how to change the Title in Navigation Drawer

Question

I would like that the title in the menu will change by the fragment name that was click. for the code below what i get is that, the actual title in each fragment is "Home" and its does not change. but i found that when i click on an item in the menu the title changing for a second and return back to the "Home" title. i implemented the ondrawer but still i don't know what could cause that.

my code:

Answer 1

Set it for all your fragment. This should do the work!!

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.id.your_fragment_layout, container,
            false);
    getActivity().setTitle("<your title>");

    return rootView;
}

Answer 2

try this:

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    ((AppCompatActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Your Title");
}

Answer 3

Ok i found the problem, your answer was good and i really change the title each time from the fragment but in addition i need to disable this line:

getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);

from the onDrawerOpened and onDrawerClosed

Answer 4

Do not set the title to ActionBar, set the title to Activity, you can do so from the activity or fragment. For Activity:

setTitle("New Title");

or for Fragment:

getActivity().setTitle("New Title");
