androidx.legacy.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle' is deprecated

Question

I use androidx library and i have androidx.legacy.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle' is deprecated error in the following code:

private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;

mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        // associate Navigation Drawer with ActionBar
        mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
                R.drawable.ic_drawer, //nav menu toggle icon

How do i suppose to change it? I tried to find a solution but nothing has to do with androidx. I would apriciate an easy explanation as im new in android.

Answer 1

Change androidx. legacy .app.ActionBarDrawerToggle to androidx. appcompat .app.ActionBarDrawerToggle, ie legacy to appcompat.

Also, remember to add your toolbar as your third argument.
