navigation MenuItem in toolbar doesn't trigger onOptionsItemSelected

Question

I\'m trying to use the navigation drawer with toolbar, but pressing the navigation button doesn\'t trigger the onOptionsItemSelected handler and the list doesn\'t open.

Answer 1

This is what worked for me:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/relative"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <include
        android:id="@+id/tool_bar"
        layout="@layout/tool_bar"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        />

    <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/tool_bar">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <com.augury.mobile.auguryandroid.SlidingTabLayout
                android:id="@+id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:elevation="2dp"
                android:background="@color/augury_blue"/>

            <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
                android:id="@+id/pager"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="1">
            </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

        </LinearLayout>

        <!-- The navigation drawer -->
        <ListView android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
            android:layout_width="240dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
            android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
            android:dividerHeight="0dp"
            android:background="#111"/>

    </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Try this layout:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" 
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   tools:context=".MainActivity"
   >

   <LinearLayout 
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:orientation="vertical"
   >

  <include
    android:id="@+id/tool_bar"
    layout="@layout/tool_bar"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    />

  <com.augury.mobile.auguryandroid.SlidingTabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:elevation="2dp"
    android:background="@color/augury_blue"/>

  <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1">
  </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

</LinearLayout>

<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<ListView android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
    android:layout_width="240dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
    android:dividerHeight="0dp"
    android:background="#111"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Answer 3

write this

  getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);

just after you set your toolbar

and remove

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

this will take you to previous task if you have any which might give you an unexpected behavior
