Custom Listview in Navigation Drawer

Question

How can I customize a ListView in a Navigation Drawer, like the one in the 2nd picture here.

Answer 1

You can use NavigationView of Android Design Support Library (see: Android Developers Blog).

With NavigationView, you don't have to use ListView any more. You can populate the drawer menu simply with menu.xml.

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

    <!-- your content layout -->

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer"/>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
