Android drawer open works only once

Question

Android drawer open works only once. I have tried several approaches. My Code:

   public void openDrawer() {
        ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
        drawer.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
        mDrawerToggle.syncState();
        if(drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
            drawer.closeDrawers();
        } else {
            drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        }
    }

and approach 2:

public void openDrawer() {
    if(drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        drawer.closeDrawers();
    } else {
        drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    }
}

In Both cases works only first time it is opened and closed.

EDIT Problem is that I call method from presenter. It is working if I bind it to OnClickListener in Activity. I guess I will need something like preventDefault.

Try this way, it works for me in many cases.

EDIT: Add this part to your onCreate() method. And call it only once.

ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
    mDrawerToggle.syncState();

then set a click listener to your custom button.

customButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(navigationView)) {
                    closeDrawer();
                } else {
                    openDrawer();
                }
            }
        });

these are helper methods

public void openDrawer() {
    drawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}

public void closeDrawer() {
    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}
