I am using a single activity and multiple fragments(screenshot attached) within the same activity to provide a seamless navigation. But after implementing the latest toolbar and navigation view, it seems hard to handle the navigation and home buttons. I am having trouble with the following things.
Managing the Hamburger/Back button at left top. Toggling the icon and functionality to Menu and Back nav.
Page title - Changing the page titles whenever a fragment in pushed and popped.
I have tried several things like overriding onBackPressed(), setHomeAsUpIndicator, popping fragments manually. Earlier i was using ActionBarDrawer toggle to handle this but it is failing somehow now. I checked the google samples they seem to use separate activities at most of the places.
Can anyone guide me how to implement a proper back navigation to handle the NavigationView, Back button in inner fragments and page titles? I am using AppCompatActivity, android.app.Fragment, NavigationView and Toolbar.
It's much easier to illustrate with some sort of division of responsibility for your Activity and Fragment.
Problem 1: Managing the Hamburger/Back button at left top. Toggling the icon and functionality to Menu and Back nav.
From the illustration, the solution should be encapsulated by the Activity, which will look something like this:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private DrawerLayout mDrawer;
private ActionBar mActionBar;
private boolean mToolBarNavigationListenerIsRegistered = false;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
mDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
mDrawer.addDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
// On orientation change savedInstanceState will not be null.
// Use this to show hamburger or up icon based on fragment back stack.
if(savedInstanceState != null){
resolveUpButtonWithFragmentStack();
} else {
// You probably want to add your ListFragment here.
}
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mDrawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
mDrawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
int backStackCount = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (backStackCount >= 1) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
// Change to hamburger icon if at bottom of stack
if(backStackCount == 1){
showUpButton(false);
}
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
} else if (id == android.R.id.home) {
// Home/Up logic handled by onBackPressed implementation
onBackPressed();
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#SuppressWarnings("StatementWithEmptyBody")
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
// Navigation drawer item selection logic goes here
mDrawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
private void replaceFragment() {
/**
* Your fragment replacement logic goes here
* e.g.
* FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
* String tag = "MyFragment";
* ft.replace(R.id.content, MyFragment.newInstance(tag), tag).addToBackStack(null).commit();
*/
// The part that changes the hamburger icon to the up icon
showUpButton(true);
}
private void resolveUpButtonWithFragmentStack() {
showUpButton(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0);
}
private void showUpButton(boolean show) {
// To keep states of ActionBar and ActionBarDrawerToggle synchronized,
// when you enable on one, you disable on the other.
// And as you may notice, the order for this operation is disable first, then enable - VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
if(show) {
// Remove hamburger
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
// Show back button
mActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
// when DrawerToggle is disabled i.e. setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false), navigation icon
// clicks are disabled i.e. the UP button will not work.
// We need to add a listener, as in below, so DrawerToggle will forward
// click events to this listener.
if(!mToolBarNavigationListenerIsRegistered) {
mDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onBackPressed();
}
});
mToolBarNavigationListenerIsRegistered = true;
}
} else {
// Remove back button
mActionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
// Show hamburger
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
// Remove the/any drawer toggle listener
mDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(null);
mToolBarNavigationListenerIsRegistered = false;
}
// So, one may think "Hmm why not simplify to:
// .....
// getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(enable);
// mDrawer.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(!enable);
// ......
// To re-iterate, the order in which you enable and disable views IS important #dontSimplify.
}
}
Problem 2: Page title - Changing the page titles whenever a fragment in pushed and popped.
Essentially, this can be handled in the onStart for each Fragment i.e. your ListFragment, DetailsFragment and CommentsFragment look something like this:
#Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// where mText is the title you want on your toolbar/actionBar
getActivity().setTitle(mText);
}
Probably worth having setRetainInstance(true) in the onCreate of your fragments as well.
tl;dr
Watch this:
https://youtu.be/ANpBWIT3vlU
Clone this:
https://github.com/shredderskelton/androidtemplate.
This is a really common problem and one that I've overcome by creating a kind of template project which I use whenever I start a new Android project. The idea is to abstract as much of the logic that handles the back button, the 'hamburger' indicator and fragment management into reusable classes:
Start by creating a BaseActivity and BaseFragment class. This is where you are going to as much of the reusable code as possible.
