I have an application, in which i want to implement a double drawer - one from the left and one from the right. Left drawer is for app navigation, right drawer is for result filtering.
So, the layout is like this:
<?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">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/light_grey"
android:orientation="vertical">
<GridView
android:id="@+id/gridview"
style="@style/GridViewStyle"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:horizontalSpacing="7dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
android:verticalSpacing="7dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#111"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/right_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:background="#111"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
You can clearly see here "left_drawer" and "right_drawer", and their respective gravity - "start" and "end" And this actually works! You can pull them both out.
The problem is, when i implement the DrawerToggle - it only opens the left drawer, and does not close the right one, so if the right drawer is opened and i press the DrawerToggle button - the left drawers opens ALSO, and overlaps the right drawer.
There are a couple of solutions i'am trying to get:
And i haven't figured how to do that, because DrawerToggle accepts the DrawerLayout itself as a parameter, and not the individual drawers...
I am using the Support Library.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.
You can call it like this in a ToggleButton's handler for example :
mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawer);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawer);
Where mDrawer is a reference to the specific drawer you need to open (be it a view or a layout), in your case, the actual ListView you wish to display.
