How to open navigation drawer on button click in main fragment?

Question

I have made an app with one activity which uses a navigation drawer to open a number of different fragments. I have the actionbar drawertoggle, but it is not very visible. If I place a button in the onCreateView in my main fragment(the fragment that appears when my app first starts up), how can I get it to open the navigation drawer controlled by my activity?

This seems to work. The answer is much simpler than I thought it would be.

@Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,         Bundle savedInstanceState) {     View fragView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mainmenu, container, false);     button1 = (Button) fragView.findViewById(R.id.button1);              mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);     mDrawerList = (ListView)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);     button1.setOnClickListener(this);     return fragView; }   @Override public void onClick(View v) {                 mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(mDrawerList);                } 

Thank you for your answers.

Answer 1

if you need open the slide:

mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(Gravity.LEFT); //Edit Gravity.START need API 14 

if you need close the slide

mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.LEFT); //Edit Gravity.START need API 14 

EXAMPLE

my mDrawerLayout is instanced here:

mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.my_drawer_layout); 

my slide state:

mSlideState=false; 

if you need to know the slide menu state (closed, opened). Use this code:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,      mDrawerLayout,      R.drawable.ic_menu_slide,     0,     0){ @Override public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {                            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);     mSlideState=false;//is Closed } @Override public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {                            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);     mSlideState=true;//is Opened }}); 

finally. You can use your click event like this:

public void clickEventSlide(){ if(mSlideState){                     mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.END); }else{                   mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(Gravity.END); }} 

In my case, my slide menu is at the right (Gravity.END), but if you need it on the left, try with Gravity.START
