is there any framework to implement ?
spending much time but can't find out how
can any expert advise/suggest/help me
I would appreciate your help very much
What you are looking for is navigation menu with layout_gravity="start".
Declare your layout like as shown below:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
tools:context=".MyActivity">
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_gravity="start">
//put your menu items here...
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
If u want to see the hamburger icon as well then use the code below:
actionBarDrawerToggle=new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(actionBarDrawerToggle);
and override onPostCreate as:
#Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
actionBarDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
Let me know if this is not enough for you...

I tried to implement a Drawer Layout in a fragment, however, if I use "android: layout_gravity="start" then my navigational just disappears.The same code works fine if I put it in an activity.
And if I try to swipe to the right, it also does not work (you can see it in the image I posted). For me, it looks like I can not swipe to the right and therefor the navigation view can not be opened?
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_navigation">
/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

By looking at this gist, you should add android:fitsSystemWindows="true" to the DrawerLayout and set its width to match_parent. My guess is, it should be the child NavigationView which can have a defined width.
I am new to Android app development and using Android studio. I want to place a Textview in ToolBar. Here is my code of ToolBar xml file:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FF5722"
android:elevation="4dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="Holler"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textStyle="bold|italic"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_title"
android:gravity="center"
/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
On my first activity it is showing as expected in centre. But when I launch new Activity the TextView is moving to bit right. Here is my code for FirstActivity:
toolbarHome = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool_bar_home); // Attaching the layout to the toolbar object
setSupportActionBar(toolbarHome);
final android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
if (actionBar != null) {
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
Please let me know if you require more code.
It is the default behaviour of toolbar. It is because of the margins of the back button. If it is a simple text, you can use the toolbar title to set a textview.
But if you want to use your textview in the toolbar. You want to hide the back button by calling :
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
Now you have to create your own back button by setting a ImageButton/ImageView with back arrow icon in the layout file along with your TextView to achieve the desired results.
I have been experiencing some issue with the SlidingDrawer in Android. I am building a screen with a horizontal sliding drawer. It is working fine, it is opening and closing as expected. I have set a bottomOffset as 50dip in order to see 50dpi of the content when the drawer is closed, but this is not happening.
When the drawer is closed, I am seeing the 50dip distance between the right side of the screen to the handle, but then the content view gets invisible so there is a 50dip black space between the handle and the screen edge, as the image below shows:
When I press the handle button, it seems that the content gets its visibility changed to visible, and then it appers. I would like to keep the content visible without having to press the handle, like in the imagem below:
I downloaded the SlidingDrawer source code from http://blog.sephiroth.it/2011/03/29/widget-slidingdrawer-top-to-bottom/ in order to try to change the code and get the expected result, but I am not getting.
The XML for the sliding drawer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<br.com.dina.partial.example.MultiDirectionSlidingDrawer
xmlns:my="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/br.com.dina.partial.example"
android:id="#+id/map_slider"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
my:handle="#+id/Handle"
my:content="#+id/ViewLayout"
my:direction="rightToLeft"
my:bottomOffset="-65dip"
android:layout_below="#+id/test">
<Button android:id="#+id/Handle" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="handle"/>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/ViewLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<com.markupartist.android.widget.ActionBar
android:id="#+id/actionbar"
style="#style/ActionBar"/>
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/ViewContent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
</br.com.dina.partial.example.MultiDirectionSlidingDrawer>
</RelativeLayout>
Is there a way to achieve what I want?
Many thanks
edited to add the xml
Use the onDrawerScrollListener, onDrawerOpenListener, and onDrawerCloseListener to change the visibility of certain items depending on the state of the drawer. So when you say "the drawer is closed...and the content view is invisible" then in your onDrawerCloseListener set the content view to VISIBLE. Give this a try and let me know how it goes.
EDIT so you did something like this?:
drawer.setOnDrawerCloseListener(new OnDrawerCloseListener(){
#Override
public void onDrawerClosed() {
//get the ViewContent by id and set visibility to VISIBLE
});
When my activity receives a new intent via onNewIntent, it updates the data of three Views, an ImageView, a TextView, and a VideoView. The problem is, the two other views just flash, then disappear when my VideoView comes on. After scattering a few breakpoints, I discovered that they appear when their content is set, but disappear when VideoView.onStart() is called in my MediaPlayer.onPrepared() method. I also have an AlertDialog show up when the menu button is pressed. After pressing the menu button, it shows up. I'm on Android API 9, as this is the API on the device I'm working on. I really need help, so I'd appreciate any advice.
Here's the layout. I don't think it's the issue though:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:keepScreenOn="true" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/marquee"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:focusable="false"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Large"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" >
</TextView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/marquee"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />
<VideoView
android:id="#+id/video"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/marquee"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/image" />
</RelativeLayout>
Take note that the TextView is meant to be a marquee; it's supposed to keep scrolling sideways, until it is disposed of. I discovered that when the text is too short for it to start the marquee, the TextView AND the ImageView disappear (as stated earlier, they appear for a split second, then disappear). However, when the text causes the marquee feature to activate, everything works.
CURRENTLY:
I got it to work by calling postInvalidateDelayed(500) on my ImageView and TextView after calling VideoView.start(). I think the start() method is causing the problem, and requires that other views call invalidate(). Also, for some reason, there needs to be a small delay in-between the call to start() and the call to invalidate().
The layout is the issue.
Your VideoView is declared as match_parent, match_parent, allowing it to consume the whole width and height of the screen. Since you declared it last on the xml file (You used RelativeLayout. Ordering matters), the TextView and the ImageView would be covered by the VideoView.
If you're confused,
match_parent is basically the same as fill_parent. It's just another name for fill_parent in android 2.3+
Now what can you do about it?
Reorder your views in such a way that the largest is declared first. In this case, VideoView, then ImageView, then TextView.
Also note that your ImageView has height set to fill_parent - you may not want that.
I created a method, but it seems very bad:
private void startVideo() {
this.videoView.start();
if (this.imageView != null)
this.imageView.postInvalidateDelay(500);
if (this.textView != null)
this.textView.postInvalidateDelay(500);
}
It works, but it makes me feel dirty.
The following simple layout shows full screen on an Android phone, but not on Google TV where it
it shows on only a part of the TV screen (top half and middle third) and there's some sort of wallpaper on the rest of it (just saying in case it's not that usual, documentation is rare as far as I could see).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.orb.androidplayer.view.VideoSurfaceView
android:id="#+id/video_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>
The problem isn't coming fom the video widget either, it's the
same if I remove it, add a TextView instead, try fill/match parent, etc...
Can anyone assist me with identifying the cause of the issue?
Try setting your application or activity theme to
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"
Try add element min SDK in AndroidManifest.xml
Exp: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
Remove the <supports-screens/> tag from the AndroidManifest.
