Don't display the overlay with the Android Navigation Drawer

Question

I was wondering if it's possible to remove the automatic overlay made by the recently implemented Navigation Drawer ? (The grey layer on the second picture)

Answer 1

You just need to set setScrimColor(int color) to your DrawerLayout :

mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.WHITE);
// OR
mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

Here is the official documentation from Android API: DrawerLayout - setScrimColor().

Hope this solves your problem! : )
