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

private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

it works

Answer 2

Try

drawer.closeDrawer(Gravity.START);

Your drawer gravity is start so Use that to close the corresponding drawer

Answer 3

Call

drawer.closeDrawer(navList);

in onItemClick() method

Answer 4

Here is the code: Lets say you have the drawer class

in your activity call the class as and make a vaiable and assign it(put the drawer layout within a fragment for smoother user experience)

Drawer drawer;
drawer = (Drawer)getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.theid);
drawer.mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.END);
//End for right and Start for left

Hope it helps

Answer 5

I didn't see any code where you are closing the ListView from drawer... close the ListView Drawer on ListItem click...

    navList.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, final int pos,long id){
            drawer.closeDrawer(navList);
            switch (pos){
                case 0:
                    Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Aluminium.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                    break;
                case 1:
                    Intent i2 = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Gold.class);
                    startActivity(i2);
                    break;
                case 2:
                    Intent i3 = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Zinc.class);
                    startActivity(i3);
                    break;
            }
        }
    });
