Open next activity only after navigation drawer completes it closing animation

Question

I\'m using Navigation Drawer in my application.

When the user clicks on any of the menu item in drawer, it opens a new Activity (not fr

Answer 1

I did this somehow similiar to Jan.

Select an item

If an item gets clicked, i save its id and close the Drawer:

navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener()
    {
        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem)
        {
            clickedItem = menuItem.getItemId();
            drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
            return true;
        }
    });

Listen for drawer close

If the Drawer gets closed i listen for it and check if an item has been clicked. If it has i call my method to handle the navigation click.

drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(activity, drawerLayout, R.string.accessibility_open_nav, R.string.accessibility_open_nav)
    {
        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView)
        {
            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);

            if(clickedItem != 0)
            {
                handleNavigationClick();
            }
        }
    };

drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);

Handle the click

Here i react to the item click on open intents in this case (simplified). You need to reset the clickedItem here to 0. That is, because if you go back to an activity, open and close the drawer, it would still have the clickedItem number and would handle the click again.

private void handleItemClick()
{
    switch (clickedItem)
    {
        case R.id.item_1:
            do_something_1;
            break;

        case R.id.item_2:
            do_something_2;
            break;
    }

    clickedItem = 0;
}
