Use the instance of DrawerLayout and call this function DrawerLayout.closeDrawers(); — Hassan Jamil, Jul 29 '16 at 12:26
i am using a separate java file for handling the functionality of the drawer, and the problem is that java file don't have drawerlayout in its xml so i am not able to get the reference of the drawer there. — Piyush jain, Aug 01 '16 at 05:45

You can use drawerLayout.closeDrawers(); to close the NavigationDrawer before you go to another Activity

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

closeDrawer(); // called when you want to close

  public void closeDrawer() 
  {
     if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START))
     {
        mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
     }
 }

Use closeDrawer() method to close the drawer and start your other activity on the listener of drawer.

For Example.

@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
    super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);

    //Start your activity
}

I think you missed closeDrawer() just call this method before launching other on click of Navigation Item Intent

 drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.END);

 @SuppressWarnings("StatementWithEmptyBody")
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) { 
int id = item.getItemId();
    // Create a new fragment and specify the fragment to show based on nav item clicked
    Fragment fragment = null;
    Class fragmentClass = null;
    if (id == R.id.nav_item1) {
        fragmentClass = home.class;
        // Handle the camera action
    } 
 DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
if(fragmentClass.newInstance() instanceof Fragment) {
            fragment = (Fragment) fragmentClass.newInstance();

            if (fragmentClass.getSimpleName().equals("home")) {

                // Insert the fragment by replacing any existing fragment
                FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

                fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.home_layout, fragment).commit();
                // Highlight the selected item has been done by NavigationView
                item.setChecked(true);
                // Set action bar title
                setTitle(item.getTitle());
                // Close the navigation drawer
                drawer.closeDrawers();
            }
        }

Just add closeDrawer() inside onNavigationItemSelected() to close the drawer on selecting any item on Navigation Drawer.

@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //write your if logic here

    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START,true);
    return false;
}

Probably the navigation view is not in the front. Try getting it to front by mNavigationView.bringToFront();.
