Answer 1

In the navigation drawer activtiy change your layout like this :

    
    //
    //
    // Tab layout to show tabs
    //
    //
    





    //
    //
    //ViewPager to show tab's fragments
    //
    //

    
    


    

Now in your Activity Java code inside onCreate() add these lines :

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           .
           .
           .
           .

    ViewPager vp_pages= (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.vp_pages);
    PagerAdapter pagerAdapter=new FragmentAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
    vp_pages.setAdapter(pagerAdapter);

    TabLayout tbl_pages= (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tbl_pages);
    tbl_pages.setupWithViewPager(vp_pages);

    }

Now outside onCreate() method create the fragment adapter :

class FragmentAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    public FragmentAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        switch (position){
            case 0:
                return new YourFragment1();
            case 1:
                return new YourFragment2();
            case 2:
                return new YourFragment3();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 3;
    }


    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        switch (position){
            //
            //Your tab titles
            //
            case 0:return "Profile";
            case 1:return "Search";
            case 2: return "Contacts";
            default:return null;
        }
    }
}

Output :

Cheers, Happy coding.
