I have a view layout containing a ListView and a Button:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#5434"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:id="#+id/itemlistView" tools:ignore="ObsoleteLayoutParam"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
tools:ignore="ObsoleteLayoutParam">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button"
android:text="#string/new_item"
android:id="#+id/listview_addDebtButton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
tools:ignore="ObsoleteLayoutParam"/>
</LinearLayout>
but now i want to add a Navigation Drawer. Using the sample code from google developers. But am not sure how to do this since the sample code contains an empty content view:
<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
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- 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.
The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. A solid background is used for contrast
with the content view. -->
<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"/>
I however proceeded to try with this as my new layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:id="#+id/itemlistView" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button"
android:text="#string/new_item"
android:id="#+id/listview_addDebtButton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
<!-- 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_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
This fails woefully when I try to run the app and i get a android.view.InflateException with the error message:
error inflating class DrawerLayout. Am not sure how to proceed from here. "There is a similar question that asks "How do I add navigation drawer to my existing code?" but this problem is way too complicated than mine and I can't apply the solutions to my problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Try like this:
According to docs: Drawer Layout tooks two direct children
Inside the DrawerLayout, add one view that contains the main content
for the screen (your primary layout when the drawer is hidden) and
another view that contains the contents of the navigation drawer.
From that reference I used one for FrameLayout and another one for ListView.

I implemented a Navigation Drawer as explained here https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
I inserted the DrawerLayout xml code snippet just below the tag and above the others app views.
At runtime when open the Navigation Drawer the behind view is still clickable and I cant use the Navigation Drawer
I think I've to adjust the xml layout but I don't know how..

can anyone help me??
The order of how you define things in the xml decide how they appear on the screen, also determines which view appears above or below which other view. For a Nav Drawer, The layout should be something like this :
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:font="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.teewe.client"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<!-- This LinearLayout is the layout for your activity. Replace with FrameLayout -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/white"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="#dimen/padding_from_screen_edges" >
</LinearLayout>
<!--The last view that you include, shows up in your drawer. In this case, everything inside this RelativeLayout shows up in the drawer. -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerRelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#fff" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/nowPlayingLayout"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#color/light_gray"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
here is my xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
I wrote the programmatic part of it and the Drawer works just fine, it's just that I cannot click the ImageButtons behind it. If I put the buttons in front I am able to click them but well, then the drawer is left behind and that's a terrible sight. What is the work-around for this? How can I both click the buttons behind the Drawer and see the Drawer in the front?
Thanks in advance.
According to the Navigation Drawer guide the DrawerLayout should be the root of your layout. It should have only 2 children - one that contains your "main content" - buttons, text fields, etc. And the other one should be the content of the drawer itself. Something like this:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
<RelativeLayout>
<Button/>
<EditText/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView android:id="#+id/drawer_list" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
In addition:
The order of the 2 children is important due to the Z-order of the DrawerLayout (which is a ViewGroup). The list view should be declared after your main content so that it's ordered(and displayed) in front of it.
I have a layout called footer.xml which later will be included to multiple layouts. Footer.xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/bottomMenu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/bg_gradation"
android:weightSum="1" >
*** STUFF GOES HERE ***
</LinearLayout>
Footer.xml will then be included in other layout as follows..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- A DrawerLayout is intended to be used as the top-level content view using match_parent for both width and height to consume the full space available. -->

Since i want footer.xml be at the bottom screen, i use android:layout_gravity="bottom" this renders properly if seen from the perspective of footer.xml
However, when i try to see it from other layouts it throws error that says:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException (Error Log does not show helpful information at all).
EDIT 1
This is the best error message i could get.. (i cannot copy-paste the log text)
EDIT 2
IF i include my layout this way:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<include layout="#layout/footer"
android:id="#+id/footer"/>
</LinearLayout>
It renders the way i want it inside eclipse editor. However, when i try to run it on Android i get the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Child android.widget.LinearLayout{a72d4938 V.E..... ......ID 0,0-0,0 #7f0a005c app:id/bottomMenu} at index 1 does not have a valid layout_gravity - must be Gravity.LEFT, Gravity.RIGHT or Gravity.NO_GRAVITY
and if i editted my footer.xml to this:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/bottomMenu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" <---- not android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#drawable/bg_gradation"
android:weightSum="1" >
my footer would fill up the entire screen from top to bottom.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks..
Put you linearLayout and footer inside relative layout
<include

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
layout="#layout/activity_main" />

I've been trying to make a DrawerLayout that has a ViewPager and a LinearLayout attached to the bottom of the DrawerLayout. The problem is that the ViewPager and LinearLayout are overlapping at the top of the view, and all my efforts to move the LinearLayout down have failed so far.
The XML Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewpager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" >
<android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip
android:id="#+id/tabstrip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_below="#id/base_activity_viewpager"
android:orientation="vertical" >

</LinearLayout>
<!-- Naviagtion drawer -->

android:background="#111"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I've tried adding several things to linear_layout:
android:layout_gravity="bottom" (causes an IllegalStateException)
android:layout_below="#id/viewpager"
android:layout_alignparentbottom="true"
But all of these values seem to be ignored, even changing android:layout_width of the LinearLayout is ignored. I think i'm overlooking something obvious but if anyone has suggestions on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
A drawerlayout is allowed only 2 children, the first is a main content view, the second is the drawer. You need to combine your first two views into a linear layout. http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
