In this post i will explain you how to create navigation drawer with custom tab view. I already create other post and create different type of navigation drawer.
In this drawer i am using custom tabs with custom toolbar and also show navigation drawer over the tabs.
Step 1: Create new project in Android Studio / Eclipse.
Step 2: Add appcompat-v7 library in your appplication and we also need these java class SlidingTabStrip & SlidingTabLayou to create custom tabs.
Step 3: Add style in your theme open style.xml file inside res ⇒ values ⇒ styles.xml and add style and material design arrow for navigation.
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<!-- colorPrimary is used for the default action bar background -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#2196F3</item>
<!-- colorPrimaryDark is used for the status bar -->
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#2196F3</item>
<!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated
which is used to tint widgets -->
<item name="colorAccent">#fff</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
</style>
<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
<item name="spinBars">true</item>
<item name="color">@android:color/white</item>
</style>
</resources>
Step 4: Create custom toolbar in your layout folder tool_bar.xml .
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:id="@+id/titletool" />
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>Step 5: Now open your activity_main.xml and add the bellow given code in this I just add tool_bar, DrawerLayout, SlidingTabLayout, ViewPager in this.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<include
android:id="@+id/tool_bar"
layout="@layout/tool_bar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The main content view -->
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.tabviewwithcustomtoolbar.SlidingTabLayout
android:id="@+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="2dp"
android:background="#59c" />
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/pager"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_weight="1"></android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#efefef" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
</LinearLayout
Step 6: Create new xml layout file inside layout ⇒ drawer_list_item.xml. In this i create my navigation menu design. In this i simply add one TextView in it you design you menu what ever you like.
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:textColor="#000"
android:background="?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall" />Step 7: Now create xml for fragments in viewpager
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.tabviewwithcustomtoolbar.Tab1">
<!-- TODO: Update blank fragment layout -->
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="@string/hello_blank_fragment" />
</FrameLayout>Step 8: Now in your MainActivity.java extends ActionbarActivity and declare the number of tabs and there names in array string.
package com.tabviewwithcustomtoolbar;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.view.GravityCompat;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
// Declaring Your View and Variables
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
Toolbar toolbar;
private String[] mPlanetTitles;
ViewPager pager;
ViewPagerAdapter adapter;
SlidingTabLayout tabs;
CharSequence Titles[] = {"Home", "Trinity Tuts","Trinity Blog","Trinity Tips"};
int Numboftabs = 4;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Creating The Toolbar and setting it as the Toolbar for the activity
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool_bar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mPlanetTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
// set a custom shadow that overlays the main content when the drawer opens
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerShadow(R.drawable.drawer_shadow, GravityCompat.START);
// set up the drawer's list view with items and click listener
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPlanetTitles));
// ActionBarDrawerToggle ties together the the proper interactions
// between the sliding drawer and the action bar app icon
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, /* host Activity */
mDrawerLayout, /* DrawerLayout object */
toolbar, /* nav drawer image to replace 'Up' caret */
R.string.drawer_open, /* "open drawer" description for accessibility */
R.string.drawer_close /* "close drawer" description for accessibility */
) {
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
//getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
// toolbartitle.setText(mTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
//getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
//toolbartitle.setText(mDrawerTitle);
invalidateOptionsMenu(); // creates call to onPrepareOptionsMenu()
}
};
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
//getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
//getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
//toolbartitle.setText("Nav");
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
selectItem(0);
}
// Creating The ViewPagerAdapter and Passing Fragment Manager, Titles fot the Tabs and Number Of Tabs.
adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), Titles, Numboftabs);
// Assigning ViewPager View and setting the adapter
pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
// Assiging the Sliding Tab Layout View
tabs = (SlidingTabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabs.setDistributeEvenly(true); // To make the Tabs Fixed set this true, This makes the tabs Space Evenly in Available width
// Setting Custom Color for the Scroll bar indicator of the Tab View
tabs.setCustomTabColorizer(new SlidingTabLayout.TabColorizer() {
@Override
public int getIndicatorColor(int position) {
return getResources().getColor(R.color.White);
}
@Override
public int getDividerColor(int position) {
return 0;
}
});
// Setting the ViewPager For the SlidingTabsLayout
tabs.setViewPager(pager);
}
private void selectItem(int i) {
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}Step 9: Create ViewPagerAdaptor.java class in which we extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter and then create constructor fragment manager.
package com.tabviewwithcustomtoolbar;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;
/**
* Created by trinity on 4/6/2015.
*/
public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
CharSequence Titles[]; // This will Store the Titles of the Tabs which are Going to be passed when ViewPagerAdapter is created
int NumbOfTabs; // Store the number of tabs, this will also be passed when the ViewPagerAdapter is created
// Build a Constructor and assign the passed Values to appropriate values in the class
public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, CharSequence mTitles[], int mNumbOfTabsumb) {
super(fm);
this.Titles = mTitles;
this.NumbOfTabs = mNumbOfTabsumb;
}
//This method return the fragment for the every position in the View Pager
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return new Tab1();
case 1:
return new Tab2();
case 2:
return new Tab1();
case 3:
return new Tab2();
}
return null;
}
// This method return the titles for the Tabs in the Tab Strip
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return Titles[position];
}
// This method return the Number of tabs for the tabs Strip
@Override
public int getCount() {
return NumbOfTabs;
}
}Step 10: Add two java classes for Tab1 and Tab2 .
package com.tabviewwithcustomtoolbar;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
/**
* A simple {@link Fragment} subclass.
*/
public class Tab1 extends Fragment {
public Tab1() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tab1, container, false);
}
}
All done!. After completing all these step your Navigation Drawer over CustomTabs is ready. Download the complete code from above Download link.
Happy coding……..
