How do I add icons to Android Studio's Navigation Drawer Template?
I am currently working on an app where icons next to the text of each drawer is required. I am aiming for the layout of the icons to look like the following:
I've searched the internet and cannot seem to find any examples that work directly with the Android Studio Navigation Drawer template. Here's my code.
MainActivity.java:

*/

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mTitle = getTitle();
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
}
@Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1))
.commit();
}

How do I rework this code so I can add specific icons next to each drawer item?
Thanks!!
Answer
Changing this:
public void onSectionAttached(int number) {
switch (number) {
case 1:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section1);
break;
case 2:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section2);
break;
case 3:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section3);
break;
}
}
With this:
public void onSectionAttached(int number) {
String[] stringArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.section_titles);
if (number >= 1) {
mTitle = stringArray[number - 1];
}
}
Changing this:
mDrawerListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getActionBar().getThemedContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1,
android.R.id.text1,
new String[]{
getString(R.string.title_section1),
getString(R.string.title_section2),
getString(R.string.title_section3),
}));
With this:
final TypedArray typedArray = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.sections_icons);
mDrawerListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getActionBar().getThemedContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1,
android.R.id.text1,
getResources().getStringArray(R.array.sections)
) {
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
int resourceId = typedArray.getResourceId(position, 0);
Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(resourceId);
((TextView) v).setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(drawable, null, null, null);
return v;
}
});
And add this in strings.xml
<string-array name="sections">
<item>Section X1</item>
<item>Section X2</item>
<item>Section X3</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="section_titles">
<item>Section T1</item>
<item>Section T2</item>
<item>Section T3</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="sections_icons">
<item>@android:drawable/ic_delete</item>
<item>@android:drawable/ic_dialog_alert</item>
<item>@android:drawable/ic_btn_speak_now</item>
</string-array>
