I am trying to create a search interface. I have searched a lot and created xml folder in my res folder manually and placed searchable.xml file inside res/xml.
Now when i am trying to add this file in AndroidManifest.xml with code
It is showing me error with red-line under "#xml/searchable" and saying "Top level Element is not completed". How to fix it?
That is part of a Navigation Drawer flow, (it isn't a menu and doesn't drop down).
As terrible as link only answers are, it's the only option here as I can't possibly cover it with the depth the developer docs do: https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html

I need a navigation bar that doesn't slideIn above the current view (the usual overlapping stype), instead it should be as in new ebay app (as if scrolling the wallpaper in homescreen with more than one page). Is it possible to add this effect to material-design-navigation-view? How do I do it?
You can use Sliding Menu Library for your requirement. Here is the link to that library
Sliding Menu Library
And if you are using Android Studio then see this link to add it in your project
Importing in Android Studio
There is no default way to really do this. However, this thread of StackOverflow will help you: push activity on the right when open drawer
Another GitHub library that may suit your need is: Material Drawer. You can download the demo on Google Play Store (same name). A similar approach is the Persistent Header Drawer
I have made my navigation drawer and it is working all fine , it is according to new design rules. but now I have a problem and after a couple of search I have found no note over it so far. So I end up with asking question here.
What I have done so far is some thing like
the picture shows you the demo , How ever I have made some thing like this its just the demo to give you people hint about what is header in the navigation drawer and where my menu items list lies
You can clearly see that there is a header in the navigation drawer and the menu item list beneath it .
Problem 1
now do to some reasons I have deleted the header , but my menu Items goes upwards to the top starting point. I know I can give margin up , but this is not the good way
Is there any good way I can just centralized them vertically ? I am wondering How to do it , Please Help me .
and Problem 2 is , I want to minimize the distance and margin between the menu items and menu icons in navigation drawer How to do this. I have not seen any of the discussion over it.
Please help me in solving both problems.
On screenshot you attached to your question, the navigation drawer doesn't look fine and according to the new desing rules :-/
Just have a look at the official guide: https://www.google.com/design/spec/patterns/navigation-drawer.html
Luckly for you nowdays we are provided by Google with Android Design Support Library that helps us with creating Navigation View (that replaces Navigation Drawer)
Here are links for you:
official documentation, always a good read: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/NavigationView.html
nicely written blog post about Navigation View: http://antonioleiva.com/navigation-view/
and last but not least, sample app using new Android Design Library: https://github.com/antoniolg/MaterializeYourApp
I know it's not the answer you were looking for, like "just change true to false in the line number 10" but stay assured that using official Navigation View is a way to go in modern Android world.
You can use the new NavigationView from the Android Design Support Library in making your navigation drawer. NavigationView make s creating material design-compliant navigation drawer.
You can read about it at http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html
Read these three articles
Take a look at this code
Use the design support library
I am using SimonVT's MenuDrawer library (https://github.com/SimonVT/android-menudrawer) and have followed his Fragments sample in his code. Everything is working great, however in the fragments sample the menu appears on the entire left side of the screen (top to bottom) which goes thru/over the ActionBar. I am looking to have the Menu Drawer appear below the ActionBar at all times so the ActionBar stays in place. I have tried both properties OVERLAY and BEHIND but both take over the entire left side of the screen.
This is NOT what I want - http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m91/saucergumshoe/MenuDrawerFragmentExampleMenuOverActionBar_zpsda4664f1.jpg
This is what I want, you can see the menu is below the ActionBar - http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m91/saucergumshoe/MenuDrawerLeftOverlayExampleMenuUnderActionBar_zps7a20baa9.jpg
I am fairly new to Android so maybe I am making a silly mistake?
Here are the main settings on the Drawer:
mMenuDrawer = MenuDrawer.attach(this, MenuDrawer.Type.OVERLAY, getDrawerPosition(), getDragMode());
mMenuDrawer.setTouchMode(MenuDrawer.TOUCH_MODE_FULLSCREEN);
mMenuDrawer.setSlideDrawable(R.drawable.ic_drawer);
mMenuDrawer.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
Set the drag mode to MENU_DRAG_CONTENT
mMenuDrawer = MenuDrawer.attach(this, MenuDrawer.Type.OVERLAY, getDrawerPosition(), MenuDrawer.MENU_DRAG_CONTENT);
What I can suggest you, is to use the official NavigationDrawer from Google as explained at https://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation-drawer.html.
There's also a link to a tutorial with sample code: https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html.
You can follow it to understand how to create a correct drawer and you can also download the source code as well.
This is the official component provided by Google and it behaves exactly as you asked in your question and like all the Google apps (and many others).
How to implement android navigation drawer like this?
TopLevelView1 ~ TopLevelView4 can select and no children
TopVevelView5 can collaspe
My question is that if my group structure like this for example
All
Stared
Category
----mp3
----txt
----doc
----pdf
when I select all then show all file.
when I select stared then show stared file only.
when I select mp3 then show only mp3 files.
and Category can expand and collapse.
For navigation:
Alternative 1:
Sliding Menu, which I would definitely go with. Even used by popular application like LinkedIn and Foursquare and easy to implement and use. Full explanation and example source codes: SlidingMenu - GitHub
Alternative 2:
Android Navigation Drawer. If you want to fully customise everything yourself without using any libraries, this is your option. You can check codes and how to do it from Android Developers website: Creating a Navigation Drawer
View inside your navigation drawer / sliding menu:
Alternative 1:
Android default ExpandableListView. Links: Android Developers , androidhive
Alternative 2:
AnimatedExpandableListView, which is implemented from ExpandableListView, but when an item is clicked, the expand is done with a smooth animation which you may prefer to use for a better look. AnimatedExpandableListView
I want to put settings in left side of screen.
There will be switcher, listviews and textviews.
In result I need like this example:
Is it possible and how I can start with?
You can use Sliding Menu Library to give such effect...
You can get the code from here.
You can also refer this link.
It's possible, and you can implement it using the Navigation Drawer which comes with android support library.
You must check out the Ribbon Menu
1) What's the Purpose
Ease of Access: Allow easy access to a menu that slides in and out
Ease of Implementation: Update the same screen using minimal amount of code
Independency: Does not require support libraries such as ActionBarSherlock
Customization: Easy to change colors and menus
2)What's New
Changed the sliding animation to match Facebook and Google+ apps
Added standard ActionBar (you can chose to use ActionBarSherlock)
Used menuitem to open the Menu
Added ability to update ListView on main Activity
Added 2 ListViews to the Menu, similiar to Facebook and Google+ apps
Added a AutoCompleteTextView and a Button as well to show examples of implemenation
Added method to allow users to hit the 'back button' to hide the menu when it is open
Allows users to interact with background(main ListView) and the menu at the same time unlike the Facebook and Google+ apps!
OR
You can also try out with Sliding Menu
You have to add one library file slider.jar into your project and follow this example for the same :
