Answer 1

Simplified version of Noundla's answer which works for me. I wrote my custom Drawer which extends DrawerLayout and implement dispatchTouchEvent() method.

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (!this.isDrawerOpen(Gravity.LEFT)) {
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
    }
    boolean isOutSideClicked = false;
    if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
        View content = findViewById(R.id.drawer_view); 
        int[] contentLocation = new int[2];
        content.getLocationOnScreen(contentLocation);
        Rect rect = new Rect(contentLocation[0],
                contentLocation[1],
                contentLocation[0] + content.getWidth(),
                contentLocation[1] + content.getHeight());
        isOutSideClicked = !(rect.contains((int) event.getX(), (int) event.getY()));
    }
    this.setDrawerLockMode(isOutSideClicked ? DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_OPEN : DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
}

Also if you want to keep interact with main content fragment while drawer is open you should add this line at the beginning of the method.

getChildAt(0).dispatchTouchEvent(event);
