Cannot Set Up Android Nav Drawer in Action Bar

I am trying to set up the Android Nav Drawer with an action bar. I am having difficulty setting the icon for the Nav Drawer and generating all of the list items as well. Below is my code, I am currently generating a NullPointer Exception:

I do it like this:
android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
if(actionBar != null){
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
}
This should solve the java.lang.NullPointerException.
"and generating all of the list items as well"
I cant see whats the problem here. Could you explain it a little bit?
The icon - Three horizontal lines in closed mode, a back arrow in opened mode with a nice smoot animation:
drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(

error passing arguments from an activity to a fragment in android

I have been having an issue passing an ArrayList from my activity to my fragment. I have tried several different methods of doing so, however, it appears that the code is not passing SetContentView as seen below, the onCreate method is instanciating the fragment, however executes nothing after SetContentView:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_drawer);
Log.i(TAG, "scooby snacks");
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mTitle = getTitle();
ArrayList<String> menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
menuItems.add("Test");
Bundle input = new Bundle();
input.putStringArrayList("edttext", menuItems);
/* set Fragmentclass Arguments */
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setArguments(input);
Log.i(TAG, mNavigationDrawerFragment.getArguments().toString());
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
}
The fragment code is as follows, it is only instantiating and trying to pull arguments:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ArrayList<String> strtext = getArguments().getStringArrayList("edttext");
Log.i(TAG, strtext.toString());
mDrawerListView = (ListView) inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer, container, false);
mDrawerListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
});
mDrawerListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getActionBar().getThemedContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1,
android.R.id.text1,
strtext));
mDrawerListView.setItemChecked(mCurrentSelectedPosition, true);
return mDrawerListView;
}
Here is the content view being referenced this is the code being called on SetContentView:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. -->
<fragment

android:layout_gravity="start"

tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Thanks in advance!

I tried for a couple of hours to get this working with a bundle to get data to the NavigationDrawerFragment, and was not successful. I was getting the same errors that you are getting.
However, I realized that since you have a reference to mNavigationDrawerFragment, there is no need to use a bundle to pass data.
I was able to just add a parameter to setUp() and pass an ArrayList that way.
MainActivity.java:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mTitle = getTitle();
ArrayList<String> menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
menuItems.add("Test");
menuItems.add("Test2");
menuItems.add("TestThree");
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout), menuItems);
}
NavigationDrawerFragment.java:
public void setUp(int fragmentId, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, ArrayList<String> array) {
mFragmentContainerView = getActivity().findViewById(fragmentId);
mDrawerLayout = drawerLayout;
Log.i("NavTesting", array.toString());
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer opens
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
// set up the drawer's list view with items and click listener
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
//......
It successfully logged the array passed in:
04-02 18:11:30.680 17274-17274/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTesting﹕ [Test, Test2, TestThree]
Then, if you want to update data in the NavigationDrawer at times other than initialization, you can add a function to update the data.
In NavigationDrawerFragment.java:
public class NavigationDrawerFragment extends Fragment {
private ArrayList<String> mArray;
//......
public void updateArray(ArrayList<String> array){
Log.i("NavTesting", array.toString());
mArray = array;
}
//......
private void selectItem(int position) {
if (mArray != null){
Log.i("NavTestingSelectItem", mArray.toString());
}
mCurrentSelectedPosition = position;
if (mDrawerListView != null) {
mDrawerListView.setItemChecked(position, true);
}
if (mDrawerLayout != null) {
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mFragmentContainerView);
}
if (mCallbacks != null) {
mCallbacks.onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(position);
}
}
In MainActivity.java:
public void onSectionAttached(int number) {
ArrayList<String> menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
switch (number) {
case 1:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section1);
menuItems.add(mTitle.toString());
mNavigationDrawerFragment.updateArray(menuItems);
break;
case 2:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section2);
menuItems.add(mTitle.toString());
mNavigationDrawerFragment.updateArray(menuItems);
break;
case 3:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section3);
menuItems.add(mTitle.toString());
mNavigationDrawerFragment.updateArray(menuItems);
break;
}
}
After running and clicking on the different Drawer selections:
04-03 07:31:13.529 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTesting﹕ [Test, Test2, TestThree]
04-03 07:31:13.539 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTesting﹕ [Section 1]
04-03 07:31:18.874 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTestingSelectItem﹕ [Section 1]
04-03 07:31:18.884 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTesting﹕ [Section 2]
04-03 07:31:27.963 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTestingSelectItem﹕ [Section 2]
04-03 07:31:27.973 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTesting﹕ [Section 3]
04-03 07:31:33.829 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTestingSelectItem﹕ [Section 3]
04-03 07:31:33.839 9397-9397/com.fragmentarraylist.daniel.myapplication I/NavTesting﹕ [Section 1]
Update: I just tested this and it looks like it works, just move the call to setAdapter() to the setUp() function in order to populate the Navigation Drawer menu with the ArrayList.
public void setUp(int fragmentId, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, ArrayList<String> array) {
mFragmentContainerView = getActivity().findViewById(fragmentId);
mDrawerLayout = drawerLayout;
Log.i("NavTesting", array.toString());
mDrawerListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(
getActionBar().getThemedContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1,
android.R.id.text1,
array));
mDrawerListView.setItemChecked(mCurrentSelectedPosition, true);
If you want to update the title from the ArrayList as well, you could also do this in the Activity (I just tested this and it works):
public void onSectionAttached(int number) {
if (menuItems == null){
menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
menuItems.add("Test");
menuItems.add("Test2");
menuItems.add("TestThree");
}
switch (number) {
case 1:
mTitle = menuItems.get(0);
break;
case 2:
mTitle = menuItems.get(1);
break;
case 3:
mTitle = menuItems.get(2);
break;
}
}
However, I would recommend using values from strings.xml, and passing them into the NavigationDrawer. Here are my full class files and strings:
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
implements NavigationDrawerFragment.NavigationDrawerCallbacks {
ArrayList<String> menuItems;
/**
* Fragment managing the behaviors, interactions and presentation of the navigation drawer.
*/
private NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment;
/**
* Used to store the last screen title. For use in {#link #restoreActionBar()}.
*/
private CharSequence mTitle;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mTitle = getTitle();
menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
menuItems.add(getString(R.string.title_section1));
menuItems.add(getString(R.string.title_section2));
menuItems.add(getString(R.string.title_section3));
//mNavigationDrawerFragment.updateArray(menuItems);
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(
R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout), menuItems);
}
#Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1))
.commit();
}
public void onSectionAttached(int number) {
/*
if (menuItems == null){
menuItems = new ArrayList<String>();
menuItems.add("Test");
menuItems.add("Test2");
menuItems.add("TestThree");
}
switch (number) {
case 1:
mTitle = menuItems.get(0);
break;
case 2:
mTitle = menuItems.get(1);
break;
case 3:
mTitle = menuItems.get(2);
break;
}
*/
switch (number) {
case 1:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section1);
break;
case 2:
mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section2);
break;
case 3:

break;
}
}
public void restoreActionBar() {
ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);

FragmentTabHost - No tab known for tag null

Few days ago I implemented TabHostFramgent in a Fragment with a NavigationDrawer, and I faced with a problem that is the following error :
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No tab known for tag null
The thing is that all works perfectly since my first item list of my NavigationDrawer is my TabHostFragment, so it works perfect, but the problem is when I go in example to the second item and then I want to go back to the first item, every time that I try so it crashes.
I was searching everywhere, here in SO, code.google.com, etc... and I still don't get the proper answer.
My tab_host_test_2.xmllooks like :
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

EDIT
The answer of #Y.S., was kinda different about what I was asking for, but it could be a solution, but it didn't worked fine at all, and the NavigationDrawer is under the TabHostFragment, etc... I don't want to change anything of my layout.

As the error suggests
Java : illegal state exception : no tab known for tag null
you tried to initialise TabHost but TabHost was null.
Try the code that I have used to initialise the TabHost and it works fine. Keep you code in onCreateView(). This problem occurs when you try to setup your FragmentTabHost in onViewCreated(), which is called too late. Try to set it up in onCreateView(), and add at least one tab before returning the view Object.
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Create FragmentTabHost
mTabHost = new FragmentTabHost(getActivity());
// Locate fragment1.xml to create FragmentTabHost
mTabHost.setup(getActivity(), getChildFragmentManager(), R.layout.fragment1);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("groups").setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_group_icon)),FragmentTab1.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("contacts").setIndicator("",getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tab_user_icon)),FragmentTab2.class, null);
MainActivity.fabButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return mTabHost;
}
change Layout to:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0" />
</android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>
</LinearLayout>
Hope it helps.

