Android: Navigation-Drawer on all activities

Question

I want to add navigation drawer on all actvities of my Android project. This is the code of the MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

         


        

Answer 1

The easy way is that you should create fragments. If you are ready to for little hard thing then this is for you. It will let you have same navigation drawer in all activities.

Create drawer_n_activity.xml

Your DrawerActivity.class

public class DrawerActivity extends Activity {

    public RelativeLayout fullLayout;
    public FrameLayout frameLayout;

    @Override
    public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {

        fullLayout = (RelativeLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.drawer_n_activity, null);
        frameLayout = (FrameLayout) fullLayout.findViewById(R.id.drawer_frame);

        getLayoutInflater().inflate(layoutResID, frameLayout, true);

        super.setContentView(fullLayout);

        //Your drawer content...

    }
}

Now, to include same Navigation Drawer in all your activities and mind one more thing, all your activities must extend DrawerActivity

public class MainActivity extends DrawerActivity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); //layout for 1st activity
   }
}

public class SecondActivity extends DrawerActivity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.second_activity); //layout for 2nd activity
   }
}
