i was using sliding menu drawer it was awesome,and now switched to Google navigation drawer.but i don't know how to customize like font,color,gravity,spacing,etc
Have you looked at Google's documentation? It explains it very well. You can define the layout (including font, color, margins, etc.) for the navigation drawer in XML like you would any other layout. Here is the link to Google's documentation and tutorial: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
Don´t forget about custimizing yours navigation drrawer listView! You could add very nice details with headers and so on.

I use this library:
https://github.com/mikepenz/MaterialDrawer
I would like to have a right NavigationDrawer with a ListView (or a lot of items) inside and I get items from DB inside the Fragment and when user click on items on the NavigationDrawer I get data from another DB and show it on Fragment.
and I have a questions:
is possible to create a right Drawer inside a Fragment? or is better to create a new right Drawer in MainActivity and change the navigation item inside the Fragment?
Just use brand new Navigation View from recenlty released Android Design Support Library by Google.
Here are links for you:
official documentation, always a good read: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/NavigationView.html
nicely written blog post about Navigation View: http://antonioleiva.com/navigation-view/
and last but not least, sample app using new Android Design Library: https://github.com/antoniolg/MaterializeYourApp
To have Navigation View on the right, just set android:layout_gravity to end.
As from design point of view, you should always use left sided Navigation Drawer, it is possible to make it right sided, but its recommended to leave it at the left side.
Another thing is that you do not need to use 3rd party navigation drawer libraries.Since there is a Design library by google, which supports the material design navigation view.
Here is a link for the library:
https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/features.html
And here is another useful link:
https://guides.codepath.com/android/Design-Support-Library
Here is the link for the Navigation Drawer: https://guides.codepath.com/android/Fragment-Navigation-Drawer
As for your question the appropriate way is to create the drawer always in the main activity onCreate() method.
I want create navigation drawer in the bottom , when click button open navigation in bottom to up
like this in link

The default Navigation drawer does not work that way. Consider using
https://github.com/wunderlist/android-sliding-layer-lib
It allows you to configure a view/layout(with your content) that can slide into your screen from any direction.
This answer may be too late for the original asker, but you could get this effect by using a Sliding Drawer. It has since been deprecated, however, there are some nice open source alternatives around, like the ones in the links below:

I would like to create my own Navigation Drawer
using the current Material Design for the Navigation Drawer.
A good example of this implementation is the YouTube app.
In the App the Navigation Drawer overlaps the Action bar and is not below the action bar like in previous implementations.
I've tried following some example from other people's tutorials but they fall short of what I want. I have included some of the implementations that I have tried. I do not want to use a Library,
I want to implement it . Is there currently a tutorial that applies the Material Design Patterns properly.
YouTube Navigation Drawer

I used https://github.com/chrisbanes/cheesesquare as a reference. However I came across this tutorial that provides a proper guide on how to create a material design navigation drawer whilist also handling the click events of menu items
https://guides.codepath.com/android/Fragment-Navigation-Drawer
I'm trying to get a NavigationDrawer working with sliding tabs inside a fragment (just like google play music or the google i/o app). In all my reasearch I found that you can't use Action bar tabs + Navigation Drawer together because the Navigation drawer will look like in the back of the tabs (I notice that). Can anyone help me telling me how to get that done without use an external library such ActionBarSherlock or TabHost (according to the documentation is recommended the use of actionbar)?
Yes, you're right. It won't be possible using ActionBar tabs as the navigation drawer won't overlap them. I recently implemented a library called ViewPagerAddons which has a custom view called SlidingTabLayoutColors imitating the behavior seen in Google Play/Music.
But as you said you don't want to use any libraries, you can still have a look at the source code. Here's the link with instructions: https://bitbucket.org/enthusiast94/viewpageraddons
as I pursue my study on android app development I came across this app from apple and I was wondering if, is there a way to imitate the navigation drawer in this screen shot?!
See it's an expandable navigation drawer. a list view with some items that are expandable. Is there an actual way to imitate this on android?
Thank you very much again for all of your help.
You can recreate that drawer.
You can use the ExpandableListView within the Navigation Drawer. And of course you'll have to create your own parent and child item layouts for the listview. As well as appropriate styling. You can use tutorials to do this, first create the navigation drawer, then create the expandablelistview and put it within the navaigation drawer layout.
I'd also like to note on that screen shot, the drawer is incorrect. It should slide out below the action bar, over-top of the activity (like in the link). It should not slide the entire application window to the right like how some apps do.
Use a Custom ListView for this, see here for that: How To Create A Custom Listview - Android Example
Also, you will have to create specialized buttons that have a different look than standard holo buttons, see here for that: How to create custom button in Android using XML Styles
Finally, I do not believe it is possible to directly clone the navigation drawer, as the app you showed doesn't have an open sourced app (as far as I know).
