Navigation drawer doesn't close

Question

The navigation drawer in my app is not closing. I am using activities instead of fragments. When i click on any item in the listview, it opens other activities as i

Answer 1

use

if(drawer.isDrawerOpen(navList))  
  {  
      drawer.closeDrawer(navList);      
  }

In onResume() and start of onItemClick() method.

or you can try another approach..run a Ui thread when you are selecting drawer item

private void selectDrawerItemItem(final int position){

     //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "ItemClicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

     darwer.closeDrawer(navList);

    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            Fragment fragment = new Fragment(Activity.this);
            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putInt(Fragment.ARG_PLANET_NUMBER, position);
            fragment.setArguments(args);

            FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
             fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame,fragment).commit();

            // update selected item and title, then close the drawer
            navList.setItemChecked(position, true);

            setTitle(" " + navListTitles[position]);
        }
    }, 200);


    // update the main content by replacing fragments


}

Answer 2

have you tried :

mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(drawerListView);

You can add this before calling startActivity()

Answer 3

You need to close the drawer on list item click

drawer.closeDrawer(navList);

Also what is the use of FrameLayout in your xml. It is not used as a container to add or replace fragments

Answer 4

I was having the same problem.

I used

mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(drawerListView);

before starting my new activity. It beautifully slides the drawer back in.

Answer 5

call the drawer.closeDrawer(navList); function before switch case

Answer 6

In continuation to others answers and @ Chinmay Dabke question of 'but the drawer closes half then pauses and then closes fully' in one of the comments, here is what you could do:

first as others suggested, this line is missing. drawer.closeDrawer(navList);

And as far as the pausing of drawer is concerned while closing, you could do something like this. use a Runnable and a Handler like this:

mRunnable = = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
         //say
         selectItem(pos); //Implement your switch case logic in this func
    }
}

and then in the onDrawerClosed overrided method

@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {

if (mRunnable != null) {
    mHandler.post(mRunnable);
    mRunnable = null;
}
}

Hope this helps!

I would suggest you to use fragments for navigation drawer and to solve this issue of drawer not closing properly, I found this article very useful (using fragments). http://www.michenux.net/android-asynctask-in-fragment-best-pratices-725.html
