I have a navigation drawer activity
, that have automatically generated these activity_student_home2
, app_bar_student_home
, content_student_home
, nav_header_student_home
layout files. I have separately created activity_student_home
layout.
By default the activity java class
has the acitivity_student_home2
layout as setContentView
. But instead, I want to use the acitivity_student_home
layout.
If I try to change the setContentView
to acitivity_student_home
then my navigation drawer view
does not work. How can I use the acitivity_student_home
layout as setContentView
?
activity_student_home layout:

Your activity_student_home
does not include your DrawerLayout
This is missing
<include
layout="@layout/app_bar_student_home"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
