Answer 5

If you have mDrawerLayout as your drawer layout, you can close it when it is open.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (this.mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        this.mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

On the right bottom of onNavigationItemSelected where the switch case ends you should right this. mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){

        }
   mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
   return true;
}
