my primary goal is to have a navigation drawer with a Scrolling Activity while implementing material design so it would look something like a combination of these two:
Navigation Drawer Sample Image (Credits to Google)
Scrolling Activity Sample Image (Credits to Google)
As of right now I am doing this by associating a Navigation Drawer Layout's xml to my main activity and then including a Scrolling Layout's xml inside of Navigation Drawer Layout's content xml.
It's working after implementing many small changes in xmls of both the layouts but I don't feel like it's the optimal way to do so as it results in using more than 7 xmls at once for only one activity.
Does anybody know of a better way to do so?
You have to include scrolling layout into navigation layout.
<?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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<include layout="#layout/activity_scrolling"/>
<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:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

In Swift, we can use a Library called "SideMenu" to show a viewController on the SideMenu.
Now, I'm coding in Android. I want to display activity in the NavigationView we can only display a Menu or header.
I cannot show an activity or fragment on the NavigationView.
Can you help me or give me some advice about this problem?

Android app can display one activity at once (it's changed recently but in your scenario it's still true). In your case you should inflate View or Fragment. Just put your layout or fragment inside NavigationView:
<?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">
<TextView
android:text="Custom View"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView>
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
NavigationView extends FrameLayout so if you will inflate menu it will overlap. Because of that you may want to delete:
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer"
If you are using the android navigation component you can see the full detailed information to achieve this and replacing the fragments to corresponding to user clicks/choices drawer layout with navigation component
if you aren't using the android navigation component and just using the drawer layout you can see this drawer layout
I'm looking for a way to reproduce the navigation drawer of iOS on Android.
I can't figured out how to reproduce it.
The Navigation Drawer on iOS slide all the previous page and keep a little part of it on screen like this:
iOS like Navigation Drawer
Meanwhile the android Navigation Drawer goes over the previous page and hide it like this:
Android like Navigation Drawer
Is it just possible ?
Affirmative, it's very much possible in Android. Add the following in your build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.infideap.drawerbehavior:drawer-behavior:0.2.2'
}
Use android.support.design.widget.NavigationView inside your layout with com.infideap.drawerbehavior.AdvanceDrawerLayout to achieve this type of behavior like this:
<com.infideap.drawerbehavior.AdvanceDrawerLayout 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"
android:background="#color/colorWhite"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/app_bar_default"
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"
android:background="#color/colorWhite"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</com.infideap.drawerbehavior.AdvanceDrawerLayout>
For more on the implementations & sample demos, please follow this link. Hope this helps!
iOS doesn't have a build-in Navigation Drawer component. The first link you provided contains a custom implementation. Best possible is to use third-party solution. For example, quite popular is SideMenu.
I am new to android and I am going to design this kind of layout that is complex to me. Here's the code of main_activity.xml file:

Basically I have in my main activity a Navigation drawer and 3 tabs. Here's a picture:
Everything works as I want and I'm happy.
When I click on a navigation drawer item I start a new intent to open a new activity and it's good but the drawer disappears of course (becase the new activity does NOT have the drawer). I want to keep the drawer in the screen always.
To keep the drawer on my screen I thought that I could have placed the TabLayout of the above XML as a fragment; in this way the drawer would still be there. But how can I do this? How can I place the TabLayout in a fragment so that I can replace this fragment with TabLayout or other fragments?
I think that I could put a FrameLayout instead of TabLayout but I do not know if it's good idea and how would it work. Any help?
There are similar questions like this but they haven't helped me because I'm still stuck here
More. If you click on results, the ThisSeason activity is launched and it has some fragments inside (inclusing ResultsFragments). That works, but there is no navigation drawe anymore and I have to press the back button!
I'll give you a general idea for implementing this.
Make a base activity for your application.
Then make fragment for each activity including the screen which has tabs. So, if you have 5 items in nav view then total of 6 fragments will be created.
Add the nav view and related functions in the main activity xml and java file. This will basically add navigation view to the base activity and since you're using fragments, all the pages(fragments) will have the navigation view.
Additional Note: You can make multiple subclasses to handle specific functions, like one for handling actionMode, navigation view and updating the title in the toolbar. You get the point.
Also, all the features which are common to all the fragments should be added in the base activity only instead of repeating the same code everywhere.
I'm using android navigation drawer menu. I want to show navigation drawer in my all activities class. If i want to use it what i need to do actually. If anyone give tips it'll very helpful.
Make a BaseActivity Activity, which will be extended by every other Activity.
The layout of the BaseActivity will be a DrawerLayout, that contains a FrameLayout and the Navigation Drawer. It will look something like this (In this case, the Navigation Drawer is a RecyclerView) -
<?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:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Content-->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/base_frame"/>
<!-- Side navigation drawer UI -->
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/nav_drawer_rv"
android:layout_width="280dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Make the FrameLayout a protected class field, and in every Activity that extends the BaseActivity, inflate the layout as such -
getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.your_activity, baseFrameLayout);
Make the BaseActivity handle all interactions with the Navigation Drawer (selecting items, switching Activities, etc...).
I used the way https://stackoverflow.com/a/27051852/3875363 to achieve the drawer behind the status bar, it seems fine before only stay for one view.
But I faced a strange case after I hide and show this fragment, a white padding appears on the bottom of the drawerlayout, it likes below.
I comment most codes to show a simple example.
The layout of activity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/content_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
The layout of fragment with drawer
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
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=".MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="#+id/action_bar_in_list"
layout = "#layout/toolbar"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<com.ghostflying.portalwaitinglist.ScrimInsetsFrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/debug_content"
android:background="#color/setting_item_group_title_text"
app:insetForeground="#4000"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width">
</com.ghostflying.portalwaitinglist.ScrimInsetsFrameLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The layout of the second fragment:
<FrameLayout 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">
<!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="#string/hello_blank_fragment"/>
</FrameLayout>
Once I hide the drawer fragment, show the second fragment, then I popup the back stack to return. The drawer fragment will seem like the image, a padding with the height of status bar always appear. So strange.
Try to remove android:paddingBottom from DrawerLayout.
android:paddingTop makes Drawer doesn't cover the Status Bar, but there is no reason to duplicate padding at the bottom.
EDIT:
After your update, I analyzed it once more and I think your issue can be caused by your unusual design. All guides suggest that DrawerLayout should be root element of view hierarchy (as in your example you provided). See here: link
So I suggest one of these solutions.
Use separate Activities to display Views with and without Drawer. (I recommend this, especially when your Drawer plays navigational role.)
Use one Activity with Drawer Layout as root and put Fragments as Drawer's main content. If you don't want Drawer to be openable use this method after changing Fragment:
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
Try to remove the android attribute:
fitsSystemWindows = "true"
This worked for me.
According to the official documentation it's a
Boolean internal attribute to adjust view layout based on system
windows such as the status bar. If true, adjusts the padding of this
view to leave space for the system windows.
