</LinearLayout>

Where I made the Mistake? Help me i will be grateful to you guys.

Please add comment when you people downvoted the question. Because, I am unaware of android deeply. I want to correct my self . whether this question is wrong or not. Thankyou. — Noorul, May 13 '16 at 23:57
Probably downvoted because you had no code initially. You could try negative margins if there is 0 margin currently — OneCricketeer, May 14 '16 at 00:27
yes i tried the same thing you said. but the indicator hides when i try to set negative margin. — Noorul, May 14 '16 at 16:35

The drawer adds this padding because it is default for all items inside the Material Design Guidelines. As there is an issue with API 17 I have to set this programatically in this line: https://github.com/mikepenz/MaterialDrawer/blob/develop/library/src/main/java/com/mikepenz/materialdrawer/model/BasePrimaryDrawerItem.java#L104

You might also want to post the DrawerItems you use, as the screenshot does not look like you use the default items.

If you already create your own CustomDrawerItem you just want to set the padding to 0px again (If you extend from the BasePrimaryDrawerItem) If you do not extend from it you should be fine.

The drawer does not set this padding on the items anywhere else than here.
