Same Navigation Drawer in different activities with different views

Question

I have many activities which share the same navigation drawer. How do I write different views for all the activities with same navigation drawer. The xml and Java files can be found below.

navigation_drawer.xml

<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">
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/content_frame"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/navigationLinearLayout"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/navList_one"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="left|start"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
        android:listSelector="@color/notificationarea_background"
        android:background="@color/navigation_background"/>

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="3dp"
        android:background="@color/notificationarea_background"/>

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/navList_two"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="left|start"
        android:background="@color/navigation_background"/>

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

I am extending NavigationDrawer in my other activities(MainActivity and Login). I want MainActivity and Login to have navigation drawer as well as their own xml views/xml files. If I put some content in navigation_drawer.xml, then it would come in all activities. I want different contents for MainActivity and Login with same navigation drawer.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Each Activity has to have his one fragment layout and inflate it from there. Take a look at this tutorial, it's really good:

Try this way to create sliding drawer,it will help

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <balaji.slidingdrawer_tb.Transparent
        android:id="@+id/popup_window"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:padding="30px">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textColor="#000000"
            android:textSize="20dp"
        android:paddingTop="20dp"
        android:paddingBottom="20dp"
            android:text="Top to Bottom Sliding" />

    <CheckBox 
            android:id="@+id/checkBox1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:textSize="17dp"
        android:text="Jelly Bean" />

    <CheckBox 
            android:id="@+id/checkBox2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:textSize="17dp"
        android:text="Ice Cream Sandwich" />

    <CheckBox 
            android:id="@+id/checkBox3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:textSize="17dp"
        android:text="HoneyComb" />

    </balaji.slidingdrawer_tb.Transparent>

    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/handle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Handle"/>

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    CheckBox cb1,cb2,cb3;
    int key=0;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        final Transparent popup = (Transparent) findViewById(R.id.popup_window);
        popup.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    final Button btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.handle);
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            if(key==0){
                key=1;
                popup.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            //  btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
            }
            else if(key==1){
                key=0;
                popup.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            //  btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_action_search);
            }
        }
    });
    }
}
