Make Android Lollipop Navigation Drawer Using AppCompat 21
Android material
design navigation drawer gives smooth animation when you swipe across
the screen from left edge. You may see this and think about how to
implement same functionality in older versions, But now not to worry
because using android appcompat v-7.21.0.+ support library, we can give same effect to older versions of android app.
Logic:
Before we start, make sure you update to latest SDK. Create new Project in Android Studio, then add appcompat-v7.21.0.+ and appcompat-v4.21.0.+ libraries in your buid.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.poovarasan.lollipopdrawer"
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.2'
}
Add primaryColor and primarycolorDark in your color.xml file.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="primaryColor">#2196F3</color>
<color name="primaryColorDark">#0D47A1</color>
</resources>
Add drawer open/close string value in your strings.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">Lollipop Drawer</string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="drawer_open">open</string>
<string name="drawer_close">close</string>
</resources>
Your activity_my.xml layout file looks like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

<include layout="@layout/toolbar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/drawerLayout"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- activity view -->
<RelativeLayout

<TextView
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000"

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Your toolbar.xml layout file looks like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Your MyActivity.java looks like this:Here your activity must extends ActionBarActivity and set your toolbar as support actionbar.

}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my, menu);
return true;
}
@Override

if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
if (drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