Lets start with your BaseActivity
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentHandler = new AddFragmentHandler(fragmentManager);
fragmentManager.addOnBackStackChangedListener(backStackListener);
}
The FragmentManager is the key to owning the back stack, so you need to listen for changes to the back stack from here. The AddFramentHandler is a little class I cooked up to make it easier to add Fragments, from Fragments. More on that later.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (sendBackPressToDrawer()) {
//the drawer consumed the backpress
return;
}
if (sendBackPressToFragmentOnTop()) {
// fragment on top consumed the back press
return;
}
//let the android system handle the back press, usually by popping the fragment
super.onBackPressed();
//close the activity if back is pressed on the root fragment
if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
finish();
}
}
onBackPressed is where most of the magic happens. You notice the plain text formatting of the methods.. I'm a huge Clean Code fan - if you need to write comments, your code isn't clean. Basically you need to really have a central place where you can run to when you're not sure why a back button press is not happening the way you expect. This method is that place.
private void syncDrawerToggleState() {
ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle = getDrawerToggle();
if (getDrawerToggle() == null) {
return;
}
if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 1) {
drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
drawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(navigationBackPressListener); //pop backstack
} else {
drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
drawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(drawerToggle.getToolbarNavigationClickListener()); //open nav menu drawer
}
}
This is the other key part of the BaseActivity. Basically this method checks whether you are at the root fragment and sets up the indicator accordingly. Notice that it changes the listener depending on how many fragments are in the back stack.
Then there is the BaseFragment:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
getActivity().setTitle(getTitle());
}
protected abstract String getTitle();
The code above shows how the title is handled by the fragments.
Try something like this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
if (getSupportActionBar()!=null) {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
final ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
drawerToggle.syncState();
final View.OnClickListener originalToolbarListener = drawerToggle.getToolbarNavigationClickListener();
final View.OnClickListener navigationBackPressListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
};
getFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
drawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(navigationBackPressListener);
} else {
drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
drawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(originalToolbarListener);
}
}
});
// Though below steps are not related but I have included to show drawer close on Navigation Item click.
navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
/**
* handle item clicks using id
*/
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
});
}
Handle the drawer state onBackPressed:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
To reload previous fragment on back press, always add the fragment transaction to back stack like this:
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
SomeFragment fragmentToBeLoaded = new SomeFragment();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragmentToBeLoaded,
fragmentToBeLoaded.getName());
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(fragmentToBeLoaded.getName());
fragmentTransaction.commit();
To dynamically change the page title, you can call this from every Fragments onStart or onResume method:
#Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
getActivity().setTitle("Title for fragment");
}
Note: I have considered standard layout declaration and thus I have not included any layouts.
"Page title - Changing the page titles whenever a fragment in pushed and popped"
When you remove a fragment, there is the method isRemoving(). It helps to change title back.
#Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (isRemoving()) {
// Change your title here
}
}
"functionality to Menu and Back nav"
Suggestion: we have to rely on the default android navigation system. If we use addToBackStack() for our fragments, in theory we don't have to override onBackPressed() at all.
"App does not redefine the expected function of a system icon (such as the Back button)."
"App supports standard system Back button navigation and does not make use of any custom, on-screen "Back button" prompts."
Core App Quality: https://developer.android.com/distribute/essentials/quality/core.html
"Managing the Hamburger/Back button at left top"
I suggest to use activity instead of 'MainActivityDetailFragment' to avoid complication.
Add this in your MainActivity where you are calling Fragments. getBackStackEntryCount() Return number of fragments in the back stack. where the fragment on the bottom of the stack has index 0. popBackStack() Pop the top Fragment off the back stack
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 1) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
return true;
}
And in your Fragment where you want to go back use this function
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == android.R.id.home) {
getActivity().onBackPressed();
}
return true;
}
Ok, after a lot of tests I finally succeeded to setup a good navigation. I needed exactly the same as you, the only difference is that I am using v4 Fragments, but I don't think this will change anything here.
I am not using ActionBarDrawerToggle since the latest examples from Google do not use this component anymore.
The solution below also works for deep navigation: parent activity --> fragment --> fragment etc.
