Android Dual Navigation Drawer implementation.- ( Navigation Drawer on both sides).

Android Dual Navigation Drawer

Hi guys, Today we are going to implement a new feature in android which I call the "Android Dual Navigation Drawer". 

Android Dual Navigation drawer is a unique implementation which can be seen in some of the apps today.Now lets start the implementation for the android dual navigation drawer.

The Android Dual Navigation Drawer that we are going to implement will be looking like this

Requirements

1) Make sure to add "android-support-v7-appcompat library" as library project to the project you have created. 

For more reference to how to set up the android-support-v7-appcompat library please refer this link.

Step 1

--------

1.1)  Update the activity_main.xml like the following:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout 

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:background="#FFFFFF"

    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    

    <FrameLayout 

         android:id="@+id/Frame_Layout"

         android:layout_width="match_parent"

         android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    

    

    <ListView

        android:id="@+id/drawer_list_left"

        android:layout_width="240dp"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:layout_gravity="start"

        android:divider="@android:color/transparent"

        android:layout_marginLeft="-64dp"

        android:background="#FFFFFF"/>

       

        

    

     <ListView

        android:id="@+id/drawer_list_right"

        android:layout_width="240dp"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:layout_gravity="end"

        android:divider="@android:color/transparent"

        android:background="#FFFFFF"/>

        

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Note:- The important fact that has to be noticed here is that the
                                      1) Left side ListView's(drawer_list_left) layout gravity- start  
                                      2) Right side ListView's(drawer_list_right) layout gravity- end

1.2)  Create a xml called data.xml and enter the following:

<?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" >

    <TextView

        android:id="@+id/txtData"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:layout_marginLeft="67dp"

        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"

        android:text="TextView" />

    <ImageView

        android:id="@+id/imgView"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

</RelativeLayout>

1.3) Create a xml called header.xml and enter the following:

<?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" >

 
    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/rlheader"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="#1281A9">

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/imgLeftMenu"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:background="@drawable/menu_icon" />

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/imgRightMenu"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/imgLeftMenu"
            android:background="@drawable/menu_icon" />

 <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtLeftMenu"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imgLeftMenu"
            android:text="Left Menu"
            android:textColor="#FFF" />

<TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtRightMenu"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/txtLeftMenu"
            android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/txtLeftMenu"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/imgRightMenu"
            android:text="Right Menu"
             android:textColor="#FFF"  />
     
    </RelativeLayout>
 


</RelativeLayout>

}

Finally you will get a dual Navigation drawer that looks something like this.

                                          Hope you Enjoyed it & See you in the Next tutorial.
