I've been dealing with this DrawerLayout and NavigationViews and I don't seem to ba able to solve this issue. According to google guidelines the first navbar should cover the app bar and the second one should NOT.
How I achieve that? Whatever I do it either makes both of them cover or both of them not cover the app bar.
Since navigation view is pretty new I could not get any suitable answer googling and exploring overflow.com. Any guide, help, tutorial, sample... is highly appreciated.
Thanks before.
Here is my activity.xml
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

I don't know about NavigationView, but with other views a simple margin used to work. Try:
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"

im having an issue with layout. I am trying to get the constraint layout to be placed underneath the toolbar. However, it decides it wants to overlap the toolbar. I have tried using app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" with no luck.
The toolbar is creating in another xml file and called in using include.
Activity below

Here is an image of what it looks like
What it should look like
Edit
It is fine when shown in the design view of the android studio. However when opened on a phone or emulator it is still broken.
App still looks like the second image when emulated.
With the fixes below
I faced the same issue then i cracked it with this.
in your constraint layout, write this
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior
You're implying this attribute to the parent tag. You must add this to the ConstraintLayout or the main content of the drawer layout.
I have a custom View within the NavigationView. The problem is no matter in what combination, fitsSystemWindows is not working within the NavigationView. and the top item in the drawer always stays behind the transcludent statusbar.
main_layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

So, if I've understood correctly, you want your custom view to get the necessary padding so that its contents are not clipped by the status bar right?
If that's the case then you need to set
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
in your root DrawerLayout, and then set
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
in your NavigationView component. Note that's false, not true :)
REASONING:
The new NavigationView component designed by Google uses the 'fitsSystemWindows' property to customize how its content relates to the status bar. Note that "customize" here is the key word, because the hardcoded behaviour for this particular component is that its contents should overlap the status bar and reach the top of the screen, while the status bar itself should be transparent to allow the drawer's content to be seen through it. This is specified as part of the new Material Design, as can be seen in https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/navigation-drawer.html.
So, the only way to disable this behaviour is to tell the NavigationView to not signal the fitsSystemWindow property, and only set this in the root DrawerLayout that contains all other views, which will do what you would expect and pad all its children views appropriately.
Note that this reasoning is confirmed also by this comment from Android developer Ian Lake in a blog post talking about this specific property.
P.S.
I would also remove all mentions to the 'fitsSystemWindows' property in all the child elements in your navigation_main_drawer XML, just in case, although it probably does have no effect whatsoever as it is..
I am using Androidhibe NavigationDrawer and SwipeTab with Custom Action Bar as seen here:
http://www.androidhive.info/2013/11/android-sliding-menu-using-navigation-drawer/
The NavigationDrawer is shown over the ViewPager (below the ActionBar) but I would like it to show on top of the ActionBar. How can I achieve that affect?
You can use Toolbar instead of ActionBar to achieve that.
Here is a blog post that may help you from switching over to Toolbar.
The XML for your MainActivity would look something like this:
<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"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar"/>
<!-- 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"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. -->
<fragment android:id="#+id/navigation_drawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.example.app.NavigationDrawerFragment"
tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The XML for my Toolbar looked like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"/>
I struggled with it at first, but once I switched over to using Toolbar the Navigation Drawer overlayed the Toolbar just like I wanted. If the blog post and sample code here is not enough, just let me know and I can continue to help you through it.
I'm struggling with LinearLayout when using DrawerLayout. This is using the Android Studio template for DrawerLayout:
<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"
tools:context=".MyActivity">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:background="#00f"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<LinearLayout
android:background="#f00"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.

android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. -->
<fragment android:id="#+id/navigation_drawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.test.testdrawerlayout.NavigationDrawerFragment"
tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The preview in Android Studio shows this:

