Toggle Button in Navigation Drawer

Question

I am trying to implement a toggle button into the Navigation Drawer Project, that Android Studio can automatically generate. In the end I want to have something like this ("Downloaded only"-Button):

Unfortunately I don't understand how to add a toggle button to the ListView of the NavDrawer. I could probably use one of the "Custom NavDrawer Libs" out there but I would like to understand the way Google proposes it with the auto generated example.

Any ideas on how to implement this into the default NavDrawer Project?

Answer 1

I would do something like this: instead of using a listview I would use an RecyclerView. Then I create three different layout definitions for the label with icon, the divider and the label with optional switch. Your RecyclerView Adapter should extend Form RecyclerView.Adapter. For each of those three layouts you should create an own implementation of ViewHolder. Now you have to create several classes for the list items and one superclass for all of them. In your Adapter you have to override the getViewType method. Tomorrow when I'm at work I could post some demo code for you.

That would be awesome, thank you! EDIT: I've tried for several hours to get the L&F of the material design rules and finally ended up in using this: github.com/mikepenz/MaterialDrawer If you could base your modifications on this example, I would be really grateful. :-) – Smaragdite

My code is my own implementation of diffrent items iside the navDrawer. Sorry i seen yout Edit to late for changes. Try my example, maybe it will help you. – Jenette

Thanks a lot, I will have a look at your really extensive edit. If it is not too much asked, could you maybe zip your code and upload it somewhere? I tried to copy everything in a project but still get plenty of errors... – Smaragdite

Sure. Here's the Link. Its a Android-Studio project using gradle. drive.google.com/… – Jenette

Thank you very much, I'll try to merge your solution with the drawer I mentioned in my edit. It is not based on fragments, but hopefully I will manage to patch it together. Herzlichen Dank ;-) – Smaragdite
