I followed http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2014/10/appcompat-v21-material-design-for-pre.html to use the toolbar, without fragment, it works perfectly, but when I use fragment, the fragment always overlays the content, and I cannot see toolbar when displaying fragment.
screen:
and when I starts another activity from the current one, the icon of the toolbar in the new activity doesn't show up. screen:
I use Android Support Library 21.0.3.
and the code in the MainActivity class:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
mLeftDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout);
mNavigationDrawerAdapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>( MyActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, data);
mLeftDrawerList.setAdapter(mNavigationDrawerAdapter);
if (mToolbar != null) {
mToolbar.setTitle("Home");
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
}
initDrawer();
final FragmentManager fragementMgr = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fragementMgr.beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, new MyFragment());
transaction.commit();
}
the layout xml:

can anyone help me out? thanks a lot!
Update: I updated the code and layout of the main activity according to reply from m iav.
new screen is blank now with the changes:
toolbar is a view in your layout , you can see it like textview ,now it is a textview overlay your fragment ,you use attrbibu to below it
so finally after checking the sample: MaterialEverywhere, I came with the solution with updating the layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- activity view -->
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_below="#id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- navigation drawer -->
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_gravity="left|start"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:divider="#eee"
android:background="#fff"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
the trick is the parent layout of the toolbar and the content frame. Instead of LinearLayout, I use RelativeLayout. and it works now as expected.
anyway, I found such change from the SDK is over complex, with so many changes, and each can cause issues. It will be much better for the developers to have clean APIs with less all these tweaks.
This should be your main layout.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- activity view -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- navigation drawer -->
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_gravity="left|start"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:divider="#eee"
android:background="#fff"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
And this should be your call to the new fragment:
transaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, new MyFragment())
transaction.commit();
Regarding your second question, a navigation drawer can't be shared among different activities. You have to use a new Fragment and keep the same Activity you're working in now.

I need my app to have bottom bar navigation and swipable tabs. so I need viewpager to swap between fragments nested inside each fragment that is used by the bottom navigation. how do I do this?
First, you create a Fragment that contains ViewPager and TabLayout like this
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".FragmentThatHasViewPagerAndTabLayout">
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/viewPager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
Then create a Activity which includes FrameLayout (that will be used as fragment container) and BottomNavigation
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
app:itemIconTint="#FFF"
app:itemTextColor="#FFF"
app:menu="#menu/menu_bottom_navigation"/>
</LinearLayout>
Snippet code for Activity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation_view);
bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
//Change fragment when select another item in BottomNavigation
}
}
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container, new FragmentThatHasViewPagerAndTabLayout(), "TAG_TO_REUSE_FRAGMENT_AFTER_CONFIG_CHANGES").commit();
}
And code in Fragment that contains ViewPager and TabLayout, you just write it like normally do (like having a FragmentPagerAdapter, etc.)
I created a NavDrawer Activity with the assistant rather with the tutorial.
Now when I want to open a new fragment it does not replace the main content but prepends it. The textfield should disappear.
I guess I am trying to replace the wrong container. But why is it the wrong one and which is the correct one

public class ReadActivity extends AppCompatActivity

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//more code...
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.nav_read) {
// Handle the camera action
} else if (id == R.id.nav_settings) {
//the probably wrong
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.content, new SettingFragment)
.commit();
} else {
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;

