Can I use Navigation Drawer in older android like GingerBread? And If Yes , How can I use it without ActionBar as ActionBar is not available for Gingerbread..
Android Navigation Drawer is a sliding left menu that is used to display the important links in the application. Navigation drawer makes it easy to navigate to and fro between those links. It's not visible by default and it needs to opened either by sliding from left or clicking its icon in the ActionBar.
The navigation drawer is a UI panel that shows your app's main navigation menu. The drawer appears when the user touches the drawer icon in the app bar or when the user swipes a finger from the left edge of the screen.
The Navigation bar is the menu that appears on the bottom of your screen - it's the foundation of navigating your device.
You can use the Android Support Library for implementing newer API features, including Navigation Drawer, into apps targeted for API level 4 or greater
Make sure you've upgraded to the newest support library.
