Navigation Drawer With Transparent Status bar

It is second part of  Let's Start with Material Design Series. In this series i will explain how you can give Material over haul to your existing app or how you can create it with Material design. in first part i have created the main layout of the app so if you want to know about it head over to it. Part -1 is about using Recycler view and Toolbar in Pre - Lollipop device using appcompat v21 library. In this part i am going to explain about navigation drawer. how you can implement navigation drawer as per material design guidelines.This tutorial even includes hamburger animation used in Google apps.

According to android documentation If you have hierarchy of views(More than 3 top-level views) then only you have to implement nav drawer in your app. and all top level views must be displayed in nav drawer for quick jumps to the top-level of your app. As nav drawer can be used from all views of app, you can incorporate or display important lower-level views also. but make sure child view indicate its parent view so user won't get confused.

You can use list view or expandable list view for navigation drawer but make sure for each row you use only one text view. for this tutorial i am going to create nav drawer as you can see in google apps (not the same). but as per Material design guidelines, as guidelines suggest drawer should spans the full height of the screen and the drawer should below the status bar. to span full space we need to customize frame layout. That actually Making DrawerLayout behind the system bars using fitSystemWindows property. one more thing we are using toolbar in place of action bar (that look same as action bar) that's how we will overlapping nav drawer above the action bar. as i am using appcompat library this app will look like same on pre-lollipop android device also.

As per doc the width of the side nav is equal to the width of the screen minus the height of the action bar, or 56dp from the right edge of the screen.

Mobile: Width = screen width - app bar height (No wider than 320dp on phones and 400dp on tablets).

Step -1 : As we have already created project in Part -1 we are directly going to change the main layout of project. so put below code inside Main.xml file. as it consist ScrimInsetsFrameLayout which will give error but don't worry it is customized frame layout. as you go through full tutorial you will get class file for it also. The same is used in Google I/O app. why they have given such name even i can't understand.  you can give name what ever you want. Below xml files are layout for main(content view) and navigation drawer view.

Main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <!-- Setting this one to true makes the status bar
        to have a non-transparent shitty background -->

    <!--
         As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
         space available using match_parent in both dimensions.
    -->

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="false">

        <include layout="@layout/actionbarlayout"></include>

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/my_recycler_view"
            android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
            android:elevation="5dp"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/addButton"
            android:text="+"
            android:textSize="25sp"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:textAlignment="center"
            android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
            android:background="@drawable/circlebtn"
            android:layout_width="56dp"
            android:layout_height="56dp"
            android:stateListAnimator="@animator/anim"
            android:elevation="4dp"
            style="?android:buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_gravity="right|bottom" />
        

    </FrameLayout>

    <com.androprogrammer.test.materialapp1.ScrimInsetsFrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:elevation="8dp"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        app:insetForeground="#4000">

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list_drawer"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/drawer_width"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
            android:background="@android:color/white"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />
       

    </com.androprogrammer.test.materialapp1.ScrimInsetsFrameLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

actionbarlayout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:elevation="4dp"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
    android:background="@color/primary"/>

drawerlist_header.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="160dp"
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:src="@drawable/headerbg"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|top" />
</FrameLayout>

Step -2 : Now layouts are set for main view. now we will create style for app so it will look same threw out the app.

values/styles.xml

values/attrs.xml

values/color.xml

    #fe2e2e
    #EFcb2424

values/dimens.xml

    2dp
    4dp
    320dp
    56dp

values/strings.xml

    My Application1
    Settings
    open
    close

values-v21/styles.xml

Step - 3 : Now we will move forward to code section of the app which was also know as dirty or magical section of the app.  put below code in ScrimInsetsFrameLayout classor what ever you named it in xml layout.

}

Screen Shots

Step - 4 : Now every thing done but please apply theme in manifest.xml in application tag.

android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

And one more thing is that to run app you need to add libraries in app.gradle file it is in app folder named as build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'

} 

Well that's it from my side now run the app and check how it works. hope you learned from this tutorial if find it useful please hare it with your friends or in circle. if i miss any thing or you have any query please let me know in below comment box.

Keep coding...
