Disable gesture listener on DrawerLayout

Question

How can I disable the gesture recognition for the DrawerLayout? (swipe left to right) and only accept the close gesture (right to left) and open the drawer just with the home button?

Answer 1

This worked for me:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED); 

You can expand the drawer by tapping the Home button, and can use right-to-left swipe gesture to dismiss it. However, left-to-right swipe is no longer triggered.

Answer 2

For setDrawerLockMode(), this is in the code but not on the Android developer docs:

/**  * The drawer is unlocked.  */ public static final int LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED = 0;  /**  * The drawer is locked closed. The user may not open it, though  * the app may open it programmatically.  */ public static final int LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED = 1;  /**  * The drawer is locked open. The user may not close it, though the app  * may close it programmatically.  */ public static final int LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_OPEN = 2;
