How to close navigation drawer when an item is pressed from it?

Question

Ideally navigation drawer should get closed once some item has been pressed from it, but its not happening automatically. How to do it ? Thanks!

Answer 1

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);
  }
}
