I am implementing a navigation drawer for my app. Now it works perfectly except for one small glitch. When I set the Navigation Drawer Icon (ic_drawer) to replace the regular "HomeAsUp" caret icon, I still get the arrow. The Nav Drawer icon does not show. I have implemented every method that was on the android developers website. But it doesn't seem to work.
Below is my code:
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
FrameLayout leftDrawer, rightDrawer, contentFrame;
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
initializeViews();
}
private void initializeViews() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.mDrawerLayout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,
mDrawerLayout, R.drawable.ic_drawer,
R.string.drawer_open_content_desc,
R.string.drawer_close_content_desc);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
leftDrawer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLeft_frame);
rightDrawer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerRight_frame);
contentFrame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.content_frame);
}
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.home, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I know it is quite late to answer this but this would help someone atleast.
You should probably add these lines of code to show that navigation icon.
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
