I am using the new navigation drawer available from the support library. When using the drawer along with tabs, the drawer menu is getting displayed below the tabs as shown below. How can i make sure the drawer menu is shown on the tabs. (It should display the drawer menu as if there are no tabs)

I got the same issue and the answer I got from Roman Nurik (Android team) is that the Navigation Drawer should not be used with the Action Bar tabs.
