How do I create a navigation drawer using the Android design support library?
In a google developer blog post. I read about a new way to create a navigation drawer using a new dependency called
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
but I haven't found an exact way to create a navigation drawer using this new dependency.
In build.gradle I added the dependency
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
in the layout file added the following code (based on google blog post)
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- your content layout -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
app:menu="@menu/drawer"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
How did I try to extend the class with ActionBarActivity but is deprecated?

Hi, please try the following steps.
Add Android Design Support Library Dependency
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'
Create a title for the navigation box
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:background="@drawable/header"
android:padding="16dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom">
<TextView
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Nirav Kalola\nnkDroid"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Create menu for navigation item items
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="nkdroid.tutorial.navigationview.MainActivity">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/navigation_item_1"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_home"
android:title="Home"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/navigation_item_2"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_info"
android:title="About Us"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/navigation_subheader"
android:title="Tutorials">
<menu>
<item
android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_1"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_image_looks_one"
android:title="Android Tutorials"/>
<item
android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_2"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_image_looks_two"
android:title="IOS Tutorials"/>
</menu>
</item>
</group>
</menu>
Create navigation view with title and elements
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!--Main content-->
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="@+id/main_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include layout="@layout/app_bar"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!--Navigation Drawer-->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/main_drawer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
app:menu="@menu/menu_drawer"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

hello @ user3739665 I'm also trying to trim the support library, but I don't think there is a correct way (because there is no sample right now). so here is my tested code, just to demonstrate how to use this library.
i change this layout as below added main snippet, you can add toolbar as well.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- your content layout -->
<!--<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />-->
<include layout="@layout/about_fragment"></include>
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_draw"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
app:menu="@menu/drawer" />
I am creating drawer.xml
for the menu and drawer_header.xml
for the user details as shown in the blog
my activity code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
Toolbar toolbar;
View root;
NavigationView nav_draw;
DrawerLayout drawer_layout;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
root = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);
setContentView(root);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
final ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar();
ab.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_menu);
ab.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
drawer_layout = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
nav_draw = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_draw);
nav_draw.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
/* getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, new AboutPagerFragment())
.commit();*/
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
drawer_layout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.navigation_item_1) {
Snackbar
.make(root, "First item Selected", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
//.setAction(R.string.snackbar_action, myOnClickListener)
.show();
}
menuItem.setChecked(true);
drawer_layout.closeDrawers();
return false;
}
/*@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}*/
}
add this to your build.gradle file
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0'
}
drawer.xml
<?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/navigation_item_1"

<item

android:title="@string/navigation_item_2" />

<item
android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_2"
android:title="@string/navigation_sub_item_2" />
</menu>
</item>
</group>
</menu>
drawer_header.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_height="130dip">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:id="@+id/textView" />
</LinearLayout>
EDIT
added navigation item, open, closed, item selection allowed

The java part might look like this:
Set your activity as a listener
navView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
And how to handle events in the same way you handle menu interaction
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
int id = menuItem.getItemId();
menuItem.setChecked(true);
drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
if (id == R.id.some_item_1) {
} else if (id == R.id.some_item_2) {
} else {
throw new IllegalStateException("Unsupported menu item");
}
return true;
}
