How to detect if navigation drawer is open?

Question

The title explains it all. All what I want to do is to know if the navigation drawer is open or not. I searched a lot on the net and found the method isDrawerOpen(int drawerGravity)but couldn't find a satisfactory answer which explains how to use it in a method. I would appreciate if anyone explains it to me.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Assuming you have defined a drawerlayout in xml:

DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout); ... if(mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {   //drawer is open } 

Answer 2

 mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);     mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(             this,                  /* host Activity */             mDrawerLayout,         /* DrawerLayout object */             R.drawable.ic_drawer,  /* nav drawer icon to replace 'Up' caret */             R.string.drawer_open,  /* "open drawer" description */             R.string.drawer_close  /* "close drawer" description */             ) {          /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */         public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {             super.onDrawerClosed(view);             getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);         }          /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */         public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {             super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);             getActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);         }     };      // Set the drawer toggle as the DrawerListener     mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle); 

That listener use:)
