How to Display Navigation Drawer in all activities?
I have a Navigation Drawer which should appear in all my activities.
I saw many questions similar to this & found a solution like Extending the MainActivity with the Other Activities .
So i extended My Main Activity to my Second Activity.But the Drawer is not being showed in the Second Activity
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
private ListView mDrawerList;
private DrawerLayout mDrawer;
private CustomActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private String[] menuItems;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
supportRequestWindowFeature(WindowCompat.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
// getSupportActionBar().hide();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_drawer);
// enable ActionBar app icon to behave as action to toggle nav drawer
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer
// opens
mDrawer.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
_initMenu();
mDrawerToggle = new CustomActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawer);
mDrawer.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
}
private void _initMenu()
{
NsMenuAdapter mAdapter = new NsMenuAdapter(this);
// Add Header
mAdapter.addHeader(R.string.ns_menu_main_header);
// Add first block
menuItems = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.ns_menu_items);
String[] menuItemsIcon = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.ns_menu_items_icon);
int res = 0;
for (String item : menuItems)
{
int id_title = getResources().getIdentifier(item, "string", this.getPackageName());
int id_icon = getResources().getIdentifier(menuItemsIcon[res], "drawable", this.getPackageName());
NsMenuItemModel mItem = new NsMenuItemModel(id_title, id_icon);
// if (res==1) mItem.counter=12; //it is just an example...
// if (res==3) mItem.counter=3; //it is just an example...
mAdapter.addItem(mItem);
res++;
}
mAdapter.addHeader(R.string.ns_menu_main_header2);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
if (mDrawerList != null)
mDrawerList.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
}
@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);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.control_menu, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
/* Called whenever we call invalidateOptionsMenu() */
@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
// If the nav drawer is open, hide action items related to the content
// view
boolean drawerOpen = mDrawer.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList);
menu.findItem(R.id.action_keyboard).setVisible(!drawerOpen);
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
/*
* The action bar home/up should open or close the drawer.
* ActionBarDrawerToggle will take care of this.
*/
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item))
{
return true;
}
// Handle your other action bar items...
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
private class CustomActionBarDrawerToggle extends ActionBarDrawerToggle
{
public CustomActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity mActivity, DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout)
{
super(mActivity, mDrawerLayout, R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.ns_menu_open, R.string.ns_menu_close);
}
@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View view)
{
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(getString(R.string.ns_menu_close));
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to
// onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
@Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView)
{
getSupportActionBar().setTitle(getString(R.string.ns_menu_open));
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to
// onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
}
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener
{
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Tutorial.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
SecondActivity
public class Tutorial extends MainActivity
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.help);
}
}
Answer
Here is my implementation.. hope it help
FIRST, this POST is concept.
SECOND, this is also the KEY one.
FINALLY, Here is combination of all answer in one place
BASE ACTIVITY
This is a base activity for all other activity
You can extends Activity or FragmentActivity or etc. base on your requirement.
Navigation Drawer setup here for one time.
public class BaseActivity extends FragmentActivity {
protected DrawerLayout mDrawer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.base_layout);
mDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
//This is about creating custom listview for navigate drawer
//Implementation for NavigateDrawer HERE !
ArrayList<DrawerListItem> drawerListItems = new ArrayList<DrawerListItem>();
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(0,"AIR° DEVICES"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(1,"A/C Device [1]"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(1,"A/C Device [2]"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(1,"A/C Device [3]"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(0,"AIR° FEATURES"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(2,"SLEEP MODE"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(2,"TRACKING MODE"));
drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(2,"SETTINGS"));
DrawerAdapter mDrawerAdapter = new DrawerAdapter(this, R.layout.drawer_list_header, drawerListItems);
ListView mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(mDrawerAdapter);
}
}
BASE ACTIVITY XML
This xml layout is for Navigation Drawer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView
android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:scrollingCache="false"
android:background="@drawable/drawer_bg"
android:divider="@null"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
ALL OTHERS ACTIVITY
Other Activity just extends BaseActivity and define code as below.
The Navigation Drawer will appear for particular activity.
mDrawer is form BaseActivity. it's a protected variable.
public class Screen1 extends BaseActivity
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
//inflate your activity layout here!
View contentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.screen1, null, false);
mDrawer.addView(contentView, 0);
//Do the rest as you want for each activity
}
SCREEN 1 XML SAMPLE
Design as you wish it each activity. no more Navigation Drawer Layout !
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</LinearLayout>
NOTE
In this implementation, The Navigation Drawer doesn't bind with Action Bar. If you wish to do that do it in BaseActivity.Also, This guide is not cover all requirement. It's just a sample.