The only change needed in the Fragments is to change the title:
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
getActivity().setTitle(R.string.targets);
}
In the parent Activity onCreate method, I initialize the following:
mNavigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
setupDrawerContent(mNavigationView);
final Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.drawer_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu_24);// Set the hamburger icon
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);// Set home button pressable
// Handle the changes on the actionbar
getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(
new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
public void onBackStackChanged() {
// When no more fragments to remove, we display back the hamburger icon and the original activity title
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() <= 0) {
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu_24);
setTitle(R.string.app_name);
}
// Else displays the back arrow
else {
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_arrow_back_24);
}
}
});
Here is now the code to handle the action on the Home button:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
// Close the soft keyboard right away
Tools.setSoftKeyboardVisible(mViewPager, false);
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
// When no more fragments to remove, open the navigation drawer
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() <= 0) {
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}
// Removes the latest fragment
else {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
And finally the code to handle the back press action:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// When no more fragments to remove, closes the activity
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() <= 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
}
// Else removes the latest fragment
else {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
NOTE: I am using an AppCompatActivity, a NavigationView and the theme Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.
I have created a program, I have the base nav bar extended like so:
public class navBar extends AppCompatActivity {}
The navbar code itself is too long to include, but it sets a toolbar, and sets a navbar and works great when I use it in most parts of my app.
However, when I try to add another navbar in the extended class it does something odd, when I press the points of interest button to open it and it runs this code:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.POI)
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerList);
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
It opens the drawer as requested, but leaves no dimming on the screen. Like so:
When I close the screen with the back button/points of interest button for example it lags a bit, dragging the white slowly but closes.
Even worse, when I had opened the drawer with a
However, when I use my finger to drag from right to left to open the drawer, it opens and functions perfectly.
Because my map class is rather long as well, I've tried to include only the important code:
public class Map2 extends navBar {
private Toolbar toolbar;
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private String[] mNavigationDrawerItemTitles;
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_maptest, frameLayout);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.nav_base_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_drawer);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
mDrawerLayout,
toolbar,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close
) {
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
mDrawerList.clearChoices();
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
//getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
//getActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
mNavigationDrawerItemTitles= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.navigation_drawer_items_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.right_drawer);
mNavigationDrawerItemTitles= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.navigation_drawer_items_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.right_drawer);
POIAdapter_without_image adapter2 = new POIAdapter_without_image(this, R.layout.points_of_interest, drawerItem2);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(adapter2);
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// If the nav drawer is open, hide action items related to the content view
boolean drawerOpen = mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_settings).setVisible(!drawerOpen);
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
actionBarDrawerToggleChild.syncState();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_skill_view, menu);
return true;
}
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList)) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
else
super.onBackPressed();
}
Edit:
Whenever I select a point on the points of interest list, the dragging white line can be seen here moments after the actual drawer has closed:
The black flash mentioned appears to be android both setting the dim and unsetting the dim as soon as I close the drawer.
This has thoroughly confused me for a few nights now. Thank you all!
you setDrawerShadow to cast shadow to drawer
drawer_layout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
Update :
drawer_shadow is .png file you put in drawable folder.
START : when drawer opens from left side.
END : when drawer opens from right side
In the end, the answer was to call:
final FrameLayout mapView = (FrameLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_maptest, frameLayout);
and when I wanted to find anything use
mDrawerLayout2 = (DrawerLayout) mapView.findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
for example.
it was then necessary to call
mDrawerLayout2.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.END);
rather than
mDrawerLayout2.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
To obtain the needed functionality
I've been searching for a while on how to change between the drawer open/close icon (going from a hamburger to the arrow) to a simple back arrow. My application at the moment only has one Activity which switches between several fragments. At one point, I want to transition between one of the main fragments (ie, one of the fragments in the drawer) to a fragment that hierarchically is under the previous fragment (ie, an "Add New " fragment). In this new fragment, I want to have the Toolbar to show the back button instead of the drawer button.
I've been looking around and trying different solutions for quite a while. Here are the most notable:
Change drawer icon back to back arrow - I successfully removed the drawer icon, but in place there's.... nothing. No up caret, no back button, no icon. I suspect this is because my Activity has no parent, but other than a cheap work around (create another Activity that acts as a parent which launches the main Activity), I'm at a lost of what to do.
Switching between Android Navigation Drawer image and Up caret when using fragments - Similar to the above, yet has far more detail. Ultimately, the icon still doesn't turn into a back button.
