How to close navigation drawer when an item is pressed from it?

Question

Ideally navigation drawer should get closed once some item has been pressed from it, but its not happening automatically. How to do it ? Thanks!

Answer 1

For me this one worked -

mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.START, false);

Answer 2

Got it!

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

Working perfectly fine.

Answer 3

On the right bottom of onNavigationItemSelected where the switch case ends you should right this. mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){

        }
   mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
   return true;
}

Answer 4

closeDrawer();//when you want to call

public void closeDrawer() {
    if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    }
}

Answer 5

DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout= (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)

closeDrawer(); // called when you want to close

public void closeDrawer() {
  if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
    mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
  }
}

Answer 6

If you have mDrawerLayout as your drawer layout, you can close it when it is open.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (this.mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        this.mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}
