Custom navigation drawer with activity & fragment

This is the code of the main activity, that contains a lateral menu with three button, what that i want to do is :
Modify this code and replace the action in the "listener" of the buttons in lateral menu, now when i press a button, a new fragment is created, but i want create a new activity (NOT a fragment), maintaining the layout (lateral menu).
How i can do this ?

*********** EDIT 1 ***********
I try this method:
I replace this part :
private void selectItem(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 0:
fragment = new CreateFragment();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new ReadFragment();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new HelpFragment();
break;
default:
break;
}
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(mNavigationDrawerItemTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
}
with this:
private void selectItem(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment = null;
switch (position) {
case 0:
break;
case 1:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyCustomActivity.class);
startActivity(intent)
break;
case 2:
Intent intent2 = new Intent(this, MyCustomActivity.class);
startActivity(intent2)
break;
default:
break;
}
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(mNavigationDrawerItemTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
But when i try on my device, the button doesn'n work as if I had not binded action

Create a new Activity Extending your MainActivity which is having the Navigation Drawer.This new Activity will automatically have the navigation Drawer.
Check this answer for further details :
Same Navigation Drawer in different Activities

Did you try to inflate to a new Activity instead of creating a new Fragment in private void selectItem(int position) { ... } I mean, when you get the position, to create an Intent for the current activity Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourCustomActivity.class); and to navigate to it with startActivity(intent)

Android widget, launch a Fragment?

I currentley have an adroid widget, that when clicked on launches an activity. I have changed my whole app to fragments in order to use the android navigation drawer, and I am not sure how to launch my fragment when my widget is clicked.
My widget code which launches an activity is:
public class SearchWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch ExampleActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Search.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener
// to the button
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_search);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.searchclick, pendingIntent);
// Tell the AppWidgetManager to perform an update on the current app widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
}
How can I launch a fragment, but also launch it in my view which hold my drawer also?

The main drawer uses this xml which has a fragment for the navigation drawer and one for the actual fragments that get loaded. The MainDrawer activity above initiates with the statistics fragment. I want my widget to launch with the below xml but not initiate the statistics fragment. I want it to load another fragments.
XML:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

So it looks like you already have a good framework in place that'll make this easy. First, define a value for an extra to pass in with your launch intent:
public class MainDrawer2 extends Activity {
public static final String EXTRA_DEFAULT_FRAGMENT = "my.package.name.EXTRA_DEFAULT_FRAGMENT";
public static final int FRAGMENT_STATISTICS = 0;
public static final int FRAGMENT_DISCOVER = 1;
//... etc.
Then, in your onCreate(), where you current call displayView(0), do something like:
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
Intent i = getIntent();
// Default to the stats fragment if a default wasn't supplied
int defaultView = i.getIntExtra(EXTRA_DEFAULT_FRAGMENT, FRAGMENT_STATISTICS);
displayView(defaultView);
}
This way, you can create your PendingIntent with your Activity launch Intent, but when you do so, simply include the default fragment extra:
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainDrawer2.class);
i.putExtra(MainDrawer2.EXTRA_DEFAULT_FRAGMENT, MainDrawer2.FRAGMENT_DISCOVER);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, i, 0);

Here's an example of doing what you want.

How to make my menu items do something?

yes you can do that in onOptionsItemSelected event.
onOptionsItemSelected has a paremeter of type MenuItem . you can see the paremeter here onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item).
Just pick item.getTitle and do what you want according to the selected item

Replace OtherActivity.class and anotherActivity.class with your actual activity class names and you are done.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
if (item.getTitle()=="View 1")
{
Intent newActivity = new Intent(this,OtherActivity.class );
startActivity(newActivity);
}
else
{
Intent newActivity = new Intent(this,anotherActivity.class);
startActivity(newActivity);
}
return MenuChoice(item);
}

USe fragments to get xml layouts

I downloaded a sample code from android developer site. The code was to implement the drawer menu using fragments images from the drawer folder. I would like to know how to use fragments to get xml layouts from the layout folder. Here is the MainActivity code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
private String[] mPlanetTitles;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mPlanetTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer opens
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
// set up the drawer's list view with items and click listener
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPlanetTitles));
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
// enable ActionBar app icon to behave as action to toggle nav drawer
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
// ActionBarDrawerToggle ties together the the proper interactions
// between the sliding drawer and the action bar app icon
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, /* host Activity */
mDrawerLayout, /* DrawerLayout object */
R.drawable.ic_drawer, /* nav drawer image to replace 'Up' caret */
R.string.drawer_open, /* "open drawer" description for accessibility */
R.string.drawer_close /* "close drawer" description for accessibility */
) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
selectItem(0);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
/* Called whenever we call invalidateOptionsMenu() */
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// If the nav drawer is open, hide action items related to the content view
boolean drawerOpen = mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_websearch).setVisible(!drawerOpen);
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// The action bar home/up action should open or close the drawer.
// ActionBarDrawerToggle will take care of this.
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle action buttons
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_websearch:
// create intent to perform web search for this planet
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH);
intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, getActionBar().getTitle());
// catch event that there's no activity to handle intent
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.app_not_available, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
/* The click listner for ListView in the navigation drawer */
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
#Override

here you are defining a fragments layout from XML file. Is that what you are asking for?

Android Navigation Drawer BaseActivity sample

Can someone suggest me a tutorial how to create a BaseActivity for the Android Navigation Drawer ?
Or can anyone post a sample BaseActivity for the Navigation Drawer including the layout ?

You can achieve this with the help of fragments. Go through following which have sample code and video tutorial.
