Android - Is Navigation Drawer from right hand side possible?

Question

http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html

According to this doc, it doesn't say if it is possible to implement drawer from right hand side. Is it even possible? :(

Answer 1

The NavigationDrawer can be configured to pull out from the left, right or both. The key is the order of appearance of the drawers in the XML declaration, and the layout_gravity attribute. Here is an example:

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:baselineAligned="false" >
    </FrameLayout>

    <!-- Left drawer -->

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice" />

    <!-- Right drawer -->

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/right_drawer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:choiceMode="singleChoice" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
