Left Navigation menu below toolbar and right navigation menu over toolbar

Question

I have two navigation menus in a drawer layout, Left and Right. I want the Left Navigation menu below the toolbar and Right Navigation Menu over the toolbar as shown in the diagram below:

How to achieve this?

My Layout is:

    <include
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>


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

and my Java Code is:

Toolbar toolbar;
    DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
    ActionBarDrawerToggle actionBarDrawerToggle;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_start);
        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        toolbar.setTitle("Home");
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.id_home_start);
        actionBarDrawerToggle=new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,  drawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
        drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(actionBarDrawerToggle);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
        actionBarDrawerToggle.syncState();
    }

Put your `Toolbar` in the `DrawerLayout`'s main content `ViewGroup`, and set the top margin on the left drawer to the height of the `Toolbar`. — Mike M., Jun 16 '16 at 04:43
Yes. But it darkens the toolbar which is not desired. Can you suggest something better?. And may i know why is the question downvoted? — Ratul Doley, Jun 16 '16 at 04:50
Set the `DrawerLayout`'s scrim color to transparent, and control the dimming yourself. — Mike M., Jun 16 '16 at 04:52
