I am trying to implement a UI similar to that of Google+ where the android activity would have two slide out drawers, the main one from the left and that's the main menu. The secondary one from the right and that's my notifications. However, looking at DrawerLayout I can see that it does not support. Any idea how the Google+ app implements it?
Thanks in advance
I've figured out how to do it using the following layout
<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">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. A solid background is used for contrast
with the content view. -->
<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"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/right_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Funny the documentation did not mention this and when the library first came out the DrawerLayout would throw an exception if more than two children existed.
The DrawerLayout does support 2 drawers in a single layout file. Both should get a different value for their layout_gravity attribute ("left" and "right").
Example snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout 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.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Main content -->
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/nav_left"
android:layout_width="#dimen/nav_left_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left">
<!-- Content of your left drawer -->
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/nav_right"
android:layout_width="#dimen/nav_right_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right">
<!-- Content of your right drawer -->
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

I am using drawer layout and Listview is using as drawer.
My emulator just showing Listview as width set to match parent even it's set to 240dp.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/drawer Layout"
android:background="#000000">
<ListView
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/drawerList"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"/>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/fragmentContainer"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Drawer layouts are usually hidden outside of the screen until you open them. Try opening the drawer by swiping from the side.
You must use NavigationView inside DrawerLayout and limit width in NavigationView.
Example layout structure is like that , there is 2 different usage of NavigationView :
<?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"
android:id="#+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- you can add extra views in DrawerLayout -->
<include layout="#layout/content_home"/>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:menu="#menu/homepage_leftdrawer"/>
<!-- you can use listview, recyclerview etc in navigationview -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
app:headerLayout="#layout/homepage_right_header"
android:layout_gravity="end">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_slidermenu"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:dividerHeight="1dp"
android:layout_marginTop="80dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Like many apps, I use the DrawerLayout code like this:
<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="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I have some user information above the ListView so I use the addHeaderView(). However, this scrolls with the list. I would like the list to appear that it is scrolling underneath it and the header stays fixed at the top.
Is this possible? I have tried by wrapping the ListView inside a LinearLayout with the header code inside that layout as well. This completely broke the app. Are there any other ways? I have actually seen Google do this in at least one of their apps (youtube).
Wrapping your List in some kind of layout is the way to go. Maybe you just missed something. Try this:
<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="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="right">
<!--SOME HEADER-->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Is it possible to configurate two Navigation Drawers on the same activity, one from the left and the other from the right?
You can use drawer layout
<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 -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- 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"/>
<ListView android:id="#+id/right_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
ALso check the documantation https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
Make sure you are using toolbar not action bar
Yes you can add two ListView inside your drawer layout, one listview should have gravity start and other have end.
yes
Can use two navigationdrawer
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
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"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
tools:context="PackageName.ActivityName">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrol_lay"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!-- your layout -->
</ScrollView>
<!-- First navigation drawer -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view_main"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:menu="#menu/navigation_main_menu"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_header"/>
<!-- Second navigation drawer -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view_second"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
app:menu="#menu/navigation_menu"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_header"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
For maximum customization,
In your xml, you can use a FrameLayout as a container
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/contDrawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
Now in your Activity, you can replace it with any fragment
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.contDrawer, SideBarCustomerFragment.newInstance()).commit();
Now for two users, you can create 2 different fragments, You can check my boilerplate code for reference
https://github.com/hamzaahmedkhan/AndroidStructure/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/android/structure/activities/HomeActivity.java
https://github.com/hamzaahmedkhan/AndroidStructure/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/android/structure/activities/BaseActivity.java
I am perplexed as to why my onListItemClick() method is not being called.
I was reading this question on the subject, and it mentions that any other components in the layout need to be set android:focusable="false"
However, here is my layout for that class. As you can see, it has no other components:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
I checked in the layout for the parent activity, and it does have some other components, namely a drawer layout:
<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"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/fragment_container">
</FrameLayout>
<!-- A DrawerLayout is intended to be used as the top-level content view using match_parent for both width and height to consume the full space available. -->
<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">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. A solid background is used for contrast
with the content view. -->
<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>
You can see that my ListFragment is being contained in the FrameLayout called fragment_container.
Could the DrawerLayout be preventing calls to my onListItemClick() method?
And, if so, how can I set is as unfocusable (it's a pretty huge layout...where should I put the android:focusable="false")?
Solution - Set the DrawerLayout as base layout. You do not need to use a RelativeLayout outside of Drawer Layout as it is useless. This might be a hint here
Your layout should be
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<!-- Recommended to use only one as both are match_parent -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. A solid background is used for contrast
with the content view. -->
<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>
I discovered the issue. I added a FrameLayout to contain my Fragment, but I see now that the DrawerLayout already contains within it a FrameLayout (called content_frame). So I just used content_frame instead of fragment_container.
I have a view layout containing a ListView and a Button:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#5434"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:id="#+id/itemlistView" tools:ignore="ObsoleteLayoutParam"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
tools:ignore="ObsoleteLayoutParam">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button"
android:text="#string/new_item"
android:id="#+id/listview_addDebtButton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
tools:ignore="ObsoleteLayoutParam"/>
</LinearLayout>
but now i want to add a Navigation Drawer. Using the sample code from google developers. But am not sure how to do this since the sample code contains an empty content view:
<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">
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. A solid background is used for contrast
with the content view. -->
<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"/>
I however proceeded to try with this as my new layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:id="#+id/itemlistView" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button"
android:text="#string/new_item"
android:id="#+id/listview_addDebtButton"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. A solid background is used for contrast
with the content view. -->
<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"/>
This fails woefully when I try to run the app and i get a android.view.InflateException with the error message:
error inflating class DrawerLayout. Am not sure how to proceed from here. "There is a similar question that asks "How do I add navigation drawer to my existing code?" but this problem is way too complicated than mine and I can't apply the solutions to my problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Try like this:
According to docs: Drawer Layout tooks two direct children
Inside the DrawerLayout, add one view that contains the main content
for the screen (your primary layout when the drawer is hidden) and
another view that contains the contents of the navigation drawer.
From that reference I used one for FrameLayout and another one for ListView.
