How to creat a Navigation drawer in android studio kotlin

[@justeben]

I love how your codes are clean and straight to the point!👏

[@AndroidGeekCo]

Glad to hear that😀

[@justeben]

Please would the nav drawer work if if I don't want the toolbar to be visible?

[@AndroidGeekCo]

@@justeben you can use the Activity theme: Theme.NoTitleBar (with this code your action bar disapear) and your navigation drawer open with swipes a finger from the left edge of the activity.if you mean not this , pls let me know :)

[@justeben]

It works but how to make the hamburger sign show is a challenge.

[@AndroidGeekCo]

you can create custom action bar , and inside your custom action bar , you can put hamburger sign to control your drawer :)

[@luisdanielfigueroagarcia317]

hi, thank fot you video, i have a questin, How i can close the menu when i tap del option?

[@AndroidGeekCo]

you're welcome , in our example , you can use : drawerLayout.closeDrawers() for closing navigation drawer after clicking on each item 😊

[@NimR9Sakura]

if someone can't see the ActivityMainBinding, just add (dataBinding true) in (buildFeatures{})

[@AndroidGeekCo]

you can add viewbinding= true inside your buildFeatures body 👍

Menu does not open when click hamburger menu. What's problem? That say deprected for onOptionsItemSelected. That can be reason? How can I solve it?

[@AndroidGeekCo]

do you use the codes that I show in this video? or use another code? because the code that I used is not deprecated. Now, I checked again, and it works as I expected. would you please tell me exactly which code cause to error? and also please check your dependencies version , I used the last version for all my dependencies

[@ahmetylmaz9909]

@@AndroidGeekCo I use it for fragment. So I can't click it from fragment? It works when I swipe screen from left to right. But dont work when click hamburger. Also it can be deprected for fragment.

[@AndroidGeekCo]

I got , let me check it for fragment , just as suggestion , you can use single activity , and then in your activity , yoy can use drawer with out any problem , and this way is mush more modern instead of using just fragment

[@ahmetylmaz9909]

@@AndroidGeekCo I do navigation compoenent. I did it for MainActivity that works. It's all about fragment. Thanks for your helping.:)

[@VinothS-i8x]

i have followed your code but navigation drawer button not showing me ... if i swipe on the screen from left side drawer menu it will come.. how can i fix this ?? pls help

[@lifeforce3451]

same for me the hamburger menu is visible, but if I touch it the window hide , did you found a fix ?

[@supermurloc5371]

Hi. I don't know if the problem is relevant at the moment, but still. I also followed the code from the video, just like you. The same problem has arisen. The solution is that you need to initialize the Toolbar in the Activity.xml and Activity.kt
for Activity.xml
--- in ConstraintLayout ---
// initialize the Toolbar with the code

[@sophiejcbs]

@@supermurloc5371 thank u very much 🙏🙏🙏

[@majhawk8431]

how do we redirect to another activity from navigation drawer in kotlin

[@AndroidGeekCo]

in this video, we use => [ when (it.itemId) ] for accessing each item of our navigation drawer instead of show toast that we have done in this video, you can use intent for going to another activity like this -> startActivity(Intent(this,SecondActivity::class.java))

menu item is not clickable why it is

Please check your code again with the video and GitHub source : github.com/ezatpanah/Navigation-drawer-RUclips , as you can see in the video when I click on each item of menu, the toast has appeared and it's works

[@ErickRodriguez-vf9qt]

I have the same problem and i don´t know how to solved it

[@KhizarHayat067]

How this drawer work on other Activities??

[@luisdanielfigueroagarcia317]

just use fragment to use the same activity and only change the fragments
