Getting DrawerLayout to Slide over the ActionBar

Question

I have a sliding drawer menu in an activity, which has an actionbar with some tabs on it.

I\'d like to get the sliding drawer to slide over the tabs , not below th

Answer 1

I managed to achieve this requirement by setting the navigationMode inside OnDrawerClosed and onDrawerOpened functions. It is a temp fix since the tabs actually do not disappear immediately.

  public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
          getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
          if(getActionBar().getTabCount()>0) //Add tabs when the fragment has it
          getActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);               
                        ...
                    }

   public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            getActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
            getActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);              
                    ..

                    }

If you have some fragments with tabs, and other without it don't forget to remove tabs onCreateView of fragment that does not have tabs.

 getActionBar().removeAllTabs();

I have use tabs inside fragment of drawer. I solve this problem adding

getActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); 

in onDrawerClosed() and getActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD); in onDrawerOpend() method.

I hope this will help you.

Answer 3

you can use below libraries to get navigation model similar to Google play music app.

• ActionBarSherlock (github)
• nested-fragments (github)
• PagerSlidingTabStrip (github)
• NavigationDrawer (Android developer site)
• Latest Support v4 library

I have created a project Navigation Drawer with Tab Strip Example at github, have a look at it.

Below is the screenshot of it.

I had the same problem, but the only solution I found was to use tabs inside the inner fragment (not fragmentActivity). I don't know if it was the best solution, the only problem i had was styling this tabs, for the rest, it works perfectly
