unlock drawer_layout when it is locked

Question

I have a mainactivity where I have created a method to lock/unlock the drawer_layout and locked it in the onCreate() method.

public void disable         


        

Answer 1

you have to initialize toggle again.

toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, mToolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close); mDrawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle);

After that, it unlocked.

Answer 2

After struggling a little.. nothing among other solutions in stackoverflow worked for me. My specific problem was also that I was able to lock but not to unlock the DrawerLayout.

Then I saw in documentation (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/widget/DrawerLayout#setdrawerlockmode) that there are two more functions:

void setDrawerLockMode (int lockMode, View drawerView)
void setDrawerLockMode (int resId, int edgeGravity)

The second one worked for me like a charm.

I simply specified the Gravity.LEFT parameter and now all is working perfectly.
