Android – How animate Burger to Arrow with Appcompat v7 21, Toolbar and DrawerLayout

androidandroid-appcompatdrawerlayoutdrawertoggletoolbar

I am using the android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar with a android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout. It works fine, the Burger icon is shown when the Navigation Drawer is closed, and the Arrow icon is shown when the Drawer is open.
I want to disable the drawer and animate the Burger icon into Arrow on some event in the app. I have tried to set the lock mode to closed, but the v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle is still showing the Burger and it opens the Drawer.

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Update:

No I can change the state of the icon and I can enable/disable the drawer, but the animations are not working with this approach:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.application_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout);
    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, R.string.string1, R.string.string2) {
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(view);
        }

        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
        }
    };

    //mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle); // not needed
    ...
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
            if (mDrawerLayout.getDrawerLockMode(GravityCompat.START) == LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED) {
                showDrawer();
            } else {
                handleBackButtonPress(); // On this stage the home button is a <-
            }
    }
    ...
}

private void setDrawerState(boolean isEnabled) {
    if (isEnabled) {
        mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
        mDrawerToggle.onDrawerStateChanged(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
        mDrawerToggle.syncState();

    } else {
        mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
        mDrawerToggle.onDrawerStateChanged(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
        mDrawerToggle.syncState();
    }
}

The drawer comes on the top of the Toolbar.

Have a look here, it describes how you solve it.

The essential part is the following:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>

<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
    <item name="spinBars">true</item>
    <item name="color">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

Android – How to center text horizontally and vertically in a TextView

I'm assuming you're using XML layout.

<TextView  
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/**yourtextstring**"
/>

You can also use gravity center_vertical or center_horizontal according to your need.

and as @stealthcopter commented in java: .setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

Android – How to use DrawerLayout to display over the ActionBar/Toolbar and under the status bar

New functionality in the framework and support libs allow exactly this. There are three 'pieces of the puzzle':

Using Toolbar so that you can embed your action bar into your view hierarchy.
Making DrawerLayout fitsSystemWindows so that it is layed out behind the system bars.
Disabling Theme.Material's normal status bar coloring so that DrawerLayout can draw there instead.

I'll assume that you will use the new appcompat.

First, your layout should look like this:

<!-- The important thing to note here is the added fitSystemWindows -->
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/my_drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <!-- Your normal content view -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <!-- We use a Toolbar so that our drawer can be displayed
             in front of the action bar -->
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar  
            android:id="@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />

        <!-- The rest of your content view -->

    </LinearLayout>

    <!-- Your drawer view. This can be any view, LinearLayout
         is just an example. As we have set fitSystemWindows=true
         this will be displayed under the status bar. -->
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="304dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="left|start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <!-- Your drawer content -->

    </LinearLayout>

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

Then in your Activity/Fragment:

public void onCreate(Bundled savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Your normal setup. Blah blah ...

    // As we're using a Toolbar, we should retrieve it and set it
    // to be our ActionBar
    Toolbar toolbar = (...) findViewById(R.id.my_awesome_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    // Now retrieve the DrawerLayout so that we can set the status bar color.
    // This only takes effect on Lollipop, or when using translucentStatusBar
    // on KitKat.
    DrawerLayout drawerLayout = (...) findViewById(R.id.my_drawer_layout);
    drawerLayout.setStatusBarBackgroundColor(yourChosenColor);
}

Then you need to make sure that the DrawerLayout is visible behind the status bar. You do that by changing your values-v21 theme:

values-v21/themes.xml

<style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>

Note: If a <fragment android:name="fragments.NavigationDrawerFragment"> is used instead of

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="304dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="left|start"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <!-- Your drawer content -->

</LinearLayout>

the actual layout, the desired effect will be achieved if you call fitsSystemWindows(boolean) on a view that you return from onCreateView method.

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, 
                         ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View mDrawerListView = inflater.inflate(
        R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer, container, false);
    mDrawerListView.setFitsSystemWindows(true);
    return mDrawerListView;
}
