Navigation Item Selected State through Multiple Activities

I have a working Navigation Drawer through out multiple activities and I am looking to highlight the current Navigation Item Selected after it changes the activity. How can I save the Item Selected Listener through out the whole app while the onCreateDrawer its recreating itself on every other activity?
If you need any other relevant activity or have any feedback, dont hesitate to indulge me!
BaseActivity
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public NavigationView mNavigationView;
protected ActionBarDrawerToggle mToggle;
protected Toolbar mToolbar;
public DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
protected void onCreateDrawer() {
//Instantiate Navigation Drawer
setupNavDrawer();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.logout) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mToggle.syncState();
}
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
//Set up Navigation Drawer
private void setupNavDrawer() {
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_actionbar);
mNavigationView= (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
mToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, mToolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mToggle);
mNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull final MenuItem item) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override

switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.nav_home:

}
}, 225);
return true;

Once I also had similar problem. And here is what worked for me:
Change menu ids and class names as per your situation.
private void setupNavDrawer() {
// ...
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
menuItem.setChecked(true);
switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
case R.id.mainSection:
drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
startNewActivity(MainActivity.class);
break;
case R.id.allGames:
drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
startNewActivity(GamesActivity.class);
break;
return true;
}
});
setNavigationViewCheckedItem();
// .....
}
And here setNavigationViewCheckedItem mehod:
private void setNavigationViewCheckedItem() {
if (this.getClass().equals(MainActivity.class)) {
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.mainSection);
} else if (this.getClass().equals(GamesActivity.class)) {
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.allGames);
}
}

Connecting toolbar with the navigation drawer

I have several activities where I want to use the same navigation drawer. Here's part of my Activity class code related to the drawer:
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
I'm planning to make a DrawerActivity class and extend it from all those activities which want the Navigation drawer. Therefore, I will have to move all the drawer code to that DrawerActivity.
The problem:
toolbar is important for the initialization of ActionBarDrawerToggle. Every activity has a different toolbar depending upon the needs of that activity. Therefore, the toolbar layouts must be kept in their respective layout xml files. How would I use the toolbar then in the DrawerActivity class?
Layout xml for the drawer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/frame_layout"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
</FrameLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
app:itemBackground="#drawable/drawer_list_selector"
style="#style/NavigationDrawer"
app:headerLayout="#layout/sidenav_header"
app:menu="#menu/side_navigation_menu"
app:theme="#style/Drawer"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Here's the SideNavigation activity (which I'm trying to extend by those classes who need navigation drawer): pastebin.com/hheMXku5
main statement of the log says:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.v7.app.ActionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(boolean)' on a null object reference
Here's the link to the onCreate of one of the activity class that extends the SideNavigation class: pastebin.com/iKYXVbda

okey so as you want to use drawer with Activity. I am posting my code here. I hope this will help you out.
First of all you need to develop NavigationDrawer. I know you can do it by your self.
Now create child Activity for Example Home.java and extend it with your drawer Activity let's say MainActivity.java.
it will be something like this.
public class Home extends MainActivity{
Toolbar toolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
}
Now usually we perform setContentView in onCreate, bur here do something like this.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.home, frameLayout);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
}
Where frameLayout would be your container, which you have take in MainActivity.
Note : don't forget to take another ToolBar in home Activity. because it will override MainActivity's toolbar.
EDIT
I am posting my Whole code please refer it. Although I have took my custom Navigation drawer but it can work with NavigationView too.

Check code output in gif image below

Make sure that everything within your left-drawer-layout is clickable. Otherwise, clicks will be passed to the underlying view, in this case to your main-content. You can do so by setting an OnClickListener to the rootview of your FragmentDrawer:
myFragmentInsideTheDrawer.getView().setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View pView) {
// do nothing here, just intercept click-events
}
});

In inDrawerOpen method you can use yourcontentlayout.setEnabled(false) and in onDrawerClosed method yourcontentlayout.setEnabled(true)
Hope this helps!

You need to extend either ActionbarActivity, or AppCompatActivity, and use a Toolbar widget to be in the beginning of your Activity. In your activities on create, do the following:
public class YourActivity extends ActionBarActivity{
...
...
private Toolbar mToolbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_layout);
mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
//Set toggle with toolbar now!
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this,
mDrawerLayout,
mToolbar,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
super.onDrawerClosed(view);
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
}
};
And for your Toolbar that lives in your activity xml (the very first element for your layout!)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:background="#color/primary_color"
android:title="#string/app_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="CreateSomeStyleHereIfYouNeed"
app:popupTheme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

I fix the problem changing this function
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
if(mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(leftDrawerList)) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(leftDrawerList);
}
else {
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(leftDrawerList);
}
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
New function that fix the problem
#Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)){ return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); }

Home button not showing up in navigation drawer android

I'm using navigation drawer for a project, everything is working fine but one small problem, I always that arrow displayed not home button.
I tried everything found in the documentations, forums and here nothing is actually working.
What I tried so far:
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
#Override
public void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState, PersistableBundle persistentState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState, persistentState);
mNavigationDrawerFragment.getmDrawerToggle().syncState();
}
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionBar.setTitle(mTitle);
NavigationDrawerFragment:
// Defer code dependent on restoration of previous instance state.
mDrawerLayout.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
});

i have been busy making a simple app with navigation drawer..don't use template there are deprecated methods..
This is completely working.. i created this example.. try this..
your MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
Toolbar toolbar;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Profile profile = (Profile) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.profileFragmentInMain);
profile.setUp((DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer),toolbar);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
This is your Fragment..
public class Profile extends Fragment {
ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.profile, container, false);
return view;
}
public void setUp(DrawerLayout drawerLayout, Toolbar toolbar) {
mDrawerLayout = drawerLayout;
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(getActivity(), drawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.open, R.string.close){
#Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
#Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item != null && item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(Gravity.RIGHT)) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.RIGHT);
} else {
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(Gravity.RIGHT);
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
mDrawerLayout.post(new Runnable(){
#Override
public void run(){
drawerToggle.syncState();
}
});
}
}
this is all in classes..
now xml layouts..
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

your profile.xml

android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DialogWhenLarge.NoActionBar">
</LinearLayout>
your toolbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/app_toolbar" />
previews :
open the drawer
closed drawer
Additional Info : I have added toolbar which is Material Design implemetation of ActionBar. Its latest way to create Actionbar. You can use that. just in case, select Theme with NoActionbBar in your styles.xml file.

So I finally found the solution. I just took of this R.drawable.ic_drawer from:
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(getActivity(), drawerLayout, R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.open, R.string.close);
And it worked like a charm.
