How to close navigation drawer when an item is pressed from it?

Question

Ideally navigation drawer should get closed once some item has been pressed from it, but its not happening automatically. How to do it ? Thanks!

Answer 1

Got it!

private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

Working perfectly fine.

Answer 2

For me this one worked -

mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.START, false);

Answer 3

closeDrawer(); // called when you want to close

public void closeDrawer() {
  if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
    mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
  }
}

Answer 4

On the right bottom of onNavigationItemSelected where the switch case ends you should right this. mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){

        }
   mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
   return true;
}
