Android v7-sdk21 Hamburger Navigation Drawer toggle without show back arrow

Question

It is possible to just show the Android default hamburger navigation drawer without change to back arrow feature?

Answer 1

The animation you're referring to is handled in the onDrawerOpened(), onDrawerClosed(), and onDrawerSlide() methods of the ActionBarDrawerToggle class. To disable it, simply override those methods without calling through to the super's methods. For example:

ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(...) {
    @Override
    public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {

    }

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

    }
};
