Android navigation drawer (when clicked) is triggering my OnItemSelectedListener for a spinner in my toolbar

I currently have a Fragment hosted by an activity (which extends AppCompatActivity) layout. This parent activity sets a Navigation Drawer. The activity layout has a Toolbar which hosts a Spinner from the Fragment, which is created (inflated) via the Fragments onCreateOptionsMenu method.
In the onCreateOptionsMenu, I set an OnItemSelectedListener to the spinner which handles the selected value (which then updates the fragment). The problem I am facing though, is in the fragment (or perhaps the activity?): When I click the Navigation Drawer (toggle icon), this invokes the OnItemSelectedListener, which is not what I want. The code is working well handling the spinner in the menu, but I want to remove the OnItemSelectedListener response to the Navigation Drawer being clicked (it is currently creating a FragmentTransaction from the aforementioned OnItemSelectedListener method). The listener is even being triggered when I swipe in the Navigation Drawer and not even clicking the drawer toggle.
Activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView,
View view, int position, long l) {
// Code to run when the item gets clicked
selectItem(position);
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
titles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.titles);
drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
// Populate the list view
drawers = new Drawer["A", "B", "C"]
drawerList.setAdapter(new DrawerAdapter(this, R.layout.list_view_drawer, drawers));
drawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
// Display the correct fragment
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
currentPosition = savedInstanceState.getInt("position");
//setActionBarTitle(currentPosition);
} else {
selectItem(0);
}
// Create the ActionBarDrawerToggle
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout,
R.string.open_drawer, R.string.close_drawer) {
// Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed stated
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
// Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
}
}
Fragment:
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.spinner_menu, menu);
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.spinner);
spinner = (Spinner) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(item);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String
(getActivity(), R.layout.spinner, spinnerTitle);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener()
{
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id)
{
if (setNavigation) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Item : " + position,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Fragment fragment;
if (position != 0) {
fragment = ExampleFragment.newInstance();
} else {
fragment = new ExampleFragment();
}
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment, "visible_fragment");
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
ft.commit();
} else {
setNavigation = !setNavigation;
}
}// to close the onItemSelected
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent)
{
}
});
}
Inflate Menu XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:title="ActionBar Spinner"
app:actionViewClass="android.widget.Spinner"
android:background="#ff00"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>

The onDrawerOpened() and onDrawerClosed() overrides on the ActionBarDrawerToggle are calling invalidateOptionsMenu(), which is recreating the options menu, and firing your Spinner's OnItemSelectedListener each time the drawer opens or closes. It looks like you've got a boolean flag setup to ignore the listener firing immediately after the Spinner initialization, but after that menu has been created the first time, the flag has already been set, and each time the menu is recreated after that, your FragmentTransaction is running.
You can simply remove those calls, as the menu creation is handled sufficiently during the FragmentTransactions. You'd only really need to invalidate the menu if something in it needs to change after it's already been created. If that's all you were using the ActionBarDrawerToggle overrides for, you can just remove those altogether.

AppCompat v7 Toolbar Up/Back Arrow Not Working

I have two fragments in an activity. When fragment A is showing, I want the navigation drawer burger icon to show and the navigation drawer to work. When fragment B is showing, I want the back arrow to show and when it's clicked do an up navigation. However, I can't seem to get the new AppCompat v7 toolbar to show the up arrow at all inside my ActionBarActivity unless the nav drawer is open.
In my activity, for my onCreate() method I have...
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
if (toolbar != null) {
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
And then I call mDrawerToggle.syncState(); in my onPostCreate()
I've tried searching on how to programatically trigger the toolbar icon to the back arrow but nothing has worked. From what I've gathered, calling
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
from my fragment should change the icon but that's not the case. This may be a stupid question, but what am I doing wrong?

