Hopefully I'm not too late to help...
Ok, so firstly you must declare a onNavigationItemSelected method within the root of the class of the Activity you have the Navigation Drawer in. Then you would need to write a switch statement which adds functionality to each item within the Drawer, as shown below:
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch (id) {
case R.id.item_home:
Toast.makeText(this, "Home", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.item_userProfile:
Toast.makeText(this, "User Profile", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.item_recycleSites_Maps:
Toast.makeText(this, "Waste and Recycle Sites", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.item_settings:
Toast.makeText(this, "Settings", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case R.id.item_logOut:
logOut();
return true;
}
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
The logOut();line refers to a method I have created underneath (also within the class root), which looks like this:
private void logOut() {
mAuth.signOut();
sendToLogin();
}
And finally, sendToLogin(); is a reference to the last method needed to complete this...
private void sendToLogin() {
Intent loginIntent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
startActivity(loginIntent);
finish();
}
The reason for having created the two additional classes instead of simply writing the Intent within the switch statement is due to good practise, and becomes a lot more practical if you have more than one Navigation Drawer within your application, which in my case is true.
Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, ask away!

Add this code
else if (id == R.id.nav_logout) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), YourLoginActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
}

Android - DrawerLayout and Toolbar not visible on first opening

I'm currently developing an android app using a Toolbar and a DrawerLayout. The main content is a custom SurfaceView where I can draw differents shapes, text ... The left menu is a NavigationView and is used as a toolbox (I select what I want to draw from the left and I draw it on the SurfaceView). Everything is working fine except for one thing : when I first try to open the left menu (by clicking the toolbar or by sliding from the left side of the screen) the items are not visible. And while I don't click on any item (which are not visible) they stay invisible. The problem is only fixed when I click on an invisible item, after that the menu is working fine. I'm using a custom theme to hide the status bar and remove the default actionbar :
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"></style>
<style name="ColladiaTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- Remove action bar -->
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<!-- Remove status bar -->
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<!-- Material theme -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
Here are some screenshots :

And here is the Activity code :
public class DrawActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String TAG = "DrawActivity";
private DrawerLayout drawer;
ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;
private NavigationView nav;
private DrawColladiaView colladiaView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_draw);
// Change toolbar
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
colladiaView = (DrawColladiaView) findViewById(R.id.draw_view);
colladiaView.setApplicationCtx(getApplicationContext());
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
// Add burger button
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
// Removes overlay
drawer.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
drawer.closeDrawers();
nav = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
setUpDrawerContent(nav);
}
public void setUpDrawerContent(NavigationView nav)
{
nav.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(
new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
selectDrawerItem(item);
return true;
}
}
);
}
public void selectDrawerItem(MenuItem item)
{
switch(item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.nav_home:
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
default:
Element newElement = ElementFactory.createElement(getApplicationContext(), item.getTitle().toString());
if (newElement != null) colladiaView.insertNewElement(newElement);
drawer.closeDrawers();
break;
}
}
#Override
public void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
drawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
drawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d(TAG, "onBackPressed");
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}

It looks like you should be overriding onOptionsItemSelected instead of onBackPressed:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// This will toggle the drawer if android.R.id.home is clicked
if(drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle any other menu item selections...
return super.onOptionsItemSelected;
}
To be honest, I do not see where your drawer is ever being opened. It should still respond to a swipe from the left edge though. This code will set it to be toggled when android.R.id.home is clicked (the back/menu button).

action bar menu item are showing but not working

Menu icon on actionbar are not working. Icon is showing but not clickable . I also apply different theme but not helpful.

Align menu item at Navigation to the right side in android

I made the navigation drawer at android app and make everything correctly to appear it from the right side but only I face one problem at the alignment of menu item to the right side but I couldn't , how I can do that?
The picture show navigation with menu items in the left side
This is the main_activity layout code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
and this is the activity_main_drawer menu items xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

If you project is using API level 17 or higher you can add android:supportsRtl to you manifest.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
...
</application>
This attribute declares whether your application is willing to support right-to-left (RTL) layouts. If set to true and targetSdkVersion is set to 17 or higher, various RTL APIs will be activated and used by the system so your app can display RTL layouts. If set to false or if targetSdkVersion is set to 16 or lower, the RTL APIs will be ignored or will have no effect and your app will behave the same regardless of the layout direction associated to the user's Locale choice (your layouts will always be left-to-right).
EDIT:
The answer in this post shows that exists a way to force RTL mode if it is available. In onCreate() method call forceRTLIfSupported().
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1)
private void forceRTLIfSupported() {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1){
getWindow().getDecorView().setLayoutDirection(View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL);
}
}

First when you are updating your toolbar it always hide your default menu. What you have to do is create your on menu with an icon and set is properties e.g ifroom. On the other hand for your navigation drawer you have to set your a theme with action bar activity and if you are using it in devices which are lollipop version than you will have to use AppCompat theme. I will reference the tutorial of slidenerd which are available on you tube which covers the material design it have details you need about navigation drawer in lollipop and pre-lollipop devices .
