I am working on android application. I have to add a menu on the left side of Action Bar.
I am able to add menu on the right side but along with right side menu, I also want to add a menu on left side of Action Bar just like :
I have spent hours on searching how to achieve that left side menu, but no success.
How can I achieve that?
Thanks!
This is called Navigation Drawer
, You can look at the official android tutorial here, and this one too
You cant align menu to left .you should use customview for your actionbar
If you are not specifically into the navigational drawer, like a back button or anything you like, you can use
ActionBar actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_arrow_back_black_24dp);
and call
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() ==android.R.id.home){
//todo work here
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