From what I have seen in the source code of v7 ActionBarDrawerToggle, you can animate the icon to different states without having the drawer being opened.
private enum ActionDrawableState{
BURGER, ARROW
}
private static void toggleActionBarIcon(ActionDrawableState state, final ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle, boolean animate){
if(animate) {
float start = state == ActionDrawableState.BURGER ? 0f : 1.0f;
float end = Math.abs(start - 1);
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
ValueAnimator offsetAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(start, end);
offsetAnimator.setDuration(300);
offsetAnimator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
offsetAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
float offset = (Float) animation.getAnimatedValue();
toggle.onDrawerSlide(null, offset);
}
});
offsetAnimator.start();
}else{
//do the same with nine-old-androids lib :)
}
}else{
if(state == ActionDrawableState.BURGER){
toggle.onDrawerClosed(null);
}else{
toggle.onDrawerOpened(null);
}
}
}
Morphing between Burger and Arrow depends on values between 0f and 1.0f, basically these are values that the drawer passes to the ActionBarDrawerToggle.
I used ValueAnimator to animate values in this range, i.e mimicking the drawer toggling.
null arguments are safe because ActionBarDrawerToggle does not care at all about drawer views.
Make sure you take a look at new interpolators to do the animation fully-by-the-book of material design guidelines:
fast_out_linear_in
fast_out_slow_in
Another approach is to access mSlider private field of the ActionBarDrawer through reflection and call setPosition(float position) method to toggle between Burger and Arrow.
mSlider is of type (extends) DrawerArrowDrawable.
Personally, I always try to avoid reflection, as long as there is no other way to do your dirty work.

As Support Library updated to 23.0.0, there is a better way to play drawer-arrow animation. So I'm going to improve #Nikola's answer. Here's code:
public static void playDrawerToggleAnim(final DrawerArrowDrawable d) {
float start = d.getProgress();
float end = Math.abs(start - 1);
ValueAnimator offsetAnimator = ValueAnimator.ofFloat(start, end);
offsetAnimator.setDuration(300);
offsetAnimator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator());
offsetAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
float offset = (Float) animation.getAnimatedValue();
d.setProgress(offset);
}
});
offsetAnimator.start();
}
And call it whenever you want by:
playDrawerToggleAnim((DrawerArrowDrawable) toolbar.getNavigationIcon());

getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
int stackHeight = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (stackHeight > 0) { // if we have something on the stack (doesn't include the current shown fragment)
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
} else {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
}
}
});
After ...
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
return true;
....
}

In my case the icon is animating:
I have used ActionBarDrawerToggle v7.
MainActivity:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool1);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setTitle("ToolBar Demo");
toolbar.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, toolbar,
R.string.open_navigation_drawer,
R.string.close_navigation_drawer) {
#Override
public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView, float slideOffset) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDrawerSlide(drawerView, slideOffset);
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
#Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("hello");
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
#Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("hi");
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // <---- added
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // <---- added
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDrawerToggle.syncState(); // important statetment for drawer to
// identify
// its state
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { // <---- added
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(Gravity.START | Gravity.LEFT)) { // <----
// added
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
return;
}
super.onBackPressed();
}

Cannot catch toolbar home button click event

I've implemented the newest appcompat library and using the Toolbar as action bar. But the problem is I cannot catch the home button / hamburger icon click event. I've tried and looked everything but doesn't seem to find a similar problem.
This is my Activity class :
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Set up the drawer.
navDrawerFragment =
(NavigationDrawerFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
navDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout),
toolbar);
}
And this is my NavigationDrawerFragment class :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
currentSelectedPosition = savedInstanceState.getInt(
STATE_SELECTED_POSITION);
fromSavedInstanceState = true;
}
// Select either the default item (0) or the last selected item.
selectItem(currentSelectedPosition);
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
// Indicate that this fragment would like
// to influence the set of actions in the action bar.
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
drawerListView = (ListView) inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer, container, false);
drawerListView.setOnItemClickListener(
new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,
View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
});
//mDrawerListView.setAdapter();
//mDrawerListView.setItemChecked(mCurrentSelectedPosition, true);
return drawerListView;
}
public void setUp(int fragmentId, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, Toolbar toolbar) {
fragmentContainerView = getActivity().findViewById(fragmentId);
this.drawerLayout = drawerLayout;
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main
// content when the drawer opens
drawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(
R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
// set up the drawer's list view
// with items and click listener
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
// ActionBarDrawerToggle ties together the the proper interactions
// between the navigation drawer and the action bar app icon.
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
getActivity(),
drawerLayout,
toolbar,
R.string.navigation_drawer_open,
R.string.navigation_drawer_close) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
}
};
// If the user hasn't 'learned' about the drawer,
// open it to introduce them to the drawer,
// per the navigation drawer design guidelines.
if (!userLearnedDrawer && !fromSavedInstanceState) {
drawerLayout.openDrawer(fragmentContainerView);
}
// Defer code dependent on restoration of previous instance state.
drawerLayout.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
drawerToggle.syncState();
}
});
drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putInt(STATE_SELECTED_POSITION, currentSelectedPosition);
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
// Forward the new configuration the drawer toggle component.
drawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
Log.d("cek", "item selected");
if (drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
Log.d("cek", "home selected");
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
when I clicked a menu item, the log "item selected" gets called. But when I click on the home button, it opens navigation drawer but the log "home selected" never get called. I've set onOptionsItemSelected method inside my Activity as well, but it still doesn't get called.

