How to make a Navigation Drawer with these functionalities in Android?

I want to implement an Android app which measures someone's performances in sport activities.
The problem which I have is that I must implement a sliding menu from the left side of the screen, where one can change the account on which the performances must be registered.
I don't know how to make the part which is show in this picture.
One can add a new user by clicking on add new user button, can edit the account by clicking on the pen, and switch to other account by clicking on it when it is inactive.
I've searched for info about how to do this but I didn't find anything related to this.
This is how my app must look:
Does anyone have an idea about how to do this or something similar to my issue?

You have to Go for Sliding menu lib.
you can use android DrawerLayout.
Please take look.

There is Suggestion of design for NavigationDrawer..............
This could help you to Create Layout like that...
First Create Navigation Drawer form Here : Creating a Navigation Drawer
and then change some code in Drawelayout.xml(which contains nav. drawer)
navDrawer.xml
<?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/com.equest.cwely.act"
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" >
</FrameLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#color/actionbar_bg"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<include
android:id="#+id/nav_list_header"
layout="#layout/nav_profile" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/drawer_list"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#55ffffff"
android:dividerHeight="0.5dp"
android:listSelector="#drawable/list_selector" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Here,
<include/> : I have created one layout and added it into navDrawerLayout file...
<ListView/> : second Layout...........

Frame Layout fades away when opening navigation drawer

I am developing a mobile app in android for listing the most recent news. I have implemented the navigation drawer to select the categories. For this I have used fragments and frame layout. When I open navigation drawer the layout in the background seem to fade away or the screen brightennes gets darker.
Is there a way to make me possible to open the navigation drawer without fading away the frame layout.(in xml file or programatically)
I cant post pictures ( because of my low reputation number) but if it helps below is my xml file.
<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 to display Fragments -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</FrameLayout>
<!-- Listview to display slider menu -->
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_slidermenu"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#color/time_al_blue"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:listSelector="#drawable/list_selector"
android:paddingTop="15dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

That shadow is called the scrim color.
You want to make it transparent, so your content is not obscured, i.e.
mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

If you want to do that it would be best if you use Sliding Menu from Jeremy Feinstein
Here you can find an implementation of his library and if you like this solution you can use it to replace navigation drawer.

Navigation drawer like Google+

How can I create a navigation drawer like Google+ where there is a header for user profile info and a listview below?
I have the following code in my Activity:
<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="com.br.app.MainActivity">
<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:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.br.app.NavigationDrawerFragment" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Currently, the NavigationDrawerFragment contains just a listview, but I tried to add a RelativeLayout as a container with an inner RelativeLayout to create the profile area and the listview below, but the app is crashing.
I've read the tutorial from but as I could understand, my header would be an item of the listview, and it won't be fixed on top (without scrolling).
How can I create this custom navigation drawer like Google+?

Actually, there are two version of navigation drawer used by google.
the first is the old navigation drawer BELOW the action bar. It is used in Google Play Store and Google Books for example.
HERE you can find a library that implements it.
The second is the new navigation drawer that is showed in Material Design guidelines where the drawer is over the action bar.
HERE you can find a library that implements it.
Actually these two libraries are in developing. But they are almost usable at this time.

You can easily customize the android Navigation drawer once you know how its implemented. here is a nice tutorial where you can set it up.
This will be the structure of your mainXML:
<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 to display Fragments -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- Listview to display slider menu -->
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_slidermenu"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#color/list_divider"
android:dividerHeight="1dp"
android:listSelector="#drawable/list_selector"
android:background="#color/list_background"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

DrawerLayout Not Scrolling

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.

How to add two fragments together in a frameLayout in runtime

I am developing an andorid application with navigation drawer and I have a layout for contentview 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">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:background="#color/default_color"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
So I can add and replace fragment on navigation drawer item click. Everything okay till now.
But in one case, on clicking an item on navigation drawer I need to show two fragments instead of one ( just like a listFragment and details fragment ). How can I do it? Should I add two fragments into the framelayout then? But how? or should I change the contentView with different drawerLayout ? If yes, how can I do this?

You may just use nested fragments. Create another fragment that will dynamically create both your fragments and add them to its layout.