Android lollipop toolbar switch between open/close drawer and back button - I find this hard to follow, but ultimately the drawer icon can be tapped and does nothing (although I believe I know how to make it act as a back press). However, the icon doesn't change.
At the moment, I'm thinking of a long, arduous method of creating a custom icon that I hide and show (and hide/show the native drawer icon). However, is there a better way to switch between the drawer and back buttons?
As a side yet related question, I've been looking at the Material Design docs, and a few examples have an X in the top left corner. How different is that to implement than implementing the drawer vs back/up buttons?
Thanks~
Edit:
I can figure out how to replace the icon, but how would I get the click event?
So far, this was my best lead:
Cannot catch toolbar home button click event
What I've tried now:
Disabled the DrawerToggle when necessary (ie, mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(useDrawer);)
Added logs in onOptionsItemSelected in my NavigationDrawerFragment, my Activity, as well as the DialogFragment I'm currently testing which run if item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home is true. None of these log statements go off
For better context, I now have a full screen fragment which adds a "Save" button to the menu and changes the drawer icon to an "X". The fragment can get the save menu event, yet not even the Activity and Drawer can get when the X is tapped.
Edit2:
As requested, here is some code. Note that this is all from this Github repo, which I'm actively working on (note that I have a few useless functions here or there from rapid testing).
ActivityMain:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

int position = savedInstanceState.getInt(KEY_DRAWERPOS);
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setSelectedItem(position);
// Title needs to be re-set
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitles[position]);

Log.e(LOG_TAG, "onOptionsItemSelected: Save was selected!");
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

GoalAdderFragment:
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
// Allow this fragment to handle toolbar menu items

Solution:
This is the ultimate solution I ended up on, with the help of natario's answer below:
NavigationDrawerFragment:
private View.OnClickListener mOriginalListener;
public void setUp(int fragmentId, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, Toolbar toolbar) {
/* Rest of setting up code */
// Save the default listener after setting everything else up
mOriginalListener = mDrawerToggle.getToolbarNavigationClickListener();
}
// Tells the toolbar+drawer to switch to the up button or switch back to the normal drawer
public void toggleDrawerUse(boolean useDrawer) {
// Enable/Disable the icon being used by the drawer
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(useDrawer);
// Switch between the listeners as necessary
if(useDrawer)
mDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(mOriginalListener);
else
mDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Custom listener", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
Put this code into onCreate() of your Activity. Works well for me. Even using compileSdk 23 and higher.
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
final Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
if(toolbar != null) {
toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
toggle.syncState();
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); // show back button
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onBackPressed();
}
});
} else {
//show hamburger
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
toggle.syncState();
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}
});
}
}
});
It should work even for latest API 24.
In your activity onCreate() do this:
final Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
final DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
final ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, toolbar,
R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);

That's probably not what you would like to hear, but even from a conceptual point of view I would go for a new activity rather than a fragment.
Your main activity is strictly linked to the drawer, so loading a new fragment without any access to the drawer makes no sense to me (but feel free wait for other answers if you think so). A new activity would solve both problems, since it would have no drawer and could be a child of the main one.
Your side question looks spot on also. A "Add New" activity could nicely fit into the "full-screen dialog" visual pattern from the guidelines. See:
http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/dialogs.html#dialogs-full-screen-dialogs
This pattern has a "save", positive button on top-right, and a X. Conceptually, the X button is to cancel/abort a process, rather than navigating up some backstack. It means you are dismissing something without letting any action happen. This fits well for what you want to do.
From a design point of view, it's easily made by a new Activity, that can stay on top of others. Also, if the point of fragments is basically being able to represent two or more at once in tablets and bigger screen - again - I wouldn't be so happy with an old fragment on my left and an "Add New" fragment on the right.
Rather - on tablets - I would go for a floating dialog, as suggested by the guidelines.
http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/dialogs.html#dialogs-confirmation-dialogs
So full-screen activity with a X button for phones, and floating dialog (with buttons at the bottom) for tablets. This, to me, is the most guidelines-coherent approach.
I recommend reading the whole link. On the difference between <- and X,
The X differs from an Up arrow, which is used when the view’s state is constantly being saved or when apps have draft or autosave capabilities. For example, an Up arrow is used in Settings because all changes are committed immediately.
And also
Touching the X in this Settings example will discard all changes. Changes will be saved only upon touching Save.
