in my android project, I have set up a navigation drawer. Now, on swiping, the drawer works fine but I have a few problems that I'd liked solved.
There is no drawer icon to the left side of my launcher icon in the action bar. How do you implement that. Also when I click on the action bar icon, the navigation drawer does not slide in.
I would like to change the color of the text of my ListView inside my navigation drawer. I tried changing android:textColor in the xml layout but it didn't work.
I have the drawer_shadow.9.png drawable of the navigation drawer and I tried implementing it using the setDrawerShadow(drawable, gravity); method but it didn't seem to work. In the two parameters I added the drawable and the ListView R.id for the gravity.
That's just about it. Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks in advance.

Use ActionBarDrawerToggle.
I would like to change the color of the text of my ListView inside my navigation drawer. I tried changing android:textColor in the xml layout but it didn't work.
If the "xml layout" is the one for the row, it should work. If the "xml layout" is the one for the drawer (where your ListView is), it should not work.
In the two parameters I added the drawable and the ListView R.id for the gravity.
From elsewhere in the DrawerLayout documentation, I think your interpretation of the second parameter is off:
Gravity.LEFT to move the left drawer or Gravity.RIGHT for the right. GravityCompat.START or GravityCompat.END may also be used.

I want to add title under the icon that as default appears when i create the navigation drawer .
like in red border
Its not possible if you use normal ActionBarToggle, you can provide your own custom layout in toolbar and add menu icon to it but back animation will not work. Also you will have to handle click events on the menu your self
I need to know how to set specific color for each menu item icon in navigation drawer.I am currently using latest navigation drawer in android studio 1.4.1 and also how can we include navigation header image view and name in our activity since the navigation header is in separate layout.
Include two navigation drawers in you layout file and assign gravity left for one and gravity right for another either dynamically or programmatically
Is there an API to increase the width/sensitivity of pulling the Navigation Drawer from the left side of the screen? For ex: as of now, I need to press my finger closely to the left of the screen to pull the drawer out. I would like to increase this sensitivity.
There is a solution. You can Set drag margin for your Navigation Drawer

Set drag margin for Android Navigation Drawer
There is no need to do that since the users could easily pop open the Navigation Drawer by pressing the title area iff you implement the DrawerListenerinterface or the more convinient ActionBarDrawerToggle class to provide the 3 horizontal line icon indicating there is Navigation Drawer being present. Then you just override the onPostCreate() method in your Activity and call ActionBarDrawerToggle.syncState() method to allow users to open the drawer by pressing about the title area.

I have implemented Google's navigation drawer and I would like to add a custom animation when I click a menu item.
Ideally the menu would slide back as if closing, leaving a small sliver of the menu open. A dialog would open with an animation, originating from the space beside the selected menu item.
Something like this..
I tried to animate the left_drawer element on the x axis using ObjectAnimator, but this displaces the whole screen.
Can anyone help?
If you want it so the drawer is only peaking, try using drawerLayout.closeDrawers(true).
According to the source though, this closes all drawers (if you have more then one).
DrawLayout source
So I'm working on adding ActionBarSherlock and the Navigation Drawer to a project that previously implemented a custom (very poorly written) "action bar". Instead of using fragments and a backstack of activities for navigation, some activities show and hide different layouts. (That is, suppose I am in a list mode and then select a button to go into an edit screen. The app currently hides the list layout and shows another layout.).
So I've added actionbar sherlock and a navigation drawer to all the activities. I want to be able to programmatically switch the navigation icon from the 3 lines to the arrow when certain buttons are pressed.
I can't figure out how to do this though. Any ideas?
Thanks!
The solution to this problem is to use the method:
setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(boolean enable)
inside the ActionBarDrawerToggle class.
After:
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
Use this code:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.select);
It depends how wedded you are to built-in actionbar artifacts. You can always redraw the current actionbar by inflating a layout of your choosing, then calling
getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
// Inflate and do whatever you need to your view...
getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(abView);
getSherlockActivity().getSupportActionBar().show();
When you want to go back to your standard (assuming you're using a DrawerLayout to do your navigation drawer), you can just set make a call to setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(false) (re-enable showHome and showTitle as you please).
As far as I know, customization of the back button can only be done via themes. Besides, swapping the drawer icon for the back icon (within the same Activity) doesn't make sense, since users would still be able to access the navigation drawer by sliding the left most edge to the right. It just wouldn't make sense.
If you absolutely need the back icon, then it would make the most sense to make that screen a new Activity since you would indeed be adding another "level" to the stack, which is what the back icon represents.