I hope I didn't append too much code :)
Everything is ok with your code, preferences screen is just drawing on top of your old layout.
The solution for this is:
In your content_read
Swap RelativeLayout (this is not necessary, you can just add new framelayout as child to the relative layout) with FrameLayout which will be your holder for fragments
Should look something like this>
content_read.xml
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/container"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="202dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="JUST A RANDOM TEXT INSIDE CONTAINER WHICH WILL BE REPLACED BY SETTINGS FRAGMENT"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"/>
</FrameLayout>
Note the FrameLayout has the id of R.id.container
Next Create settings_screen_layout which should look something like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Note that you need a listview with the "#android:id/list" which will act as container for your preferences
In your SettingFragment Override onCreateView like this
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.prefrences);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.preference_screen_layout, container, false);
return view;
}
and do the transaction
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, new SettingFragment)
.commit();
I'm using android's new BottomSheet inside Design Library.
Problem is that I'm using it inside a Fragment and It cause that it appear at top of screen instead of appearing at bottom.
This is my Activity xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="ir.aidinsoft.quicktaxi.MainActivity">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/tlbr_acMain"
android:elevation="5dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="#+id/crdl_acMain"
android:layout_below="#+id/tlbr_acMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:id="#+id/nscv_acMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- This Layout Is Replacement Layout For Fragment -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/frml_acMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
And This Is My Fragment xml:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="ir.aidinsoft.quicktaxi.MyFragment">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<io.codetail.widget.RevealFrameLayout
android:id="#+id/rvfl_frTaxi"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:visibility="invisible">
<fragment
android:id="#+id/frag_frTaxi_map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</io.codetail.widget.RevealFrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/facb_frTaxi_request"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<!-- My Bottom Sheet Layout -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frml_frTaxi_bottomSheet"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="360dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimaryLight"
app:behavior_hideable="true"
app:layout_behavior="android.support.design.widget.BottomSheetBehavior" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
So after Replacing Fragment in Layout with this code:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frml_acMain, taxiFragment).commit();
I adde this code to reveal BottomSheet on FAB clicked state.
Java Code for Fragment:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
fab = (FloatingActionButton) view.findViewById(R.id.facb_frTaxi_request);
bottomSheet = view.findViewById(R.id.frml_frTaxi_bottomSheet);
BottomSheetBehavior bottomSheetBehavior = BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheet);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
bottomSheetBehavior.setState(BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_EXPANDED);
}
});
}
What is the problem? what I'm doing wrong?
TnQ
If you are using animateLayoutChanges inside your layout, removing it can fix your problem.
I want to change the app I have created so far, in order to implement a ListView. I followed this example and this example. The examples alone work, but not together with the changes I had to make to my so-far existing app.
I have a avticity_main.xml defined as follows:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/main_grid"
android:useDefaultMargins="true"
android:alignmentMode="alignBounds"
android:columnOrderPreserved="false"
android:columnCount="4"
>
<TextView
android:text="MainTitle"
android:textSize="32dip"
android:layout_columnSpan="4"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
and I have the following code for my main activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
static final String[] MOBILE_OS =
new String[] { "Android", "iOS", "WindowsMobile", "Blackberry"};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
list.setAdapter(new ListAdapter(this, MOBILE_OS));
The code compiles fine, but no list is shown.
ListActivity is a "convenience" class to implement a simple ListView. And that's pretty much all you can do. So, there's no setSupportActionBar(Toolbar) there.
To achieve what you want, use AppCompatActivity or default Activity.
This link provides a nice tutorial on how to use the new ToolBar instead of the old ActionBar.
You want something like this:
This layout example could be used:
P.S.: "#color/primary" could be any color like #FF009688.
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#color/primary"
android:elevation="4dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"
android:id="#+id/lv"></ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
And on the Java side:
YourActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
private ListView lv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
if (actionBar != null) {
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu_white_24dp);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
// Populate the ListView here...
}
}
EDIT: This other answer of mine can show you how to create a Custom Adapter to display the data you want on the ListView.
Second edit: Use this layout
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/main_grid"
android:useDefaultMargins="true"
android:alignmentMode="alignBounds"
android:columnOrderPreserved="false"
android:columnCount="4"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:text="MainTitle"
android:textSize="32dip"
android:layout_columnSpan="4"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
What did I do?
Your LinearLayout was lacking the orientation parameter on the XML, and your TextView had a android:layout_height set to match_parent, so it was filling the entire layout. I've changed it to wrap_content and you're good to go.
setSupportActionBar(toolbar) is not available in ListActivity. You can use AppCompatActivity instead and just get a reference to the listview:
ListView list = findViewById(R.id.list); and use list.setAdapter(adapter) instead of setListAdapter(adapter);
You can't do that in ListActivity.
If you want to access getSupportActionBar(), you need to extent your class by AppCompatActivity.
My Suggestion : Don`t use ListActivty is you want to use ToolBar. Create an Activity and then only have ListView within that Activity. It'll work just fine.
OR
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_awesome_toolbar);
// Set an OnMenuItemClickListener to handle menu item clicks
toolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new Toolbar.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
// Handle the menu item
return true;
}
});
// Inflate a menu to be displayed in the toolbar
toolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.your_toolbar_menu);
}`
You can use the new AppCompatDelegate component provided by the Support Library to easily add a Toolbar to your ListActivity.

i am trying to add on click listener in a listview but when clicked, no action. can you help me find what i did wrong?
This is adapted from one of the example in android tutorial
public class Main extends Activity {
private ListView menuListView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
//getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main,menu);
//Get the Menu List from resources
menu = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menu);
//get the drawer Layout
menuDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ArrayAdapter<String> itemAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.custom_menu_list,menu);
//get the list view
menuListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
menuListView.setAdapter(itemAdapter);
menuListView.setOnItemClickListener(new menuItemClickListener());
}
private class menuItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener{
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Log.d("Check","clicked");
}
}
}//
}
This is the xml of the listview textview
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="6dip"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
/>
This is the main xml
<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"
android:background="#FFFFFF">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"/>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#000000"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/toastMsg"
android:text="Hello"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Modify you're main.xml file, remove the TextView and run the code. It works
<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"
android:background="#FFFFFF">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"/>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