The answer from #matusalem works great. I just had one bit to add to it - be careful because the drawer can also be opened by swiping in from the left side of the screen. For some, this may be desired, but for me I was disabling the drawer because it didn't make sense in any fragment but my main fragment. The swipe is easily disabled here -
Navigation drawer - disable swipe
This probably belongs in a comment to the answer, but I don't have enough reputation. My apologies.
I had same problem with switching between hamburger menu and back arrow inside same activity when changing fragments. Here is my working solution, hope it helps to someone.
Listener inside your activity:
private View.OnClickListener toolbarMenuListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//will be called only if toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false); !
Log.v(tag,"toggle onClick:"+v.getId()+" android.R.id.home:"+android.R.id.home);
onBackPressed();
}
};
Code onCreate() something like:
...
...
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
//set listener so you know when back on arrow is pressed
toggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(toolbarMenuListener);
...
...
Part you are interested in with comments (Class returned is some of mine class, can set to be void):
/**
* Method to set up action bar drawer.
* #param enableBackDrawerIcon set true if want to show drawer back arrow,
* false to show hamburger menu.
* #param title shown next to drawer icon
*/
public BaseMenusActivity drawerSetupToggle(boolean enableBackDrawerIcon, String title) {
//NOTE: order of methods call is important!
// If you change order order of setDrawerIndicatorEnabled and setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled
// method calls it won't work, weird bugs will happen (like no icon at all)
if(enableBackDrawerIcon){
Log.v(tag,"show drawer back icon");
//hides hamburger menu and enables View.OnClickListener to be called
toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
//show back arrow
if(getSupportActionBar()!=null)
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
} else {
Log.v(tag,"show hamburger menu");
//hide back arrow
if(getSupportActionBar()!=null)
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
//shows hamburger menu and prevents View.OnClickListener to be called
toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
setTitle(title);
return this;
}
NOTE: order of called methods is important! Would be better if could just write it in 2 lines like this but WON'T WORK (at least for me):
toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(!enableBackDrawerIcon);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(enableBackDrawerIcon);
If you are interested why order of method calls mess things up, look into implementation of those methods.
//This if block makes the menu back button to respond to clicks
//The onOptionsItemSelected fun for whatever reason was not capturing back menu clicks
if (toolbar != null) {
/* toggle = ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer_layout, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close)
toggle.syncState()
drawer_layout.setDrawerListener(toggle)*/
supportFragmentManager.addOnBackStackChangedListener(object : FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener {
override fun onBackStackChanged() {
if (supportFragmentManager.backStackEntryCount > 0) {
supportActionBar?.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) // show back button
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(object : View.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View) {
onBackPressed()
}
})
} else {
//show hamburger
supportActionBar?.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false)
toggle.syncState()
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(object : View.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View) {
drawer_layout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
}
})
}
}
})
}
You need to comment out "toggle = ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer_layout, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close)
toggle.syncState()
drawer_layout.setDrawerListener(toggle)" (4-7 lines) if you are using the auto generated Navigation layout in Android Studio, else the behavior of the back menu button will be erratic. That is what i did and it worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps someone
I am trying to implement DrawerLayout. The drawer layout is working fine. But the icon displayed in Top Left corner is android.R.id.home. However I have mentioned my custom icon in ActionBarDrawerToggle as follows:
// Getting reference to the DrawerLayout
drawerLayout = (android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer_list);
// Getting reference to the ActionBarDrawerToggle
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout,
**R.drawable.icon_top_menu**, R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close) {
/** Called when drawer is closed */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
/** Called when a drawer is opened */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
}
};
// Setting DrawerToggle on DrawerLayout
drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
getActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.icon_top_menu);
// enabling action bar app icon and behaving it as toggle button
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
What's the problem?
You should check your onoptionsItem selected, should missing there...............
as shown below:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
in place of '.action_settings' try 'icon_top_menu' your icon.......
you should use visibility true/false for the icon menu in each activity where you want to show your icon...and please describe your question properly what you want to do.
To
user1182217
okay i got your problem some what, hope this will help you.
as for icon id you are using "android.R.id.home" which is 'android id' by default,
in place of that use your icon id as R.id.home/ R.id.your_icon_id hope the only error as
per your problem description..........
