Building SideBar or Navigation Drawer in Android
Hello Guys, How are you today? Hope you all be fine..
Today we are going to see how to create sidebar or Navigation Drawer in Android.
1) Go to "res/layout/activity_main.xml" and create Navigation drawer there. The code looks like
drawer_list_item.xml
fragment_planet.xml
3) In the "res/values/strings.xml" write the following code.
main.xml
Now we are done. Post your questions in the comment. I will be happy to answer those.

Today we are going to see how to create sidebar or Navigation Drawer in Android.
1) Go to "res/layout/activity_main.xml" and create Navigation drawer there. The code looks like
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout2) Create two more Android xml files in the "res/layout" folder . For our case lets name it "drawer_list_item.xml" and "fragment_planet.xml" .
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<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="#111"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
drawer_list_item.xml
<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="#fff"
android:background="?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"/>
fragment_planet.xml
<ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#000000"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="32dp" />
3) In the "res/values/strings.xml" write the following code.
<resources>4) Next go to "res/menu/main.xml" .
<string name="app_name">Navigation Drawer Example</string>
<string-array name="planets_array">
<item>Mercury</item>
<item>Venus</item>
<item>Earth</item>
<item>Mars</item>
<item>Jupiter</item>
<item>Saturn</item>
<item>Uranus</item>
<item>Neptune</item>
</string-array>
<string name="drawer_open">Open navigation drawer</string>
<string name="drawer_close">Close navigation drawer</string>
<string name="action_websearch">Web search</string>
<string name="app_not_available">Sorry, there\'s no web browser available</string>
</resources>
main.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">5) Next go to "src/your_package_name/MainActivity.java" and paste the following code.
<item android:id="@+id/action_websearch"
android:icon="@drawable/action_search"
android:title="@string/action_websearch"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText" />
</menu>
