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!

If you have mDrawerLayout as your drawer layout, you can close it when it is open.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (this.mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        this.mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}
