I'm working on a material design version of my app using the appcompat v7 libraries, and I've hit an issue with the navigation drawer. When it opens, buttons in the material design toolbar cease to function - any touch outside the navigation drawer just closes the drawer. A following is a gif of what I mean
Here is the xml layout I'm using for the activity:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/action_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:elevation="4dp"
/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/note_list_container"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<net.rymate.notes.ui.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fabbutton"
android:layout_width="72dp"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp" />
</FrameLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="@+id/cat_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="?catBackColour" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
And here is the onCreate
code that initialises the drawer and the toolbar.
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ROBOTO_LIGHT = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "Roboto-Light.ttf");
ROBOTO_LIGHT_ITALICS = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "Roboto-LightItalic.ttf");
setContentView(R.layout.activity_notes);
if (findViewById(R.id.note_container) != null) {
// The detail container view will be present only in the
// large-screen layouts (res/values-large and
// res/values-sw600dp). If this view is present, then the
// activity should be in two-pane mode.
mTwoPane = true;
// In two-pane mode, list items should be given the
// 'activated' state when touched.
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
//list.setActivateOnItemClick(true);
}
if (!mTwoPane) {
final FloatingActionButton mFab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fabbutton);
mFab.init(Color.parseColor("#1e90ff"));
mFab.setFabDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_new));
mFab.showFab();
mFab.setOnClickListener(this);
list = new NotesListFragment(mFab);
} else {
list = new NotesListFragment();
}
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.action_toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.note_list_container, list)
.commit();
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout); // the layout
mDrawerLinear = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, /* host Activity */
mDrawerLayout, /* DrawerLayout object */
toolbar, /* toolbar */
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) {
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Rymate Notes");
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Categories");
supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
}
};
// Set the drawer toggle as the DrawerListener
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
pref = getSharedPreferences("rymatenotesprefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.cat_list);
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
mDbHelper = new NotesDbAdapter(this);
mDbHelper.open();
if (mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes().getCount() == 0) {
IntroFragment fragment = new IntroFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.note_list_container, fragment)
.commit();
}
getCategories(); // calls a function which populates the listview
}
Is there a way to possibly fix this?
Seems that touch event is stolen by the shadow of the drawer, i.e DrawerLayout
keeps intercepting the touch events, because Toolbar
is part of the content view, unlike the ActionBar
being on top of the decor view.
Possible work around is intercepting the touch event:
If it s between 0 (top) and Toolbar
height (bottom), dispatch the event directly to the Toolbar
object. Otherwise keep the normal behaviour.
Is same case for drawer toggle clicks?
Turns out Nikola Despotoski had the right idea - the touch event was stolen by the DrawerLayout. However instead of intercepting the touch event I just adjusted the activity layout like so:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/action_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize" >
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/note_list_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<net.rymate.notes.ui.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fabbutton"
android:layout_width="72dp"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp" />
</FrameLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="@+id/cat_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="?catBackColour"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</FrameLayout>
This has the intended effect of allowing touch events to be registered by the Toolbar
rather than the DrawerLayout.
