Open NavigationView only clicking on top-left icon but not with swype gesture

Question

I am implementing the navigation view in my app.

Actually, I can open it both clicking on "hamburger" icon (in my toolbar) and swypeing from left to right.

I want to open it only through the icon in my toolbar disabling the swype. Is it possible to do that?

DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, sToolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);

toggle.syncState();

EDIT

DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED); // HERE
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, sToolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);

toggle.syncState();

If I use the code above, where I used DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED, I disable both icon and swype.

No, this is not a duplicate. It's asking to keep hamburger icon enabled and disable left swipe gesture. I had the same question. — Heisenberg, Jun 29 '16 at 11:18

This works for my case

Lock it:

drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

And unlock it :

drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);

Hope to help!

hmm intresting .. did you have listener of drawer button for opening the layout – Kristiyan Varbanov Mar 14 '16 at 12:46
if you try to lock your drawer after toggle.syncState(); , did this change do the trick? – Kristiyan Varbanov Mar 14 '16 at 12:49
I have no listener to open the drawer. I'm not overriding DrawerListener. – eldivino87 Mar 14 '16 at 13:12

To make only the click work on the hamburger icon and not the swipe, i did the following,

DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);

ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, mDrawerLayout, mToolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
mDrawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

mToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
            mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        }
    });

You should also override onDrawerSlide and relock when the drawer is closed (slideoffset==0)... — Ernstjan Freriks, Nov 03 '17 at 13:11
