this is the first application I am creating using a NavigationDrawer. I have a pretty simple question. How do I make the first page in the NavigationDrawer the main one? Also I'm not too familiar with formatting since this is my first time using the drawer so I would appreciate it if someone more familiar could tell me if I am doing it correctly. Right now each page just displays text but eventually it will do more. And one of my questions is how do I make it so that clicking a page in the drawer can open up a new page using a RelativeLayout for example. From my understanding Adapters are only for Views, would I create a completely new activity and call startActivity() in my iteration for the drawerclick? If so, is that efficient? Meaning will it take a long time for the page to load? My main activity is:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private String[] mPages;
private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private CharSequence mDrawerTitle;
private CharSequence mTitle;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.drawer_layout);
mPages = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.page_titles);
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.drawer_list_item, mPages));
mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open,
R.string.drawer_close) {
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
}
/** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
getActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
}
};
// Set the drawer toggle as the DrawerListener
mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new DrawerItemClickListener());
getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
}
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Pass the event to ActionBarDrawerToggle, if it returns
// true, then it has handled the app icon touch event
if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
// Handle your other action bar items...
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
private class DrawerItemClickListener implements ListView.OnItemClickListener {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selectItem(position);
}
}
/** Swaps fragments in the main content view */
private void selectItem(int position) {
// Create a new fragment and specify the planet to show based on position
Fragment fragment;
if(position == 0){
fragment = new OneFragment();
// Insert the fragment by replacing any existing fragment
android.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment)

// Insert the fragment by replacing any existing fragment

// Insert the fragment by replacing any existing fragment
android.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();

}
// Highlight the selected item, update the title, and close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
setTitle(mPages[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);

I apologize for the lengthy question, but the developer site wasn't helping out too much and I want to make sure I do this correctly the first time so I don't have to go back too much