When using the Navigation Drawer the Android devs are recommending that in the ActionBar "only those screens that are represented in the Navigation Drawer should actually have the Navigation Drawer image" and that "all other screens have the traditional up carat."
See here for details: http://youtu.be/F5COhlbpIbY
I'm using one activity to control multiple levels of fragments and can get the Navigation Drawer image to display and function at all levels.
When creating lower level fragments I can call the ActionBarDrawerToggle setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false) to hide the Navigation Drawer image and have the Up caret displayed
LowerLevelFragment lowFrag = new LowerLevelFragment();
//disable the toggle menu and show up carat
theDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frag_layout,
lowFrag, "lowerFrag").addToBackStack(null).commit();
The problem I'm having is when I navigate back to the top level fragments the Up carat still shows instead of the original Navigation Drawer image. Any suggestions on how to "refresh" the ActionBar on the top level fragments to re-display the Navigation Drawer image?
Solution
Tom's suggestion worked for me. Here’s what I did:
MainActivity
This activity controls all fragments in the app.
When preparing new fragments to replace others, I set the DrawerToggle setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false) like this:
LowerLevelFragment lowFrag = new LowerLevelFragment();
//disable the toggle menu and show up carat
theDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frag_layout,
lowFrag).addToBackStack(null).commit();
Next, in an override of onBackPressed, I reverted the above by setting the DrawerToggle to setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true) like this:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
// turn on the Navigation Drawer image;
// this is called in the LowerLevelFragments
setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true)
}
In the LowerLevelFragments
In the fragments I modified onCreate and onOptionsItemSelected like this:
In onCreate added setHasOptionsMenu(true) to enable configuring the options menu. Also set setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) to enable the < in the actionbar:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// needed to indicate that the fragment would
// like to add items to the Options Menu
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
// update the actionbar to show the up carat/affordance
getActivity().getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
Then in onOptionsItemSelected whenever the < is pressed it calls the onBackPressed() from the activity to move up one level in the hierarchy and display the Navigation Drawer Image:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Get item selected and deal with it
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
//called when the up affordance/carat in actionbar is pressed
getActivity().onBackPressed();
return true;
…
}
It's easy as 1-2-3.
If you want to achieve:
1) Drawer Indicator - when no fragments are in the Back Stack or the Drawer is opened
2) Arrow - when some Fragments are in the Back Stack
private FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener
mOnBackStackChangedListener = new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
syncActionBarArrowState();
}
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_navigation_drawer,
0,
0
) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
syncActionBarArrowState();
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(mOnBackStackChangedListener);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
getSupportFragmentManager().removeOnBackStackChangedListener(mOnBackStackChangedListener);
super.onDestroy();
}
private void syncActionBarArrowState() {
int backStackEntryCount =
getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(backStackEntryCount == 0);
}
3) Both indicators to act according to their shape
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (mDrawerToggle.isDrawerIndicatorEnabled() &&
mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
} else if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home &&
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate()) {
return true;
} else {
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
P.S. See Creating a Navigation Drawer on Android Developers on other tips about the 3-lines indicator behavior.
You have written that, to implement lower-level fragments, you are replacing the existing fragment, as opposed to implementing the lower-level fragment in a new activity.
I would think that you would then have to implement the back functionality manually: when the user pressed back you have code that pops the stack (e.g. in Activity::onBackPressed override). So, wherever you do that, you can reverse the setDrawerIndicatorEnabled.
I've used next thing:
getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
if(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0){
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
else {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
}
});
If your up action bar button doesn't work, don't forget to add the listener :
// Navigation back icon listener
mDrawerToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onBackPressed();
}
});
I've got some trouble implementing a drawer navigation with a home button, everything worked except the action buton.
Try handling the Home item selection in the MainActivity depending on the state of the DrawerToggle. This way you don't have to add same code to every fragment.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Only handle with DrawerToggle if the drawer indicator is enabled.
if (mDrawerToggle.isDrawerIndicatorEnabled() &&
mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle action buttons
switch (item.getItemId()) {
// Handle home button in non-drawer mode
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
FOLLOW UP
The solution given by #dzeikei is neat, but it can be extended, when using fragments, to automatically handle setting back the drawer indicator when the backstack is empty.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Only handle with DrawerToggle if the drawer indicator is enabled.
if (mDrawerToggle.isDrawerIndicatorEnabled() &&
mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle action buttons
switch (item.getItemId()) {
// Handle home button in non-drawer mode
case android.R.id.home:
// Use getSupportFragmentManager() to support older devices
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.popBackStack();
// Make sure transactions are finished before reading backstack count
fragmentManager.executePendingTransactions();
if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() < 1){
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
EDIT
For the question of #JJD.
