How to detect if navigation drawer is open?

Question

The title explains it all. All what I want to do is to know if the navigation drawer is open or not. I searched a lot on the net and found the method isDrawerOpen(int drawerGravity)but couldn't find a satisfactory answer which explains how to use it in a method. I would appreciate if anyone explains it to me.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Assuming you have defined a drawerlayout in xml:

DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
...
if(mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
  //drawer is open
}

Answer 2

Detect DrawerLayout opened, closed, slide DrawerLayout.DrawerListener

DrawerLayout drawerLayout:
drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(new DrawerLayout.DrawerListener() {
    /**
     * Called when a drawer's position changes.
     *
     * @param slideOffset The new offset of this drawer within its range, from 0-1
     *                    Example when you slide drawer from left to right, slideOffset will increase from 0 - 1 (0 when drawer closed and 1 when drawer display full)
     */
    @Override
    public void onDrawerSlide(@NonNull View drawerView, float slideOffset) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerOpened(@NonNull View drawerView) {
        // do something when drawer opened
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerClosed(@NonNull View drawerView) {
        // do something when drawer closed
    }

    /**
     * Called when the drawer motion state changes. The new state will
     * be one of {@link #STATE_IDLE}, {@link #STATE_DRAGGING} or {@link #STATE_SETTLING}.
     */
    @Override
    public void onDrawerStateChanged(int newState) {

    }
});

Check Drawer is opened

if(drawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) // or  GravityCompat.END

 mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this,                  /* host Activity */
            mDrawerLayout,         /* DrawerLayout object */
            R.drawable.ic_drawer,  /* nav drawer icon to replace 'Up' caret */
            R.string.drawer_open,  /* "open drawer" description */
            R.string.drawer_close  /* "close drawer" description */
            ) {

        /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(view);
            getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
        }

        /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            getActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
        }
    };

    // Set the drawer toggle as the DrawerListener
    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

That listener use:)

Answer 4

Use:

mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen() method

Example:

    if(mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.LEFT); //CLOSE Nav Drawer!
    }else{
        mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT); //OPEN Nav Drawer!
    }

Answer 5

By the following way you can find the Drawer is open or close..

 public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements  DrawerLayout.DrawerListener {

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_dash_board);

        DrawerLayout drawer=(DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.container);
        drawer.setDrawerListener(this);
    }//onCreate()

    @Override
    public void onDrawerOpened(View arg0) {
      //write your code
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerClosed(View arg0) {
        //write your code
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerSlide(View arg0, float arg1) {
        //write your code
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerStateChanged(int arg0) {
        //write your code
    }
}//class

Answer 6

shakeJ's answer its the correct one, and remember you can use the onDrawerSlide to be able to fire other functions... for example I used it to change the StatusBar Color.

        /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(view);
            isOpen = false;
        }

        /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            isOpen = true;
        }
        public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView,float slideOffset){
            super.onDrawerSlide(drawerView,slideOffset);
            if(!isOpen){
                setStatusBarColor("#00102b");
            }
            if(isOpen){
                setStatusBarColor("#EFEFF0");
            }
        }
