Navigation drawer Items not registering click event

Question

I am struggling to get the Navigation drawer items to register and start and intent for a new activity. The drawer opens fine and is displayed correctly but nothing happens

Answer 1

Fixed a similar issue by adding drawerView.bringToFront(); to

@Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {

} 

Answer 2

If you have a list in Navigation Drawer then just write the code and make listview clickable:

list.bringToFront();
drawerLayout.requestLayout(); 

Answer 3

I also had a problem with not responding on clicks navigation driver. Somehow I have found a solution: problem was in XML file. I used this and my problem was gone:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
     space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/content_frame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
     this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
     languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
     The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
     the container. A solid background is used for contrast
     with the content view. -->


<ListView
    android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
    android:layout_width="240dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
    android:dividerHeight="0dp"
    android:background="#ffff"/>

hope this will be usefull.

It seems like the your DrawerItemClickListener.class does not work as the only time the selectItem() method is called is at the end of your activities onCreate() at selectItem(0);

Instead of calling

mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());

you can use this as a parameter and let you Activity implement the ListView.OnItemClickListener itself.

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        [...]
        mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);

        [...]
        mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(this);
        [...]
     }

    [...]    

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        selectItem(position);
    }

    private void selectItem(int position) {
        switch (position) {
            case 1:
                [...]
                startActivity(new Intent(this, SplashScreen.class));
                break;
            [...]
            default:
            break;
        }
        [...]
    }
    [...]
}

Answer 5

The problem is the z ordering. When you expand the list in onDrawerOpened put:

mDrawerList.bringToFront();
mDrawerLayout.requestLayout();

Answer 6

You should check if you have android:animateLayoutChanges="true" attribute on ListView parent(in layout resource). Removing that attribute worked for me.
