EDIT: I wanna create something like drawer in Gmail app

Answer 1

Finally i have got it! This is the code I created to get an ExpandableListView with section titles. Now it's I can easily create three xml custom layouts for titles, groups and childrens.

It work for me, but I accept any code improvements to optimize memory usage, speed and so on.

private ExpandableListView mDrawerListView;
private List<Elemento> mainActions = new ArrayList<>();
private HashMap<Integer, List<String>> childActions = new HashMap<>();

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.frg_navigation_drawer, container, false);

    assert v != null;

    mDrawerListView = (ExpandableListView) v.findViewById(R.id.elvHome);
    mDrawerListView.setGroupIndicator(null);

    // add first title
    mainActions.add(new TitoloGruppo("Good guys"));                     // 0
    mainActions.add(new Azione("Admiral Ackbar", "Dagobah System"));    // 1
    mainActions.add(new Azione("Han Solo", "Millenium Falcon"));        // 2
    mainActions.add(new Azione("Yoda", "Dagobah System"));              // 3
    // add second title
    mainActions.add(new TitoloGruppo("Bad guys"));                      // 4
    mainActions.add(new Azione("Emperor", "Death star 2"));             // 5
    mainActions.add(new Azione("Jabba", "Tatooine"));                   // 6
    mainActions.add(new Azione("Grand Moff Tarkin", "Death star 1"));   // 7

    // Adding child quotes to Ackbar
    List<String> mainSubFive = new ArrayList<>();
    mainSubFive.add("It's a trap!");

    // Adding child quotes to Yoda
    List<String> mainSubThree = new ArrayList<>();
    mainSubThree.add("Do or do not; there is no try.");
    mainSubThree.add("There is … another … Sky … walker.…");
    mainSubThree.add("When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not ehh.");

    childActions.put(0, new ArrayList<String>());
    childActions.put(1, mainSubFive);
    childActions.put(2, new ArrayList<String>());

    childActions.put(4, new ArrayList<String>());
    childActions.put(5, new ArrayList<String>());
    childActions.put(6, new ArrayList<String>());

    mDrawerListView.setAdapter(new ExpandableAdapter(getActivity(), mainActions, childActions));
    mDrawerListView.setOnGroupClickListener(new ExpandableListView.OnGroupClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int groupPosition, long id) {
            List<String> list = childActions.get(groupPosition);
            if(list.size() > 0)
                return false;
            else

FYI the screen shot you have shown in your qsn also have Pinnned or sectioned listview.

ExpandableListView in navigation drawer:

Use this code DrawerLayoutTest for ExpandableListView in navigation drawer.

Update: Here is exactly what you looking for, give it at try for this michenux navigation-drawer , Git

Logic:

1>use ExpandableListView + michenux navigation-drawer drawer for design and Expandable list view and for that count of "3" items inside use jgilfelt's android-viewbadger lib.

2>You have to play around in getview(..) in the listview for disabling enabling the drop down icon of the expandable listview, it the item has no child (check for array or arraylist is null/empty) and make visible invisible the badger (drop down count icon/badger) thats it or simply change the list view item layout depending on the each item values Ex: for list row contains expandable childs load different layout with view badger !
