I have an android app with a navigation drawer (Sidebar) and ads on the main activity xml layout. I have a broadcast receiver inside of the Activity that listens for changes in internet connectivity. If the internet connection is good then I make the adView visible, but if the internet connection fails, I change the visibility of the adView to GONE.
The problem is when I change the visibility of the adView to GONE then the navigation drawer won't open for some odd reason. Only when I close the navigation drawer with the visibility of the adView set to GONE can I catch a quick glimpse of it closing... but when I open it I cannot see that it is opened. It appears that it has opened, but that it is not visible. If I turn my wifi back on, the adView shows and the problem doesn't exist anymore. It would be nice if I could make the ADS disappear completely if the wifi or data connection turned off.

I has activity with the next layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Container containerProgress(progressBar) is show over all other elements in screen.
OK.
I need when containerProgress is show to was not possible to click any items on screen.
But I can click on drawerlayout hamburger icon.
How I can disable click on hamburger icon while containerProgress is show?
Set empty click listener to toggle
toggle.setOnClickListener(view -> {
// We ignore it
}
And whem you want to enable it again:
toggle.setOnClickListener(null);
OR
You can hide it using
toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
OR
If under "disable click" you mean "prevent drawer to be opened" you can do that:
drawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED)
And when you want to enable it:
drawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED)
I'm trying to create an application with fragment on the side as a menu bar.
My main problem is that when I open the fragment I can see the buttons behind it and even press them.
Of course I don't want that. I tried adding the property android:clickable="true" to the layout but it didn't help.
This is my code:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="ibuy.ibuy.AddUpdateItem">
.

<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/search_image"
android:id="#+id/btnBrows"
android:onClick="openItemTable"

android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="Menus.smallMenu"
tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer"
android:alpha="255" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
This is the code of the listView of the fragment on other file:
<ListView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#cccc"
tools:context="Menus.smallMenu"
android:clickable="true"/>
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
I don't know what you meant by "I can see the buttons behind it". I assume you meant behind the DrawerLayout UI.
1)
In that case, you can use the attribute like android:layout_below="#id/btnBrows". As far as I know, all the UI elements should be positioned, otherwise they may be displayed one on top of another, like what you are seeing.
2) Also an issue is that both android:layout_width and layout_height of DrawerLayout is match_parent which fills up the whole screen. It competes screen space with the button. If the button is inside DrawerLayout, that would not be an issue but this might be your intentional design.
If you're into Android Studio, create a new Navigation Drawer Activity. Take a look at the main XML layout.
The DrawerLayout should be your root view. Inside it, you have the RelativeLayout with the buttons and the Fragment that is your navigation drawer.
That way, both are separated and the navigation drawer overlaps correctly when opened.
I'm creating the layout for a tablet and I have a DrawerLayout, which has a Fragment on the left menu (so the drawer) and should have two fragments as main content.
The way I'm doing it is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="3"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/right_card_group_divider"
android:layout_width="1dip"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/grey_line_bg"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/menu_frame_two"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.3"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/menu_frame"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Nevertheless, I notice that if I manually hide the "menu_frame_two", the DrawerLayout works perfectly, but if that Fragment isn't hidden, then when opening the DrawerLayout nothing appears on the screen: it gets darker, just like if the drawer has been opened.
Is there any reason why the left drawer menu isn't showing?
Your menu_frame_two FrameLayout seems coming over the menu_frame Navigation Drawer. So navigation drawer is not visible that time
Solution :
Use single FrameLayout and add all elemets of main content screen inside it
<FrameLayout android:id = "#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame_inside"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="3"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/right_card_group_divider"
android:layout_width="1dip"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/grey_line_bg"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/menu_frame_two"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.3"/>
</FrameLayout>
Reason :
As per Documentation there should be one content_frame with height and width equal to match_parent
I notice that the drawers within the Google applications are scrollable, but I cannot for some reason come to the conclusion of how to achieve a scrollable DrawerLayout. I attempted to construct the layout file with the following design paradigm.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".mainScreen">
<!-- Layout of Activity -->
</FrameLayout>
<!-- DrawerLayout segment -->
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#77000000">
<!-- Layout of Drawer -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
But, with or without the ScrollView, the drawer just cuts items off at the bottom when they go beyond the end of the screen. I can't get any form of scrolling enabled. Not sure what I am missing or need to enable. Thoughts would be appreciated.
The LinearLayout in the DrawerLayout segment contains different styled views. One view displays title only with a divider below it, one displays an imageview with text next to it and another displays a title with a switch built into the row. So, multiple styled views need to be accounted for if done outside of XML coded layout files.
While using a ListView is a valid option, it was useful for me to attempt and resolve the situation for which I already had such a large XML file constructed for my layout in between the ScrollView above. As it turned out, there were only a few small modifications needed in order to get it working as intended. The latest layout file constructed is the following:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".mainScreen">
<!-- Layout of Activity -->
</FrameLayout>
<!-- DrawerLayout segment -->
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/drawerLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#77000000">
<!-- Layout of Drawer -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The main modifications required me to alter where the gravity and the margin existed. The gravity needed to be in the surrounding ScrollView otherwise it would cause odd behavior that didn't scroll or actually crashed in some instances apparently. Then the inner layout needed to be changed to 'wrap content'.
If the margin was not moved into the ScrollView as well, it apparently doesn't scroll down to the bottom. It left a margin of scroll unscrolled at the bottom. Once this was resolved, the DrawerLayout worked as was expected at this point. The ListView option also proposed is another approach to be used, but as mentioned at this point it was worth me analyzing it a bit further to re-use the code that I already had written; especially with several different custom views that would need to be handled inside the view.
It seems that it only works properly with a ListView. You will take less time to migrate to ListView than trying to make the ScrollView to work.
You should use a listview along with the frame layout. Something like this :
<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">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<ListView android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="180dp"
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>
You can also refer to the Navigation Drawer documentation at developer.android.com. It has everything you will need.
When I put ScrollView into the content of a DrawerLayout, I am nolonger able to open the drawer by swiping from the side.
Activity layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The menu_main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView
android:name="com.gumtree.androidapp.DrawerFragment"
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
In Activity's onCreate I add a fragment which has following layout:
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_height="160dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/headline"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="#dimen/headline_text_size"
android:padding="#dimen/detail_text_padding"
android:textIsSelectable="false"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/description"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="#dimen/description_text_size"
android:padding="#dimen/detail_text_padding"
android:textIsSelectable="false"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Without the ScrollView everything works fine and I am able to open the drawer by swiping from the side. However when I add the ScrollView, it stops working.
The problem here was silly named ID of FrameLayout used as content container of DrawerLayout. I used system ID (android.R.id.content) which caused that the content fragment was put on the top of all other views - even the drawer.
It also caused fragment's layout to overlap the drawer and - related to this question - blocked the drawer from receiving touch events. The touch events were taken by fragment's ScrollView.
Conclusion: DO NOT USE SYSTEM IDs (android.R.*) WHERE IT IS NOT NEEDED.
I just wanted it to look nice and clean.. Silly me :)
