the middle of the screen and the background of the toolbar is on the whole screen too. Here is the xml code:
<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">
<!-- Toolbar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF" />
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I've tried replacing the layout_height with 56dp and i've tried making a seperate layout file with the toolbar in it and include it into this xml, but that didn't work.
Why is my Toolbar filling the entire screen?
A DrawerLayout expects 2 Views in it. You supply 3.
The first view is the "background". It is the content of your screen. The second view, the drawer, is supposed to animate in and out.
You supply 3 views. So your toolbar is "the content"—thus fullscreen, and your drawer is your actual content.
To fix your issue, try something like this:
<DrawerLayout>
<!-- The main content view -->
<LinearLayout>
<Toolbar/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView/>
</DrawerLayout>
DrawerLayout will accept only two child views. Try to add the Toolbar in frame layout.
Or you can create like beliw.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- The ActionBar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways" />
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/flContent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#android:color/white"
app:headerLayout="#layout/layout_drawer_header"
app:itemTextColor="#000000"
app:menu="#menu/global">
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>

I currently make an activity with Drawer Layout and TabLayout, just like the one on this image. However, I'm having problems with actually displaying the tab title, which can be seen over here. While I can still swipe left or right to change the visible tab, the tab bar titles don't appear.
Here's the .xml layout for the activity (for your information, I'm using AppCompatActivity in the activity file for this layout):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px"
android:background="#android:color/white">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The Main Content View -->
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/request_tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabMode="fixed"
app:tabGravity="fill"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary" />
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/white" />
<!-- The Left Navigation Drawer -->
<ListView
android:id="#+id/leftDrawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#818181"
android:dividerHeight="2dp"
android:background="#E3F2FD" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I tinkered around a bit with the xml, and it appeared that the reason why the tab title couldn't be displayed is because I put the TabLayout inside DrawerLayout. However, putting the DrawerLayout outside of TabLayout makes the content of each tabbed page don't appear.
Is there any way to use both DrawerLayout and TabLayout and make the tab title bar appear?
There should be no problem to put a TabLayout inside a DrawerLayout, check the answers in this thread.
The only problem I found with your code is that your DrawerLayout is not the root view of your layout. When using this control, it must be designed as root view.
I am implementing Material Design into my app that has a navigation drawer. Amongst all the differing implementations of the Nav. Drawer and Toolbar with Material Design (see this post); I have chosen to keep the app feel similar to the ICS/Halo design and have the Nav Drawer slide out under the Toolbar. The problem is that the Toolbar dims with the shadow like the rest of the activity when the nav drawer is open. How would I keep the Toolbar from darkening? If you see the image in the post I linked above I am after #6, 3 or 5, but my looks more like #9 now.
Example (from post above):
What I'm after (no shadow on Toolbar):
What I currently get (Toolbar darkens when nav drawer is open):
Here is the code for my main activity's XML:
<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"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.funkhaus.navdrawer.app.MainActivity">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- We use a Toolbar so that our drawer can be displayed
in front of the action bar; Added for Material Design -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize" />
</FrameLayout>
<fragment android:id="#+id/navigation_drawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.funkhaus.brewwerks.NavigationDrawerFragment" />
The notable part being that the <FrameLayout> whose ID is 'container' is where all my fragments are inflated, and its marginTop was set to the height of the Toolbar so its content would be below the Toolbar. Similarly, the Navigation Drawer fragment also has its marginTop set to the height of the Toolbar so it slides out below it.
Thanks to #alanv I fixed my issue.
My post above shows my activity_main.xml code; I simplified it to this, removing the Toolbar view and removing the marginTop formatting:
<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:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.funkhaus.navdrawer.app.MainActivity">
<!-- 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" />
<fragment android:id="#+id/navigation_drawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.funkhaus.brewwerks.NavigationDrawerFragment" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I created a toolbar.xml, which I now setContentView() on in my main Activity that <include>'s the activity_main.xml above:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- We use a Toolbar so that our drawer can be displayed
in front of the action bar; Added for Material Design -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<include android:id="#+id/drawer_layout" layout="#layout/activity_main" />
</LinearLayout>
Finally, in my Activity's onCreate() I setContentView() on the toolbar.xml:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.toolbar);
// Rest of code here....
