Android Sliding Menu Using Navigation Drawer

In most of the android applications like Facebook , Google plus ,you tube, amazon kindle ,
true caller .. etc you have seen a side menu which appears on click of an icon on top left
corner or by dragging on to the screen from left to right , so here in this tutorial we shall see
how to create the sliding menu for you android application .

Note : Drawer Layout was added to Android Support Library, revision 19.0.1
Developer site : Support library

Design Pattern
Display
By swiping from the left edge of the screen.
By touching the application icon on the action bar.
Dismiss
Touching the app icon (at top left corner) .
Touching the content outside drawer .
Swapping anywhere on the Screen .
Pressing Back
For More Brief on design visit developer site Navigation Drawer . In this tutorial we will see
an example in which i have added three items for listview , onclick of any particular item of
the list , the corresponding content will be displayed . Below is the diagrammatic
representation .

While making this tutorial i was not able to import Drawer class ,reason i have not
updated the Development environment with support library so to do that follow the
below steps (do if you are not able to import drawer class or getting error ).
1. In Eclipse right-click over the project, then choose Android Tools > Add Support
Library
2. Accept License and then click Install.

DOWNLOAD CODE
Lets See An Example

Project Detail
Project Name

SlidingMenu

Package

com.pavan.slidingmenu

Minimum SDK API 8

Target SDK

API 17

Theme

Holo Light Theme

String Constant
Before i start coding i will initialize all the strings and arrays inside the inside
res/strings.xml. and also i have kept all the images inside the drawable folder of project.
file : strings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">SlidingMenu</string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="imgdesc">imgdesc</string>
<string-array name="titles">
<item>Facebook</item>
<item>Google-Plus</item>
<item>TutorialsBuzz</item>
</string-array>
<array name="icons">
<item>@drawable/fb</item>
<item>@drawable/gplus</item>
<item>@drawable/tb</item>
</array>
</resources>
I have edited the images and added to the drawable resource directory which you can find
inside the download source code.

drawable - mdpi (48*48) drawable - hdpi (72*72) drawable - xhdpi (96*96)

Main XML Layout

Create a main layout which contains DrawerLayout as parent view and add FrameLayout
and ListView as a child to it , the framelayout act as the main content view and listview act
as menu list
file : activity_main.xml
<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" >
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/frame_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- The navigation drawer list -->
<ListView
android:id="@+id/slider_list"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

ListView Set Up
I am setting up a Custom ListView for ListView Inside which contains one ImageView and
one TextView, so create list_item.xml inside layout directory ,this layout is used to defines
the design of each row items in a list view .
file : list_tem.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:padding="5dp" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/icon"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
android:layout_marginRight="12dp"
android:contentDescription="@string/imgdesc" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon"
android:gravity="center_vertical"

 android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</RelativeLayout>

Bean Class
Create a Bean Class RowItem which is used for setting and getting row data's of each items
in ListView ( icons and titles).
file : RowItem.java
package com.pavan.slidingmenu;
public class RowItem {
private String title;
private int icon;
public RowItem(String title, int icon) {
this.title = title;
this.icon = icon;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public int getIcon() {
return icon;
}
public void setIcon(int icon) {
this.icon = icon;
}
}

Adapter
Create a Custom adapter which extends BaseAdapter , this is used for inflating each row
items of the listview .
file : CustomAdapter.java
package com.pavan.slidingmenu;
import java.util.List;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

Context context; List<RowItem> rowItem;

CustomAdapter(Context context, List<RowItem> rowItem) {
this.context = context;
this.rowItem = rowItem;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
}
ImageView imgIcon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.icon);
TextView txtTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title);
RowItem row_pos = rowItem.get(position);
// setting the image resource and title
imgIcon.setImageResource(row_pos.getIcon());
txtTitle.setText(row_pos.getTitle());
return convertView;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return rowItem.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return rowItem.get(position);
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return rowItem.indexOf(getItem(position));
}
}

Create Fragment for each Items of the ListView

Create fragment for each items of the listview , below you can see i have create fragment
for facebook item of listview.

ListView
Items

Fragments

XML Layout

Java Class

Facebook

fb_fragment.xml FB_Fragment.java

Google-Plus

gp_fragment.xml GP_Fragment.java

TutorialsBuzz tb_fragment.xml TB_Fragment.java

file : fb_fragment.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="148dp"
android:src="@drawable/fb" />
</RelativeLayout>
file : FB_Fragment.java
package com.pavan.slidingmenu.slidelist;
import com.pavan.slidingmenu.R;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public class FB_Fragment extends Fragment {
@Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle
savedInstanceState)
{
View rootView = inflater .inflate(R.layout.fb_fragment, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}

Similarly Create Two More Fragments

Handling ListView Item click listener

Create a inner class called SlideitemListener , Inside the MainActivity class , and override
onItemClick method inside this method call updateDisplay() method by passing position as
a parameter to it and then inside updateDisplay by knowing the position clicked ,we are
replacing the current fragment with the respective fragment associated with the items of
listview . you can find the updateDisplay method inside the MainActivity class .

mDrawerList.setAdapter(adapter); mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new
SlideitemListener()); ... ... ... class SlideitemListener implements

ListView.OnItemClickListener {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
updateDisplay(position);
}
}

} class SlideitemListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {

@Override

Hi,
This is indeed a great tutorial. But there is a bit problem when using drawer layout on the activity
other than root activity i.e. you can't see the image which is used to slide the menu.
for e.g. if suppose you have sequence of activities: A-->B , then you can't see the slider on the top
left corner of Activity B .

@Aprurba Mondol
Make sure to import
"import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;"
Instead of
"import android.support.v4.app.Fragment
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager"
