How do I make DrawerLayout to display below the Toolbar?
6 answers
I want my drawer to open from the left below the tool bar. But, according to Material Design aspects that's not good. But still I want to do that.
Here I have changed my XML file.
---Relative Layout
-----Tool bar
-----Drawer
-------container
-------drawer List
here is my XML file. My app crashes when it opens. I don't know where I made a mistake and XML doesn't show any errors.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
layout="@layout/toolbar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/container_body"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<fragment
android:id="@+id/fragment_navigation_drawer"
android:name="com.myApp.activity.FragmentDrawer"
android:layout_width="@dimen/nav_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:layout="@layout/fragment_navigation_drawer"
tools:layout="@layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Here is the latest solution for material design
<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="@dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!--content_main is my layout you can design your own-->
<include layout="@layout/content_main" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content"
layout="@layout/content_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Hope it helps
I have created New XML file main_activity_appbar and added tool bar first and in same layout file I added my Drawer Layout. and in mainAcitity.java file I changed layout of that file.
main_activity_appbar.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
layout="@layout/toolbar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/container_body"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<fragment
android:id="@+id/fragment_navigation_drawer"
android:name="com.myApp.activity.FragmentDrawer"
android:layout_width="@dimen/nav_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:layout="@layout/fragment_navigation_drawer"
tools:layout="@layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
MainActivity.java
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_appbar);
This is working fine.