If you want to know when home is clicked is an AppCompatActivity then you should try it like this:
First tell Android you want to use your Toolbar as your ActionBar:
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Then set Home to be displayed via setDisplayShowHomeEnabled like this:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
Finally listen for click events on android.R.id.home like usual:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
if (menuItem.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
Timber.d("Home pressed");
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(menuItem);
}
If you want to know when the navigation button is clicked on a Toolbar in a class other than AppCompatActivity you can use these methods to set a navigation icon and listen for click events on it. The navigation icon will appear on the left side of your Toolbar where the the "home" button used to be.
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_nav_back));
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d("cek", "home selected");
}
});
If you want to know when the hamburger is clicked and when the drawer opens, you're already listening for these events via onDrawerOpened and onDrawerClosed so you'll want to see if those callbacks fit your requirements.

mActionBarDrawerToggle = mNavigationDrawerFragment.getActionBarDrawerToggle();
mActionBarDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// event when click home button
}
});
in mycase this code work perfect

This is how I do it to return to the right fragment otherwise if you have several fragments on the same level it would return to the first one if you don´t override the toolbar back button behavior.
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
finish();
}
});

I think the correct solution with support library 21 is the following
// action_bar is def resource of appcompat;
// if you have not provided your own toolbar I mean
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.action_bar);
if (toolbar != null) {
// change home icon if you wish
toolbar.setLogo(this.getResValues().homeIconDrawable());
toolbar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//catch here title and home icon click
}
});
}

I have handled back and Home button in Navigation Drawer like
public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
private ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;
private DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
NavigationView navigationView;
private Context context;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
resetActionBar();
navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
//showing first fragment on Start
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN).replace(R.id.content_fragment, new FirstFragment()).commit();
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
//listener for home
if(id==android.R.id.home)
{
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
onBackPressed();
else
drawerLayout.openDrawer(navigationView);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (drawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START))
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
else
super.onBackPressed();
}
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Begin the transaction
Fragment fragment = null;
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if (id == R.id.nav_companies_list) {
fragment = new FirstFragment();
// Handle the action
}
// Begin the transaction
if(fragment!=null){
if(item.isChecked()){
if(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount()==0){
drawer.closeDrawers();
}else{
removeAllFragments();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE).replace(R.id.WikiCompany, fragment).commit();
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}
}else{
removeAllFragments();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE).replace(R.id.WikiCompany, fragment).commit();
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}
}
return true;
}
public void removeAllFragments(){
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate(null,
FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
}
public void replaceFragment(final Fragment fragment) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN)
.replace(R.id.WikiCompany, fragment).addToBackStack("")
.commit();
}
public void updateDrawerIcon() {
final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
Log.i("", "BackStackCount: " + getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount());
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
else
drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}, 50);
}
public void resetActionBar()
{
//display home
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
}
public void setActionBarTitle(String title) {
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(title);
}
}
and In each onViewCreated I call
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
((HomeActivity)getActivity()).updateDrawerIcon();
((HomeActivity) getActivity()).setActionBarTitle("List");
}

This is how I implemented it pre-material design and it seems to still work now I've switched to the new Toolbar. In my case I want to log the user in if they attempt to open the side nav while logged out, (and catch the event so the side nav won't open). In your case you could not return true;.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (!isLoggedIn() && item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
login();
return true;
}
return mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item) || super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