There is another way to display tabs which can be used here.
Define TabHostFragment like this:
public class TabHostFragment extends Fragment implements ActionBar.TabListener{
public TabHostFragment(){
}
AppSectionsPagerAdapter mAppSectionsPagerAdapter;
ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_host_test2, container, false);
return rootView;
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState){
mAppSectionsPagerAdapter = new AppSectionsPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());
final ActionBar actionBar = ((FragmentActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mAppSectionsPagerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
});
for (int i = 0; i < mAppSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
actionBar.addTab(
actionBar.newTab()
.setText(mAppSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(this));
}
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
public static class AppSectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public AppSectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int i) {
Fragment f = null;
switch (i) {
case 0:
f = new MisOfertasFragment();
break;
case 1:
f = new RecomendacionesFragment();
break;
}
return f;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 2;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return getFragmentTitle(position);
}
private String getFragmentTitle(int position){
if(position == 0)
return "Tab 1";
else if(position == 1)
return "Tab 2";
else
return "";
}
}
}
Define tab_host_test2.xml like this:
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
Rest of the code remains the same.
Try this. This should work.
EDIT:
Add this to the displayView() method:
if(position != 0)
getSupportActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);

specify in .xml file where you are using this TabHostFragment(complete path like com.my.TabHostFragment). like
<com.my.TabHostFragment
android:id="#+id/fragmentId"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>

How do I add buttons, switches etc. to an android app drawer?

How do I add buttons, switches, seekbars etc. to an android app drawer?
I know how to add text to the listview but I'm finding the above very difficult. I have my current app drawer below. What changes would you suggest to accomplish the above.
Code:
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Within which the entire activity is enclosed
DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
// ListView represents Navigation Drawer
ListView mDrawerList;
// ActionBarDrawerToggle indicates the presence of Navigation Drawer in the action bar
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
// Title of the action bar
String mTitle="";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTitle = (String) getTitle();
// Getting reference to the DrawerLayout
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.drawer_list);
// Getting reference to the ActionBarDrawerToggle
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle( this,
mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer,
R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close){
/** Called when drawer is closed */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
/** Called when a drawer is opened */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
getActionBar().setTitle("Select a river");
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
// Setting DrawerToggle on DrawerLayout
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
// Creating an ArrayAdapter to add items to the listview mDrawerList
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(

You can use this library for your drawer library
or if you want this drawer then put one linearlayout and then put you views inside that.
SlidingMenu menu = new SlidingMenu(this);
menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT);
menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_MARGIN);
menu.setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width);
menu.setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.slidingmenu_offset);
menu.setFadeDegree(0.35f);
menu.attachToActivity(this, SlidingMenu.SLIDING_CONTENT);
menu.setMenu(R.layout.side_panel);
Now in the side panel layout put your views in side that now for view side panel use this:
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
int itemId = item.getItemId();
switch (itemId) {
case android.R.id.home:
if (menu != null) {
menu.toggle();
}
break;
}
return true;
}
for initializing side panel data use this:
menu.findViewById(R.id.your_view_id).setOnClickListener(this);
and override onclick event and handle that you want.
for further information see the example in the github.

Open Android Navigation Drawer from an activity class

I am working on android Navigation Drawer and through their documentation it looks like, the drawer can only extend Fragment Activity, so that to open drawer from all my activities, I need to make all my activities a fragment, which is not a feasible solution.
Is there a way I can open a drawer that extends FragmentActivity from an Activity?
When I try to extend my drawer activity from Activity class, and another activity that will open the drawer extending the draweractivity class (here SlideMenuActivity), the app crashes giving NullPointerException.
Below is the code for opening a drawer layout but once the first activity launches, I am unable to access the drawer.
App is crashing on syncState point in onPostCreate method
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
getActionDrawerToggle().syncState();
}
public class SlideMenuActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnItemClickListener
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
setDrawerLayout();
setDrawerList();
if (savedInstanceState == null)
{
getDrawerListView().setSelectionAfterHeaderView();
getDrawerListView().setSelection(1);
selectItem(1);
}
}

getDrawerView().setDrawerListener(getActionDrawerToggle());
}

I too was looking through the documentation and thought that I had to switch all my activities into fragments. Just to clear it up, this is simply not the case. You can have as many elements under the linear layout or whatever as needed.
For example if your base activity without the appdrawer is:
<RelativeLayout>
<TextView>
</TextView>
<Button>
<Button>
</RelativeLayout>
Simply do
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
<RelativeLayout>
<TextView>
</TextView>
<Button>
<Button>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView>
</ListView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Supposedly you can have a main activity where you put the navigation drawer and all sub activity classes get to use the drawer, but what i don't understand is how do you avoid repeating the layout containing the drawerfor all sub activities.

Navigation Drawers do NOT need to be in a fragment. You can create a class that will then be extended from all of your activities (as you were attempting to do).
public class SlideMenuActivity extends Activity{..}
your main activity would look like
public class MainActivity extends SlideMenuActivity{..}
The SlideMenuActivity can be implemented in the same way as described in creating a navigation activity.
All of your XML pages would include this:
<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"
android:background="#FFFFFF" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#111"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#CCCCCC"
android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Without seeing your logcat output, I am not sure why you are receiving an error, but hopefully this can help you get through a bit more of the navigation drawer code.
