You can use setScrimColor(int color) method. As default color is used 0x99000000. So if you don't want faded background, set transparent color in this method.

mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));

`getColor()` is deprecated. You can use: `mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), android.R.color.transparent));` – eldivino87 Mar 16 '16 at 12:20
The text colour got back to normal but the icons i have used in the items in the nav drawer are still kind of faded. Why so ? – Femn Dharamshi Dec 10 '18 at 18:24

Addition to koso's answer: you can directly call the colors from Color class like this:

mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

drawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.parseColor("#99000000"));

// For dark fading effect

or

drawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.parseColor("#33000000"));

// For light fading effect

or

drawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

// For no Fading

This is helpful, but each line is missing a trailing closing parenthesis, and the final line should read `drawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);`. – Greg Brown May 16 '16 at 13:47

You can set a custom shadow:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
