How to Display Navigation Drawer in all activities?

Here is my implementation.. hope it help

FIRST, this POST is concept.

SECOND, this is also the KEY one.

FINALLY, Here is combination of all answer in one place

---

BASE ACTIVITY

This is a base activity for all other activity

You can extends Activity or FragmentActivity or etc. base on your requirement.

Navigation Drawer setup here for one time.

public class BaseActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    protected DrawerLayout mDrawer;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.base_layout);

        mDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);

        //This is about creating custom listview for navigate drawer
        //Implementation for NavigateDrawer HERE !
        ArrayList<DrawerListItem> drawerListItems = new ArrayList<DrawerListItem>();
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(0,"AIR° DEVICES"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(1,"A/C Device [1]"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(1,"A/C Device [2]"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(1,"A/C Device [3]"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(0,"AIR° FEATURES"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(2,"SLEEP MODE"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(2,"TRACKING MODE"));
        drawerListItems.add(new DrawerListItem(2,"SETTINGS"));
        DrawerAdapter mDrawerAdapter = new DrawerAdapter(this, R.layout.drawer_list_header, drawerListItems);
        ListView mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
        mDrawerList.setAdapter(mDrawerAdapter);
    }

}

BASE ACTIVITY XML

This xml layout is for Navigation Drawer

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/content_frame"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

    </FrameLayout>

    <!-- The navigation drawer -->
    <ListView
            android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            android:scrollingCache="false"
            android:background="@drawable/drawer_bg"
            android:divider="@null"
            android:choiceMode="singleChoice"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

ALL OTHERS ACTIVITY

Other Activity just extends BaseActivity and define code as below.

The Navigation Drawer will appear for particular activity.

mDrawer is form BaseActivity. it's a protected variable.

public class Screen1 extends BaseActivity

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        //inflate your activity layout here!
        View contentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.screen1, null, false);
        mDrawer.addView(contentView, 0);

        //Do the rest as you want for each activity
    }

SCREEN 1 XML SAMPLE

Design as you wish it each activity. no more Navigation Drawer Layout !

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent">

</LinearLayout>

NOTE

In this implementation, The Navigation Drawer doesn't bind with Action Bar. If you wish to do that do it in BaseActivity.Also, This guide is not cover all requirement. It's just a sample.

I made a BaseActivity activity which extends SherlockActivity (or ActionBarActivity if is your case)

public class BaseActivity extends SherlockActivity

Then, make all your activities extends BaseActivity, like:

public class GlossaryActivity extends BaseActivity

Later, you must replace the activity layout with the one that correspond to your activity, I made a method in BaseActivity like that:

protected void replaceContentLayout(int sourceId, int destinationId) {
    View contentLayout = findViewById(destinationId);

    ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) contentLayout.getParent();
    int index = parent.indexOfChild(contentLayout);

    parent.removeView(contentLayout);
    contentLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(sourceId, parent, false);
    parent.addView(contentLayout, index);
}

I called this method on the onCreate method in each activity:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.replaceContentLayout(R.layout.activity_glossary, super.CONTENT_LAYOUT_ID);

}

super.CONTENT_LAYOUT_ID is the FrameLayout of the BaseActivity, and other param is the layout you want replace with

in onCreate of TutorialActivity don't call setContentView instead do this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View contentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.help, null, false);
    mDrawer.addView(contentView, 0); 
}

make mDrawer in MainActivity protected. and in R.layout.activity_main_drawer just keep drawer tag and the element with gravity left(or right).
