When attempting to add a navigation drawer to my application, I found that the templates used by Android Studio caused a crash. I am not sure what caused this crash, but I got very tired of attempting to debug boilerplate code. Instead, I followed the "Creating a Navigation Drawer" Tutorial on HMKCode (http://hmkcode.com/android-creating-a-navigation-drawer/), I found this tutorial to be the most helpful one available. And the result actually worked.
What this tutorial missed, I found in the "Navigation Drawer Android Example" (http://javatechig.com/android/navigation-drawer-android-example#33-handle-navigation-click-events).
1) The ability to load a fragment:
// Creating a fragment object
WebViewFragment rFragment = new WebViewFragment();
// Passing selected item information to fragment
Bundle data = new Bundle();
data.putInt("position", position);
data.putString("url", getUrl(position));
rFragment.setArguments(data);
// Getting reference to the FragmentManager
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
// Creating a fragment transaction
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
// Adding a fragment to the fragment transaction
ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, rFragment);
// Committing the transaction
ft.commit();
2) The ability to change text when the drawer is opened and closed
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close) {
/** Called when drawer is closed */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
/** Called when a drawer is opened */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
getActionBar().setTitle("JAVATECHIG.COM");
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
