How to disable drawer option in specific fragments of an activity

Question

I have an activity with 5 fragments, I used drawer layout in my activity for a drawer, but I want to use(enable) the drawer in only fragment 2 and I want to disable the drawer option in remaining fragments.

Can any one help me how to do this?

Answer 1

Put two methods in the your activity, one to disable the drawer and one to enable it again, like so:

public void lockDrawer() {
    drawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
}


public void unlockDrawer() {
    drawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
}

Then in your fragments onCreateView(...) method put:

fragmentInteractionListener.lockDrawer();

for the fragments where the drawer should stay shut and for the fragments where the drawer should stay open put:

fragmentInteractionListener.unlockDrawer();

P.S: for tutorials in how to correctly implement a fragment interaction listener see:
