I am trying to get the navigation drawer to open below the toolbar.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width = "match_parent"
android:layout_height = "wrap_content">
<include layout="@layout/toolbar"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"/>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/background_color"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_marginTop="56dp"
android:layout_gravity="start">
</ListView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
How do I reformat the xml so that the navigation bar opens below the toolbar?
You should move DrawerLayout
as top parent and move Toolbar
out of DrawerLayout
content container.
In short this looks like:
RelativeLayout
----Toolbar
----DrawerLayout
---ContentView
---DrawerList
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/top_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<include
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
layout="@layout/toolbar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/background_color" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/drawer"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_marginTop="56dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
However, Material Design guidelines state that Navigation Drawer should be above the Toolbar
.
