Why won't my Android Navigation Drawer Open - android

I am trying to set up a listview for some actions that is displayed on a Navigation Drawer that opens from the right. The project will compile with no errors and I tried out my BaseAdapter on a ListView that is already in view and that works fine. There is no action bar in my app so the user has to open the drawer by sliding from the right edge of the screen. All the info to be displayed in the listview is handled in the adapter.
Here is what is in onCreate that is related to the drawer (On the official tutorial it seemed the only reason they would reference the actual DrawerLayout is to give it a toggle on the action bar, which I don't have):
I am now getting a null pointer exception when I try to assign the adapter.
ListView drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawerList); returns null
UPDATED CODE
ListView drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawerList);
SectionedAdapter DrawerAdapter = new SectionedAdapter(this);
drawerList.setAdapter(DrawerAdapter);

This might help!!

I have a solution for your problem:
1/ It should set a
android:theme="#style/AppThemeNoBar"
style in your manifest.
Add style
<style name="AppThemeNoBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
2/ menu_drawer :
<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">
<!-- The main content view -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/></android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
3/ MainActivity:
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, mDrawerLayout, R.drawable.menu_icon, R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close
) {
#Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
#Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
As a result you get a swipe-menu without ActionBar.

Maybe you made a mistake in view id name:
findViewById(R.id.drawList);
it should be R.id.drawerList instead of R.id.drawList.
P.S. I don't have enough rating to comment on answer.

</fragment></android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I want to add a Drawer Layout to this existing Activity. I have tried a lot but couldn't make it work. I have tried MapView as well. Can you give me some pointers? Thanks.
So this is pretty straight forward Here is a gist, with all the code below.
Dependency section of my build.gradle :
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
}
XML file for my AppCompatActivity which includes the drawer layout and a SupportMapFragment, since I am using appcompat-v7 for this project:
<RelativeLayout 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=".MainActivity">
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<fragment
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/add"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_maps_navigation"
app:backgroundTint="#777"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"/>
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/nav_container"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Then I have a single activity:
package com.test.mapdrawer;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DrawerFragment.NavCallback {
private DrawerLayout drawer;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
setupDrawerLayout();
if(savedInstanceState == null) {
/*
Load the fragment for the drawer
*/
getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.nav_container, DrawerFragment.newInstance(), "Drawer")
.commit();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
#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_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();
// Handle the drawer Actions
if(mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)){
return true;
}
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
private void setupDrawerLayout(){
// Instantiate the Drawer Toggle
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, R.string.app_name, R.string.app_name){
#Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(getString(R.string.app_name));
}
#Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(getString(R.string.app_name));
}
};
// Set the Toggle on the Drawer, And tell the Action Bar Up Icon to show
drawer.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onNavSelected(int position) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Selected item: "+ position + " from nav", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
And finally your typical Manifest for a Map project:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.mapdrawer" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="<YOUR_MAPS_API_KEY_HERE>"/>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Then you want to create and populate the Navigation Drawer Fragment:
package com.test.mapdrawer;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class DrawerFragment extends Fragment {
private static final String [] NAV_ITEMS = {"Home", "Nav Item 2", " Nav Item 3", "Nav Item 4"};
private ListView mListView;
private NavCallback mCallback;
public interface NavCallback{
void onNavSelected(int position);
}
/**
* Create a static method to return this fragment
* #return - this fragment
*/
public static DrawerFragment newInstance(){
return new DrawerFragment();
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
mCallback = (MainActivity) activity;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.drawer_fragment, container, false);
/*
You can really use anything you want here but for simplicity lest assume ListView
*/
mListView = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.listViewNav);
mListView.setOnItemClickListener(ListListener);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
// Simple adapter, Also this is for simplicity and adapter can be used
mListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, NAV_ITEMS));
}
private final AdapterView.OnItemClickListener ListListener = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
mCallback.onNavSelected(position);
}
};
}
Which has layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/black">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listViewNav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</FrameLayout>
Please note I have updated 2 files for this Change and added 2
MainActivity -> now implements interface and onCreate contains logic to load fragment
activity_main.xml -> FrameLayout background for drawer is removed
New Drawerfragment
New drawer_fragment.xml
Also, the gist has been update to reflect these changes, happy coding!

