How do I use DrawerLayout to display over the ActionBar Toolbar and under the status bar

Question

I ve seen in the new material design Side Nav spec that you can display the drawer over the action bar and behind the status bar  How can I implement this

All answers mentioned here are too old and lengthy.The best and short solution that work with latest Navigationview is

@Override
public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView, float slideOffset) {
    super.onDrawerSlide(drawerView, slideOffset);

    try {
        //int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
            // Do something for lollipop and above versions

        Window window = getWindow();

        // clear FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS flag:
        window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

        // add FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS flag to the window
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);

        // finally change the color to any color with transparency

         window.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDarktrans));}

    } catch (Exception e) {

        Crashlytics.logException(e);

    }
}

this is going to change your status bar color to transparent when you open the drawer

Now when you close the drawer you need to change status bar color again to dark.So you can do it in this way.

        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
        super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
        try {
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
    // Do something for lollipop and above versions

    Window window = getWindow();

    // clear FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS flag:
    window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);

    // add FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS flag to the window
    window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);

    // finally change the color again to dark
    window.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark));}
    } catch (Exception e) {
    Crashlytics.logException(e);
                    }
                    }

and then in main layout add a single line i.e

            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"

and your drawer layout will look like

            <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout     
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
            android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

and your navigation view will look like

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/navigation_header"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer"
        />

I have tested it and its fully working.Hope it helps someone.This may not be the best approach but it works smoothly and is simple to implement. Mark it up if it helps.Happy coding :)

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    lt  -- The important thing to note here is the added fitSystemWindows -- gt   lt 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  gt        lt  -- Your normal content view -- gt       lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  match parent          android orientation  vertical  gt            lt  -- We use a Toolbar so that our drawer can be displayed              in front of the action bar -- gt           lt 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    gt            lt  -- The rest of your content view -- gt        lt  LinearLayout gt        lt  -- 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  -- gt       lt LinearLayout         android layout width  304dp          android layout height  match parent          android layout gravity  left start          android fitsSystemWindows  true  gt            lt  -- Your drawer content -- gt        lt  LinearLayout gt    lt  android support v4 widget DrawerLayout gt    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   lt style name  Theme MyApp  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt       lt item name  android windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds  gt true lt  item gt       lt item name  android statusBarColor  gt  android color transparent lt  item gt       lt item name  android windowTranslucentStatus  gt true lt  item gt   lt  style gt    Note  If a  lt fragment android name  fragments NavigationDrawerFragment  gt  is used instead of   lt LinearLayout     android layout width  304dp      android layout height  match parent      android layout gravity  left start      android fitsSystemWindows  true  gt        lt  -- Your drawer content -- gt    lt  LinearLayout gt    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

Instead of using the ScrimInsetsFrameLayout    Isn t it easier to just add a view with a fixed height of 24dp and a background of primaryColor   I understand that this involves adding a dummy view in the hierarchy  but it seems cleaner to me   I already tried it and it s working well    lt android support v4 widget DrawerLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  xmlns tools  http   schemas android com tools  android id    id activity base drawer layout  android layout width  match parent  android layout height  match parent  gt        lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  match parent          android orientation  vertical  gt            lt  -- THIS IS THE VIEW I M TALKING ABOUT    -- gt           lt View             android layout width  match parent              android layout height  24dp              android background   attr colorPrimary    gt            lt android support v7 widget Toolbar             android id    id activity base toolbar              android layout width  match parent              android layout height   attr actionBarSize              android background   attr colorPrimary              android elevation  2dp              android theme   style ThemeOverlay AppCompat Dark    gt            lt FrameLayout             android id    id activity base content frame layout              android layout width  match parent              android layout height  match parent    gt        lt  LinearLayout gt        lt fragment         android id    id activity base drawer fragment          android name  com myapp drawer ui DrawerFragment          android layout width  240dp          android layout height  match parent          android layout gravity  start          android elevation  4dp          tools layout   layout fragment drawer    gt    lt  android support v4 widget DrawerLayout gt

With the release of the latest Android Support Library  rev 22 2 0  we ve got a Design Support Library and as part of this a new view called NavigationView  So instead of doing everything on our own with the ScrimInsetsFrameLayout and all the other stuff we simply use this view and everything is done for us   Example  Step 1  Add the Design Support Library to your build gradle file  dependencies          Other dependencies like appcompat     compile  com android support design 22 2 0      Step 2  Add the NavigationView to your DrawerLayout    lt android support v4 widget DrawerLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android       xmlns app  http   schemas android com apk res-auto       android id    id drawer layout       android layout width  match parent       android layout height  match parent       android fitsSystemWindows  true  gt   lt  -- this is important -- gt         lt  -- Your contents -- gt         lt android support design widget NavigationView          android id    id navigation           android layout width  wrap content           android layout height  match parent           android layout gravity  start           app menu   menu navigation items    gt   lt  -- The items to display -- gt    lt  android support v4 widget DrawerLayout gt    Step 3  Create a new menu-resource in  res menu and add the items and icons you wanna display    lt menu xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt        lt group android checkableBehavior  single  gt           lt item             android id    id nav home              android icon   drawable ic action home              android title  Home    gt           lt item             android id    id nav example item 1              android icon   drawable ic action dashboard              android title  Example Item  1    gt       lt  group gt        lt item android title  Sub items  gt           lt menu gt               lt item                 android id    id nav example sub item 1                  android title  Example Sub Item  1    gt           lt  menu gt       lt  item gt    lt  menu gt    Step 4  Init the NavigationView and handle click events   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity        NavigationView mNavigationView      DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout          Other stuff      private void init             mDrawerLayout    DrawerLayout  findViewById R id drawer layout           mNavigationView    NavigationView  findViewById R id navigation view           mNavigationView setNavigationItemSelectedListener new NavigationView OnNavigationItemSelectedListener                  Override             public boolean onNavigationItemSelected MenuItem menuItem                    mDrawerLayout closeDrawers                    menuItem setChecked true                   switch  menuItem getItemId                          case R id nav home                             TODO - Do something                         break                         TODO - Handle other items                                   return true                                      Step 5  Be sure to set android windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds and android statusBarColor in values-v21 otherwise your Drawer won t be displayed  under  the StatusBar   lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt       lt  -- Other attributes like colorPrimary  colorAccent etc  -- gt       lt item name  android windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds  gt true lt  item gt       lt item name  android statusBarColor  gt  android color transparent lt  item gt   lt  style gt    Optional Step  Add a Header to the NavigationView  For this simply create a new layout and add app headerLayout   layout my header layout  to the NavigationView   Result    Notes   The highlighted color uses the color defined via the colorPrimary attribute The List Items use the color defined via the textColorPrimary attribute The Icons use the color defined via the textColorSecondary attribute   You can also check the example app by Chris Banes which highlights the NavigationView along with the other new views that are part of the Design Support Library  like the FloatingActionButton  TextInputLayout  Snackbar  TabLayout etc
