DrawerLayout's item click - When is the right time to replace fragment?

Question

I\'m developing an application which uses the navigation drawer pattern (With DrawerLayout).

Each click on a drawer\'s item, replaces the fragment in the main contai

I know this question is old but I ran into the same problem and figured I would post my solution as I think it is a better implementation than adding a hardcoded delay time. What I did was use the onDrawerClosed function to verify that the drawer IS closed before doing my task.

//on button click...
private void displayView(int position) {
    switch (position) {
    //if item 1 is selected, update a global variable `"int itemPosition"` to be 1
    case 1:
        itemPosition = 1;
        //();
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }

    // update selected item and title, then close the drawer
    mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
    mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
    mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList); //close drawer
}

and then in onDrawerClosed, open the corresponding activity.

public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
    getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
    // calling onPrepareOptionsMenu() to show action bar icons
    supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
    if (itemPosition == 1) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(BaseActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}