Cannot get navigation drawer to function

I've been at this for hours and can't seem to get the drawer to show up at all. Here is my code maybe someone can tell me what is wrong here... The app runs with no errors until I get to the activity with the Drawer then it crashes.
Here is my code:

}
});

if (flavorPicked.equals("Kansas City")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(FlavorListView.this, KansasCity.class);
startActivity(intent);
setContentView(R.layout.kansas_city);
Toast.makeText(FlavorListView.this, "Looks like " + flavorPicked +

Toast.makeText(FlavorListView.this, "Looks like " + flavorPicked +
" style be your flavor! You can change your flavor anytime in the settings menu.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
}
}
I'm getting a java.lang.NullPointerException and the debugger is saying at (FlavorListView.java:57) which is at mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
IF I comment this line out the app runs but no drawer...
please help. thanks :)

If you're getting an NPE there, then mDrawerLayout must be null. Make sure drawer_layout is the right ID to find the drawer in your XML. You need to inflate the Drawer Layout XML file too. You almost have it right (you need to replace menu_welcome below with the name of your file):
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_welcome, action_setting);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) action_setting.findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
Place below code in your onCreate and NOT in
onCreateOptionMenu
/------------------------------------------------------------/
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(FlavorListView.this, mDrawerLayout,R.drawable.ic_menu,
R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
};
// Set the drawer toggle as the DrawerListener
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

Custom Drawer Layout for Slide Over Action Bar

My requirement is i need the functionality of Navigation Drawer (Navigation Menu should appear both by clicking on the toggle icon and also dragging from margin) + Drawer layout on top of the action bar.
Check this post, i want the similar action.
I had gone through many post regarding this in SO itself, most of them saying to use a third-party library to use to get this done. But i don't want to use, instead in One SO question CommonsWare said like this can be done by tweaking the Drawerlayout.
How to achieve this?
Note: I don't want to use external library as it was creating problems.
In Android Default you cannot move the DrawerLayout along with the Action Bar. However if your are keen on using the Default Navigation Drawer. Hide the Action bar and create a Top layout similar to action bar. It will move with the drawerLayout. If you want further help code wise let me know.

And another important part Please change your application theme to noActionbar. Let me know if this satisfies your requirements.
Have you checked the Navigation Drawer documentation already? You have to provide a layout for the navigation drawer anyways, so it's always custom and up to you how it looks like.

Android Navigation Drawer not being closed by dragging it

I'm trying to implement a Navigation Drawer and I managed successfully to integrate it with the Action Bar: it opens and closes when the application button is pressed and it closes when I press on a blank part of the screen, but it does not allow to be dragged back to its original position. Once opened, I can't close it with a swipe (as in every application I have seen so far).
Here is my Java code:
package com.example.notificationswhisperer;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MainActivity
extends Activity {
private DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
private ListView drawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;
private List<AppDrawerItem> drawerItems;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_notifications_whisperer);
drawerItems = new ArrayList<AppDrawerItem>();
drawerItems.add(
new AppDrawerItem("Settings",
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_settings)));
drawerItems.add(
new AppDrawerItem("Test",
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_settings)));
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout_app_drawer);
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, // Context
drawerLayout, // DrawerLayout object
R.drawable.ic_drawer, // Drawer icon
0, // Open Drawer description
0) { // Closed Drawer description
public void onDrawerOpened(View view) {
super.onDrawerOpened(view);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
public void onDrawerSlide(View view, float offset) {
if (offset > .5) {
onDrawerOpened(view);
} else {
onDrawerClosed(view);
}
}
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
drawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, Gravity.START);
drawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_app_drawer);
drawerList.setAdapter(new AppDrawerAdapter(this, drawerItems));
drawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
drawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(drawerList);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
drawerToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration config) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(config);
drawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(config);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.notifications_whisperer, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
This is my layout for the activity:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/layout_app_drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.notificationswhisperer.NotificationsWhisperer" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_app_drawer"
android:layout_width="280dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/black"
android:dividerHeight="0.5dp"
android:background="#android:color/white" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
And this is for the List entries:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_item_app_drawer_image"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/list_item_app_drawer_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/list_item_app_drawer_image"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
Am I missing something? Thank you in advance.
ADDENDUM: Additionally, the back button won't close the Drawer.
I had the very same issue : the drawer could be opened by a swipe, but could only be closed by a click on the actionbar button.
After some research, it appeared that the underlying activity had several critical bugs : some fragments were added which were adding an un-initialized pager (with a null adapter)
Anyway, when I fixed these bugs (which had nothing to do with the drawer implementation), then behavior went correct.