The fragments are held/managed in an activity. The above code is written once in that activity, but only handle the up caret for the onOptionsItemSelected.
In one of my apps I also needed to handle the behavior of the up caret when the back button was pressed. This can be handle by overriding onBackPressed.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Use getSupportFragmentManager() to support older devices
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.executePendingTransactions();
if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() < 1){
super.onBackPressed();
} else {
fragmentManager.executePendingTransactions();
fragmentManager.popBackStack();
fragmentManager.executePendingTransactions();
if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() < 1){
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
}
};
Note the code duplication between onOptionsItemSelected and onBackPressed which can be avoided by creating a method and calling that method in both places.
Also note I add two more times executePendingTransactions which in my case was required or else I had sometimes strange behaviors of the up caret.
I created an interface for the hosting activity to update the view state of the hamburger menu. For top level fragments I set the toggle to true and for fragments for which I want to display the up < arrow I set the toggle to false.
public class SomeFragment extends Fragment {
public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
public void showDrawerToggle(boolean showDrawerToggle);
}
private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
this.mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString() + " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mListener.showDrawerToggle(false);
}
}
Then in my Activity ...
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SomeFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener {
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
public void showDrawerToggle(boolean showDrawerIndicator) {
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(showDrawerIndicator);
}
}
This answer was working but there was a little problem with it.
The getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false) was not called explicitly and it was causing drawer icon to be hidden even when there were no items in the backstack so changing the setActionBarArrowDependingOnFragmentsBackStack() method worked for me.
private void setActionBarArrowDependingOnFragmentsBackStack() {
int backStackEntryCount = getSupportFragmentManager()
.getBackStackEntryCount();
// If there are no items in the back stack
if (backStackEntryCount == 0) {
// Please make sure that UP CARAT is Hidden otherwise Drawer icon
// wont display
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
// Display the Drawer Icon
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
} else {
// Show the Up carat
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
// Hide the Drawer Icon
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
}
}
Logic is clear.
Show back button if fragment back stack is clear.
Show material hamburger-back animation if fragment stack is not clear.
getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(
new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
syncActionBarArrowState();
}
}
);
private void syncActionBarArrowState() {
int backStackEntryCount = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(backStackEntryCount == 0);
}
//add these in Your NavigationDrawer fragment class
public void setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(boolean flag){
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
if (!flag) {
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
mDrawerToggle.setHomeAsUpIndicator(getColoredArrow());
} else {
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
getActivity().supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
//download back button from this(https://www.google.com/design/icons/) website and add to your project
private Drawable getColoredArrow() {
Drawable arrowDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.ic_arrow_back_black_24dp);
Drawable wrapped = DrawableCompat.wrap(arrowDrawable);
if (arrowDrawable != null && wrapped != null) {
// This should avoid tinting all the arrows
arrowDrawable.mutate();
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrapped, Color.GRAY);
}
return wrapped;
}
If you take a look at the GMAIL app and come here to search for the carret/affordance icon..
I would ask you to do this, none of the above answer was clear. i was able to modify the accepted answer.
NavigationDrawer --> Listview contains subfragments.
subfragments will be listed like this
firstFragment == position 0 ---> this will have subfragments --> fragment
secondFragment
thirdFragment and so forth....
In firstFragment you have other fragment.
Call this on DrawerActivity
getFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
} else {
mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
}
}
});
and in fragment
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Get item selected and deal with it
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
//called when the up affordance/carat in actionbar is pressed
activity.onBackPressed();
return true;
}
return false;
}
On the OnBackPressed Drawer activity method set the drawer toggle to true to enable navigation list icon again.
Thanks,
Pusp
You can look at this little example!
https://github.com/oskarko/NavDrawerExample
IMO, using onNavigateUp() (as shown here) in riwnodennyk's or Tom's solution is cleaner and seems to work better. Just replace the onOptionsItemSelected code with this:
#Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
// handle up navigation
return true;
} else {
return super.onSupportNavigateUp();
}
}