I changed the DrawerLayout a bit to get the events and be able to consume and event, such as if you want to use the actionToggle as back if you are in detail view:
public class ListenableDrawerLayout extends DrawerLayout {
private OnToggleButtonClickedListener mOnToggleButtonClickedListener;
private boolean mManualCall;
public ListenableDrawerLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public ListenableDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ListenableDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
/**
* Sets the listener for the toggle button
*
* #param mOnToggleButtonClickedListener
*/
public void setOnToggleButtonClickedListener(OnToggleButtonClickedListener mOnToggleButtonClickedListener) {
this.mOnToggleButtonClickedListener = mOnToggleButtonClickedListener;
}
/**
* Opens the navigation drawer manually from code<br>
* <b>NOTE: </b>Use this function instead of the normal openDrawer method
*
* #param drawerView
*/
public void openDrawerManual(View drawerView) {
mManualCall = true;
openDrawer(drawerView);
}
/**
* Closes the navigation drawer manually from code<br>
* <b>NOTE: </b>Use this function instead of the normal closeDrawer method
*
* #param drawerView
*/
public void closeDrawerManual(View drawerView) {
mManualCall = true;
closeDrawer(drawerView);
}
#Override
public void openDrawer(View drawerView) {
// Check for listener and for not manual open
if (!mManualCall && mOnToggleButtonClickedListener != null) {
// Notify the listener and behave on its reaction
if (mOnToggleButtonClickedListener.toggleOpenDrawer()) {
return;
}
}
// Manual call done
mManualCall = false;
// Let the drawer layout to its stuff
super.openDrawer(drawerView);
}
#Override
public void closeDrawer(View drawerView) {
// Check for listener and for not manual close
if (!mManualCall && mOnToggleButtonClickedListener != null) {
// Notify the listener and behave on its reaction
if (mOnToggleButtonClickedListener.toggleCloseDrawer()) {
return;
}
}
// Manual call done
mManualCall = false;
// Let the drawer layout to its stuff
super.closeDrawer(drawerView);
}
/**
* Interface for toggle button callbacks
*/
public static interface OnToggleButtonClickedListener {
/**
* The ActionBarDrawerToggle has been pressed in order to open the drawer
*
* #return true if we want to consume the event, false if we want the normal behaviour
*/
public boolean toggleOpenDrawer();
/**
* The ActionBarDrawerToggle has been pressed in order to close the drawer
*
* #return true if we want to consume the event, false if we want the normal behaviour
*/
public boolean toggleCloseDrawer();
}
}

The easiest approach we could do is change the home icon to a known icon and compare drawables (because android.R.id.home icon can differ to different api versions
so set a toolbar as actionbar
SetSupportActionBar(_toolbar);
_toolbar.NavigationIcon = your_known_drawable_here;
for (int i = 0; i < _toolbar.ChildCount; i++)
{
View v = _toolbar.GetChildAt(i);
if (v is ImageButton)
{
ImageButton imageButton = v as ImageButton;
if (imageButton.Drawable.GetConstantState().Equals(_bookMarkIcon.GetConstantState()))
{
//here v is the widget that contains the home icon you can add your click events here
}
}
}

In my case I had to put the icon using:
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_my_home);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
And then listen to click events with default onOptionsItemSelected and android.R.id.home id

For anyone looking for a Xamarin implementation (since events are done differently in C#), I simply created this NavClickHandler class as follows:
public class NavClickHandler : Java.Lang.Object, View.IOnClickListener
{
private Activity mActivity;
public NavClickHandler(Activity activity)
{
this.mActivity = activity;
}
public void OnClick(View v)
{
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout)mActivity.FindViewById(Resource.Id.drawer_layout);
if (drawer.IsDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.Start))
{
drawer.CloseDrawer(GravityCompat.Start);
}
else
{
drawer.OpenDrawer(GravityCompat.Start);
}
}
}
Then, assigned a custom hamburger menu button like this:
SupportActionBar.SetDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
SupportActionBar.SetDefaultDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
this.drawerToggle.DrawerIndicatorEnabled = false;
this.drawerToggle.SetHomeAsUpIndicator(Resource.Drawable.MenuButton);
And finally, assigned the drawer menu toggler a ToolbarNavigationClickListener of the class type I created earlier:
this.drawerToggle.ToolbarNavigationClickListener = new NavClickHandler(this);
And then you've got a custom menu button, with click events handled.

Try this code
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if(id == android.R.id.home){
//You can get
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Add below code to your onCreate() metod
ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

Apart from the answer provided by MrEngineer13, there is also another possible reason why the click event might not have been captured in the onOptionsSelected method. Your DrawerLayout may have overlayed your Toolbar's interface component in the layout XML file. Therefore, whenever you attempt to click the Home button, you're only clicking the DrawerLayout, but not the Home button that's located beneath it.
All you have to do now is rearrange your Toolbar in the corresponding layout XML file so that it is not blocked by any other UI component.
Programmatically, I did attempt to call the bringToFront() method on the toolbar (toolbar.bringToFront()). However, in my app's context, it does not seem to be the solution.

How do I change from one fragment or activity to another fragment or activity while using a NavigatorDrawer?

