I\'m attempting to implement a toast depending on the item clicked in a DrawerLayout - however I cannot seem to get the toasts to appear no matter what I do. I\'m not sure exact
I recently did something very much like this. I was using Fragments but the concept is very much the same.
First I created the DrawerLayout:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
// read in the menu items form the string array
String[] menuList = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.drawer_menu);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.drawer_list_item, menuList));
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
Then I define the DrawerItemClickListener
:
/* The click listener for ListView in the navigation drawer */
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
}
Finally I implement the selectItem
method:
private void selectItem(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
Fragment fragment;
if ( position == 1 )
{
fragment = new CalendarFrag();
}
else if ( position == 2 )
{
fragment = new ContactsFrag();
}
else
{
fragment = new EmailListFragment();
}
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
}
You could easily replace the Fragments with Activities, and the beginTransation
with a startActivity
.
