Awesome

DEPRECATED

There will (probably) be no more active development of this library. See NavigationView which is available as part of the Android Design Support library. This widget should be sufficient for most of your needs.

Material Navigation Drawer

Navigation Drawer according to Material Design spec.

Contains native and support fragments of expanded and collapsed navigation list for use with DrawerLayout or Chiu-Ki Chan's CrossFadeSlidingPaneLayout (included).

The library is now available from API 4.

Screenshots

• Lollipop

• Kitkat

• Lollipop tablet using CrossFadeSlidingPaneLayout expanded and collapsed

How to get the library?

To use this library add the following to your module's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'net.xpece.material:navigation-drawer:0.7.7@aar'
}

Additionally this library depends on

• support-v4 if you'll be using anything related to DrawerLayout or support fragments,
• NineOldAndroids if you'll be using CrossFadeSlidingPaneLayout below API 11.

Proguard setup:

-dontwarn net.xpece.material.navigationdrawer.**

Default behavior

• Icon color defaults to android:textColorSecondary when not selected. See SimpleNavigationItemDescriptor or BaseNavigationItemDescriptor.
• Text color and selected icon color defaults to 100% white or 87% black based on background. See SimpleNavigationItemDescriptor or BaseNavigationItemDescriptor.
• Activated background is set to 12% of android:colorForeground.
  • <s>This currently limits the use to white drawer on white theme or black on black.</s>
  • You can now specify android:theme on the fragment override these values in bulk.
• List background is set to android:colorForegroundInverse by default. Can be changed via API.
• Divider color is 12% of android:colorForeground. You cannot change this currently.

Customization

The drawer has too big right margin!

As of support-v4 library <s>21.0.3</s> 22.1.1 there is a hardcoded margin of 64dp in a DrawerLayout. Use NavigationDrawerUtils.fixMinDrawerMargin(DrawerLayout) to remove this limitation. Use this right after you obtain a drawer layout instance typically in Activity.onCreate(Bundle). Why is this an issue? Specs say the margin should be only 56dp on phones.

I want the drawer to have a standard width!

To set proper drawer width according to specs call NavigationDrawerUtils.setProperNavigationDrawerWidth(View) on your instance of NavigationDrawerFragment.getView(). This is not handled automatically to allow developers to reuse the fragment outside of DrawerLayout with custom width.

The width will be one of the following:

• On phones: Smallest screen width minus 56dp, maximum 280dp (5 * 56dp). The width will be the same in both portrait and landscape.
• On tablets: Effectively always 280dp. Because it looks better (on 7" tablet the drawer has less than half screen width). Officially it should be 5 * 64dp = 320dp;

I want the drawer to have a different background!

You can modify the navigation drawer background by accessing one of NavigationDrawerFragment.setBackground*() methods. Please note that the same background will be used for the pinned section. So if you use the pinned section either use a fully opaque color for background or follow this SO post to align your bitmap to bottom. The background is not scrolling (which is not very "material design").

How do I build sections?

NavigationSectionDescriptor

• Use heading(String) to set optional section heading.
• Use addItem(NavigationItemDescriptor) or addItems(List<NavigationItemDescriptor>). These allow you to chain calls as opposed to standard List methods.

How do I build items?

BaseNavigationItemDescriptor

• Use sticky() and notSticky() to specify whether the item should stay selected on click or not.
• Use iconResource(int) to specify a drawable resource. Typically this would be a 24dp by 24dp icon. This gets colored automatically. Width limit is 40dp. A value of android.R.color.transparent will result in navigation item with padded text (as if it had an empty icon) and a value of 0 will result in the text being aligned to the left side (no icon at all).
• Use iconColorAlwaysPassiveOn() to override the icon color in active state by the passive color.
• Use text(String) or text(int) to set item label.
• Use activeColor(int) and its derivatives to specify color of selected icon and text.
• Use passiveColor(int) and its derivatives to specify color of unselected icon. Unselected text always takes color of android:textColorPrimary.
• activatedBackground*(...)
• enable() and disable()

SimpleNavigationItemDescriptor extends BaseNavigationItemDescriptor

• Use badge(String) or badge(int) to set badge text. Badge will be hidden when supplied value is null; Minimum badge width is 40dp and text is center aligned.
• Use badgeColor(int) and its derivatives to specify background color of the badge. Text color is calculated automatically.

How do I make custom items?

Extend either BaseNavigationItemDescriptor or AbsNavigationItemDescriptor. Both require you to implement method getLayoutId() which returns your custom layout resource ID. You also need to implement you own loadInto(View, boolean) method which is analogous to adapter's getView(...). Optionally you may override onViewCreated(View).

AbsNavigationItemDescriptor handles only selected background. See the ToggleNavigationItemDescriptor in sample project.

BaseNavigationItemDescriptor allows you to use all the good stuff described in previous section. Your custom layout is required to have a @id/icon image view and a @id/text text view. It's intended for cases where you need a custom view on the right side of the item (such as in SimpleNavigationItemDescriptor).

How do I employ partially visible collapsed navigation (like Gmail on tablets)?

Please see the example project, mainly res/layout-sw600dp/activity_main.xml and MainActivity.java. Only descriptors which implement GraphicNavigationItemDescriptor will be painted (both base and simple descriptors comply).
