How to open NavigationDrawer in portrait mode while my activity is in landscape?

Question

So, I am trying to open NavigationDrawer in portratit mode, but I have to lock my activity in landscape mode due to some reason.

I have tried to set gravity to left or right but all of them open NavigationDrawer as it should open in LandScape mode, but I want it to ope in Portrait mode.

Answer 1

There is nothing in documentation about such case and from what I know Navigation Drawer is usually used from sides.

You may however check gravity

There are also other navigation components like Bottom navigation which may fit better in your case.
