I know that this question has already been asked here but it doesn't have a proper explanation and code. I am a beginner in android development so can anyone please explain me with code How to make a navigation drawer without an action bar

Answer 1

Just add your DrawerLayout like @mohan did, then if you have a button or something you tap on and want to open the drawer, just do like this :

drawer.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT);

and to close :

drawer.closeDrawer(Gravity.LEFT);

Answer 2

Starting from the Sample Android NavigationDrawer app:

1. Use the Activity theme: Theme.NoTitleBar
2. Erase all the ActionBar references in the code

3. Create a button and in the clickListener call:

   drawer.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT);
