I am having a problem with implementing a navigation drawer in ios. I have found the Sidebar Navigation component , flyout navigation, Monotouch.Navigation and some others.
The flyout Navigation approach works but i am finding it difficult to customize the side menu because it extends the UITableview controller. It would be easier to customize it if it was a UIViewcontroller instead.
The Sidebar Navigation allows for customiszation but selecting an item causes the app to freeze and I am unable to disable the drawer on the login screen.
Would really like some suggestions if there is an easier way to implement this or am i missing something. (Take note, the drawer should only show after the user has passed the login screen and taken to the home screen).

The animation when tapping the hamburger menu is working perfectly (though the css positioning is off, and needs to be fixed). But when the user taps one of the links in the nav (whether it is a new page or the page they are on), I want the animation in reverse (with either the current page or the new page, depending upon which link they press)
Code in CodeSandbox
Any ideas on the one, or probably many things I am doing wrong?
I'm building my first Universal Windows Platform (UWP) App and am trying to implement the popular "Hamburger Menu" using the SplitView class.
Inspired by many samples, the items hosted on the SplitView pane are re-styled RadioButton controls, with a vertical highlight-rectangle, an icon and a text. The appearance is similar to that of the Groove app.
I'm now trying to implement navigation and selection using the keyboard, and this now bring a little focus-rect around the items in the SplitView pane. However, since the pane clips its contents when its DisplayMode is either CompactInline or CompactOverlay, the focus rectangle is also clipped, which is not the behavior a user would expect.
Please, can anyone advise on how to property display the focus rectangle in this situation ?
Just an idea, what if you set the width of all radio button's to be same as the CompactPaneLength property of SplitView. The default is 48 DIPs.
I'm looking at different variations of login screens which have material design elements.
I found the Inbox app quite interesting.
The toolbar (action bar) appears to be mid screen. And the (action bar) snaps up to the right position when editing text.
Questions:
Is this a standard behaviour across 5.0?
How do they achieve this?
The UI element you are seeing on the top, playing the role of an ActionBar is actually the Toolbar widget.
A Toolbar is a generalization of action bars for use within application layouts. While an action bar is traditionally part of an Activity's opaque window decor controlled by the framework, a Toolbar may be placed at any arbitrary level of nesting within a view hierarchy. An application may choose to designate a Toolbar as the action bar for an Activity using the setActionBar() method.
You can have multiple toolbars in an Activity. The toolbars can have different heights. The standard height of the toolbar in portrait is 56dp.
Update:
Default height:
Mobile Landscape: 48dp
Mobile Portrait: 56dp
Tablet/Desktop: 64dp
For extended app bars, the height is equal to the default height plus content increment(s).
You can read more from the Material design specification.
For implementing it you just set the layout_height attribute in the layout file. Of course extracting the number as a dimension resource is always a good idea.
Following Android guidelines I have added ActionBarDrawerToggle which brings up a DrawerLayout.
This is fine but I can't help feeling my users will have a hard time noticing it since it's so tiny.
Before that I had several tabs in the ActionBar but there were too many tabs so I did replace them with the DrawerLayout as they say to do when you have more than 3 tabs.
However, are there any techniques to make the Drawer Toggle more prominent without breaking up the Android Design Guidelines. Are there any examples to that?
As detailed in the Navigation Drawer Interaction Design Guidelines:
Introduce the user to the drawer at first use
Upon first launch of your app, introduce the user to the navigation drawer by automatically opening it. This ensures that users know about the navigation drawer and prompts them to learn about the structure of your app by exploring its content. Continue showing the drawer upon subsequent launches until the user actively expands the navigation drawer manually. Once you know that the user understands how to open the drawer, launch the app with the navigation drawer closed.
This ensures that users understand that the Navigation Drawer exists and that they notice the drawer toggle animating as they close/open the drawer.
I want to develop a panel with animation same as notification panel. I mean to say the notification panel is a cool control where you grab and slide down the notification bar and see all the notifications.
Actually, I am having 2 UI , 1st should be shown with Button at top, when user click on that button, the 2nd UI with listview items should be slide down same as notification panel and again when user click or drag the 2nd UI at the top side, then 2nd UI should be become invisible. I hope i made clear my question.
From Christian's answer, I am trying to use a sliding drawer that will display a
list of options. I need this to expand over the current ListView on the page.
So if anybody know how to implement such layout or UI with sliding down animation then please share it.
Please suggest how to build with such control or layout? any ideas or suggestions
Thanx
Have you tried the SlidingDrawer widget?
Paresh I found a solution in this post about sliding drawers.
android misc widgets has it implemented , though it still has some flaws but it will definitely prove helpful.
Though in the same SO post CommonsWare has quoted :
...
You similarly cannot make a
SlidingDrawer that descends from the
top.
Good Luck.
You can use SlidingTray from: http://aniqroid.sileria.com to make this happen

Alternatively you can also use a custom PopupWindow class which is part of Android API.
