I'm trying to make navigation view open from Right-to-Left, but I fail. I've seen many questions, and what they say seems to be incomplete.
Here's what I've done based on these questions:
- Creating a new project in Android Studio
- Selecting the Navigation Drawer Activity template as the default template for the main activity (naming it
MainActivity
)
- Going to
activity_main.xml
and setting layout_gravity="right"
for NavigationView
- Then in the
MainActivity.java
set all GravityCompat.START
s to Gravity.RIGHT
But when I run the app, and click on the drawer toggle inside the action bar, I get this error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No drawer view found with gravity LEFT
at android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout.openDrawer(DrawerLayout.java:1651)

Please help.
Actually the problem is with the ActionBarDrawerToggle constructor
Apart from above changes you have mentioned you should also try this
Step 1: Remove the toolbar parameter from the ActionBarDrawerToggle constructor.It should be like this now
toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
Step 2:
customize your options menu to use it for navigation drawer
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
MenuItem itemCart = menu.findItem(R.id.action_burger);
LayerDrawable icon = (LayerDrawable) itemCart.getIcon();
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_burger:
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
if(drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.END)) {
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.END);
}else
drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.END);
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
