I have two problems with the drawer submenu (I use the drawer example generated with the Android Studio wizard)
First problem
I try to select de subitems, for example if I click on "Tools" the selecteItem "effect" its works fine, but when I try to click on "Share" or "Send" and the selectedItem "effect" is not works:
(This is crazy because is the Android example, I suppose that this is an official example and should be work fine)
Second problem
I have another example which have a lot of items (for example 15 items with subitems), so when I click on the last, after that, when I try to open the drawer, this is automatically scroll to top. son I can not see the last item selected. I need that the scroll works automatically to the selected item. Is this possible?
Example code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_camera"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_camera"
android:title="Import" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_gallery"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:title="Gallery" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_slideshow"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
android:title="Slideshow" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_manage"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_manage"
android:title="Tools" />
</group>
<item android:title="Communicate">
<menu>
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_share"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_share"
android:title="Share" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_send"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_send"
android:title="Send" />
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
for your first problem just add group to your items android:checkableBehavior like first item group
<item android:title="Communicate">
<menu>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_share"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_share"
android:title="Share" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_send"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_send"
android:title="Send" />
</group>
</menu>
</item>
and for second problem as for as i know it maintain selected item automatically check this after changing the android:checkableBehavior
