You need to create a Base activity
which does all the common Drawer navigation
stuff . I will call this base Activity
as DrawerActivity
, and all other Activity
should extend this DrawerActivity
. So all the Activity
will have one instance of Drawer Layout
.
Create a common Layout with DrawerLayout
and place a FrameLayout
and ListView
as child
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/activity_frame”/>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/left_drawer”/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Now set this Layout in onCreate()
on DrawerActivity
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_drawer_layout);
// do other stuff to initialize drawer layout, add list items
………
……….
// add a listener to the drawer list view
mLeftDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
}
Add a item click listener
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
switch (position) {
case 0: {
Intent intent = new Intent(DrawerActivity.this, YourActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
}
default:
break;
}
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mLeftDrawerList);
}
}
Finally, All the other activity will extend this DrawerActivity
public class MainActivity extends DrawerActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// don’t set any content view here, since its already set in DrawerActivity
FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.activity_frame);
// inflate the custom activity layout
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View activityView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null,false);
// add the custom layout of this activity to frame layout.
frameLayout.addView(activityView);
// now you can do all your other stuffs
}
}