You do it in the same xml like this, This is for underlying toolbar navigation like play store app design
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Using the new Toolbar of Android 5 the icons appear cut off!
I'm using a drawer Navigation and the new toolbar. Any suggestions?
It seems that something it's above the toolbar
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Here it is the Drawer Layout
<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"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<include layout="#layout/toolbar"/>
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#color/gray_light_divider_list_drawerNav"
android:dividerHeight="1dp"
android:background="#color/gray_light_background_list_drawerNav"
/>
Edit: Adding these two attributes in the toolbar
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
IT LOOKS TOO BIG
I added the toolbar twice, in the drawer navigation and also in the fragment itself
the height of the toolbar is to small. you should have your toolbar's minHeght as this
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
The normal height of the Toolbar is 56dp. Try setting the height to that, it should look normal.
How to make the drawer layout be below the actionbar/toolbar? I'm using v7:21 app compat library with the new ToolBar view.
Examples that I see looks like
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/my_drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- drawer view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="304dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left|start">
<!-- drawer content -->
</LinearLayout>
<!-- normal content view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- The toolbar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<!-- The rest of content view -->
</LinearLayout>
But then the toolbar will be hidden by the drawer, which makes an animated hamburger icon (like v7.ActionBarDrawerToggle) useless since it will not be visible below the drawer, but I do want to use the new ToolBar view to support Material theme better.
So how to accomplish that? Is it possible to have DrawerLayout as a non top-level view?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The toolbar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/my_drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- drawer view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="304dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left|start">
<!-- drawer content -->
</LinearLayout>
<!-- normal content view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- The rest of content view -->
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
i don't think you can when using custom toolbar
but a work around would be to set a top_margin to drawer.
(the same thing on google play store!)
<!-- drawer view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
...
if you found a better solution tell me too ;)
Change Your drawer layout style like as below
RelativeLayout
----Toolbar
----DrawerLayout
---ContentView
---DrawerList
My solution: generate template with Android Studio 2.1.2, drawer template:
Only need three changes: set margin top in view NavigationView and delete overloap statusbar in style.xml
<item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">false</item>
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
layout main.xml set margin top get size actionbar value
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
<?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:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I had issues getting this to work, and it finally displayed properly. Here is the layout I used:
<LinearLayout...[add your namespaces, etc]
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar [your custom toolbar] />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout [your drawer layout] />
<LinearLayout>
[content here]
</LinearLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView />
</LinearLayout>
Be careful moving the design widgets around, if one is under the wrong root tag, you'll get a
"no layout_gravity_left"
exception.
I have found a simpler solution:
Set the DrawerLayout and NavigationView attribute:
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
and then give marginTop to navigation view as
"?actionBarSize"
maybe your statusbar background will become transparent in that case in styles.xml add
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
attribute to get back the normal color or any other color you want...
Here is the Kotlin solution:
In the layout file containing your DrawerLayout...
Add android:keepScreenOn="true" to the DrawerLayout
Add android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize" to the NavigationView
The full XML piece should look like this:
<com.mullr.neurd.Miscellaneous.CustomDrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/clipped_drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:keepScreenOn="true"
tools:openDrawer="start"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</com.mullr.neurd.Miscellaneous.CustomDrawerLayout>
That should do it (ignore my clipped nav drawer).
So my XML goes like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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" >
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/main_frag"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- ListView here -->
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
What is happening, even though I set my height explicitly as 56dp, the toolbar is acting like match_parent and wills the entire height of the screen? Is there a better way of doing this?
Or should I be putting the toolbar in side the layouts that my FragementTransactions fill the FrameLayout with? Which doesn't seem efficient because I have several of those.
DrawerLayout takes two children views: the first for the main content and the second for the drawer: both are always set to match_parent. Therefore your Toolbar and FrameLayout should be wrapped in a vertical LinearLayout which is set to match_parent as per the canonical example from the maker of AppCompat:
<!-- The important thing to note here is the added fitSystemWindows -->
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/my_drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- Your normal content view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- We use a Toolbar so that our drawer can be displayed
in front of the action bar -->
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/my_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/main_frag"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- Your drawer view. This can be any view, FrameLayout
is just an example. As we have set fitSystemWindows=true
this will be displayed under the status bar. -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="304dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left|start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- ListView here -->
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
