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);
}
}
in onCreate
of TutorialActivity
don't call setContentView
instead do this:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View contentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.help, null, false);
mDrawer.addView(contentView, 0);
}
make mDrawer
in MainActivity
protected. and in R.layout.activity_main_drawer
just keep drawer tag and the element with gravity left(or right).
