Navigation drawer doesn't close

Question

The navigation drawer in my app is not closing. I am using activities instead of fragments. When i click on any item in the listview, it opens other activities as i

Answer 1

In continuation to others answers and @ Chinmay Dabke question of 'but the drawer closes half then pauses and then closes fully' in one of the comments, here is what you could do:

first as others suggested, this line is missing. drawer.closeDrawer(navList);

And as far as the pausing of drawer is concerned while closing, you could do something like this. use a Runnable and a Handler like this:

mRunnable = = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
         //say
         selectItem(pos); //Implement your switch case logic in this func
    }
}

and then in the onDrawerClosed overrided method

@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {

if (mRunnable != null) {
    mHandler.post(mRunnable);
    mRunnable = null;
}
}

Hope this helps!

I would suggest you to use fragments for navigation drawer and to solve this issue of drawer not closing properly, I found this article very useful (using fragments). http://www.michenux.net/android-asynctask-in-fragment-best-pratices-725.html
