Answer 2

You can use the following method to open the drawer using Robotium:

Solo solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
solo.setNavigationDrawer(Solo.OPENED);

Answer 3

Method 1:

solo.clickOnImageButton(0);

or

Method 2:

solo.setNavigationDrawer(Solo.OPENED);
solo.clickOnActionBarHomeButton();

Both the Methods worked for me.

Answer 4

none of the methods mentioned in documentation seem to work. Best option is to swipe rightwards

private void swipeToRight() {
        Display display = solo.getCurrentActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
        int width = display.getWidth();
        int height = display.getHeight();
        float xStart = 0 ;
        float xEnd = width / 2;
        solo.drag(xStart, xEnd, height / 2, height / 2, 1);
    }

This will do this trick.
