<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="drawer_open">open</string>
<string name="drawer_close">close</string>

import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MyActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
private DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;
private ListView leftDrawerList;
private ArrayAdapter<String> navigationDrawerAdapter;
private String[] leftSliderData = {"Home", "Android", "Sitemap", "About", "Contact Me"};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
nitView();
if (toolbar != null) {
toolbar.setTitle("Navigation Drawer");
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
initDrawer();
}
private void nitView() {
leftDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout);
navigationDrawerAdapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>( MyActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, leftSliderData);
leftDrawerList.setAdapter(navigationDrawerAdapter);
}
private void initDrawer() {
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {
@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
}
@Override
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
}
};
drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
}
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
drawerToggle.syncState();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
drawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
if (drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