Sorry, but my question is more complex than what I have asked. I am new to Java and Android, and this whole NavigationDrawer thing is beating me down, but I am determined to figure it out. I downloaded the sample code from Android with nav drawer example, and I have deleted and added minor changes to fit preferences. Basically, using the code provided to me, I cannot figure out how to change to a different activity/fragment. Should I use another fragment like the example has shown or do I need to create a new Java class that extends an intent and create the corresponding xml layout? Once that is determined, do I create a switch case in the fragment class that was created to cycle through its corresponding fragment/activity? Or do I place a switch case in the selectItem() method? I have been working on this same problem for 8 days now and have finally decided to ask for help after exhausting all of my resources. Thanks for any help. Again, I'm not looking for someone to code for me, I only need help in understanding the questions I have asked and where my code will need to be placed.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
private String[] choices;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
choices = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.choices_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer opens
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);

Looking at the code you posted (I can't compile it and try it now), I believe the intention of the sample is to use fragment when a choice is selected on the navigation drawer. Then you would put a case statement in selectItem() to determine which fragment should be shown.
So for example, if you have two choices (say "Show Red Colour" and "Show Blue Colour"), you would create a "RedFragment" class extending "ChoicesFragment", and a "BlueFragment" class extending "ChoicesFragment". Each of them would use their own XML layout. You can then create a fragment object (say "redFragment" and "blueFragment") for each of them in the onCreate() method.
Then, in the selectItem() method, you have a if/case statement to say if position is 0, then you would show the red fragment with:
...
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, redFragment).commit();
...
and similarly for blue fragment.
HTH.

Looks like you have some problem understanding abstraction levels and i will try to help with that.
Activities are entry points for your app, top level. The best approach is to use fragments and not activites, since fragments are at a lower level of abstraction, fragments are just pieces of activities.
Build all of your views in fragments and then put them on an activity, unless you really need a bigger level of abstraction depending on what your application does.
I do not see the need to create a class extending intent, etc. etc.
what i would is to add the navigation drawer as a fragment and put it in an activity, and the rest of the app should be fragments as well handled by the navigation drawer.
Or the navigation drawer can be part of the activity and the rest of the views fragments that depend from this activity.
Hope this helps to clear your mind.. sorry for not sharing code.. good luck

Navigation Drawer with Activities - Basic Concept

I have one basic question that I couldn't get hold in last couple of days (even after many example/explanation in googling and SOing).
I have 5 different Activity , each activity is independent of others, and each activity has it’s own layout file. Now, I want to add Navigation Drawer as my App Menu.
What i understand, 2 recommended ways are:
1) To merge those 5 activities into one MainActivity, and use 5 fragments to load 5 different layout. But it will be a hard for me to merge those 5 into 1. And won't there be any performance issue if I have all methods loaded in one Activity?
2) To have one BaseActivity containing drawer, and extend all other activity to Base Activity. But I have all my Activities extended to NavDrawer class (which contains drawer), but not working. Individually drawer is working fine (when I run NavDrawer only). Do I need to make any change to the layout xmls of my existing activities?
I am sorry if this is pretty much basic, but I am posting this after I failed to get hold the concept in 2 days!
I can attach my code if you want, but the drawer code is sort of basic thing, as per tutorial.
Thanks,

I can suggest you to use ViewPager with actionbar tabs. Because with the help of viewpager, the same navigation draawer is visible for all the five fragments. Coming to the efficiency, ViewPager creates current page, besides it always prepares your next and previous pages also. So that it can be bit fast in showing the content while the user swipes pages. I always follow the same and I don't think it's inefficient.
Code snippet of one of my applications is below:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
String[] titles;
ViewPager viewPager;
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
private String[] mListTitles;
public PagerTabStrip titleStrip;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
TitleAdapter titleAdapter = new TitleAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
viewPager.setAdapter(titleAdapter);
viewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mListTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.drawerlist_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
// sets up the drawer's list view with items and click listener
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.drawer_list_item, mListTitles));
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
// enables ActionBar app icon to behave as action to toggle nav drawer
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, /* host Activity */
mDrawerLayout, /* DrawerLayout object */
R.drawable.ic_drawer, /* nav drawer image to replace 'Up' caret */
R.string.drawer_open, /* "open drawer" description for accessibility */
R.string.drawer_close /* "close drawer" description for accessibility */
)
{
public void onDrawerClosed(View view)
{
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}

{

#Override

// ActionBarDrawerToggle will take care of this.
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item))
{
return true;