However, when running on my Nexus 5, the following shows:
http://imgur.com/w4QeGbB
As you can see, the layout_weight="1" part is not showing at all. When I create a blank project with the inner LinearLayout however, the layout works (with the blue layout taking most of the screen with the red layout at the bottom, just like the preview).
Any ideas would be really appreciated, as I'm completely stumped right now. Thanks in advance.
It appears I was using an older Android SDK platform. Once I went into SDK manager and installed API 19, it worked (with a new project).
Maybe it was a bug in an older implementation?
This is definitely an Android issue (or at least appcompat/design library issue). I've tested with different layouts inside the DrawerLayout, and concluded that the problem was "content_layout" file - the one that is displayed below the drawer.
Only using a clean, plain FrameLayout worked. No CoordinatorLayout, no fragments, no custom layouts nor 3rd-party layouts, just a good old FrameLayout with "match_parent" as width and height.
Inside the drawerlayout you should have a FrameLayout which contains the main content for your screen and you should also have a ListView in most cases to hold the contents of the navigation drawer.
It should be as such:
<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">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Now place your LinearLayout within the FrameLayout. Think of the FrameLayout as the "container" that holds your main screen.
Note that the official Android documentations state that
The main content view (the FrameLayout above) must be the first
child in the DrawerLayout because the XML order implies
z-ordering and the drawer must be on top of the content.

Please mark this as the answer if it solved your problem. Thank you.
UPDATE:
Okay first, remove "xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"" from your linearlayout. That should only appear once and in the main root xml, in this cause the DrawerLayout.
Next, fix how you are using your weights. Declare a android:weightSum attribute. Think of weightSum as a pie. In this case we set it too 5, so we have 5 pieces of the pie. Anything inside this layout using the android:layout_weight attribute. This first one is set to 4, which will take 4/5ths of the screen. The last one is 1/5th of the screen at the bottom.
Make sure this LinearLayout is still wrapped within the FrameLayout. Your LinearLayout should appear as such:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="5">
<LinearLayout
android:background="#00f"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="4"/>
<LinearLayout
android:background="#f00"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I notice that the drawers within the Google applications are scrollable, but I cannot for some reason come to the conclusion of how to achieve a scrollable DrawerLayout. I attempted to construct the layout file with the following design paradigm.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".mainScreen">
<!-- Layout of Activity -->
</FrameLayout>
<!-- DrawerLayout segment -->
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#77000000">
<!-- Layout of Drawer -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
But, with or without the ScrollView, the drawer just cuts items off at the bottom when they go beyond the end of the screen. I can't get any form of scrolling enabled. Not sure what I am missing or need to enable. Thoughts would be appreciated.
The LinearLayout in the DrawerLayout segment contains different styled views. One view displays title only with a divider below it, one displays an imageview with text next to it and another displays a title with a switch built into the row. So, multiple styled views need to be accounted for if done outside of XML coded layout files.
While using a ListView is a valid option, it was useful for me to attempt and resolve the situation for which I already had such a large XML file constructed for my layout in between the ScrollView above. As it turned out, there were only a few small modifications needed in order to get it working as intended. The latest layout file constructed is the following:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".mainScreen">
<!-- Layout of Activity -->
</FrameLayout>
<!-- DrawerLayout segment -->
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#77000000">
<!-- Layout of Drawer -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The main modifications required me to alter where the gravity and the margin existed. The gravity needed to be in the surrounding ScrollView otherwise it would cause odd behavior that didn't scroll or actually crashed in some instances apparently. Then the inner layout needed to be changed to 'wrap content'.
If the margin was not moved into the ScrollView as well, it apparently doesn't scroll down to the bottom. It left a margin of scroll unscrolled at the bottom. Once this was resolved, the DrawerLayout worked as was expected at this point. The ListView option also proposed is another approach to be used, but as mentioned at this point it was worth me analyzing it a bit further to re-use the code that I already had written; especially with several different custom views that would need to be handled inside the view.
It seems that it only works properly with a ListView. You will take less time to migrate to ListView than trying to make the ScrollView to work.
You should use a listview along with the frame layout. Something like this :
<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">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="180dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
You can also refer to the Navigation Drawer documentation at developer.android.com. It has everything you will need.
