I want to achieve something like this for my navigation drawer:
I followed this answer from Stack Overflow and almost got the thing except the view is not viewing properly. This is the answer I followed: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37336064/5816306
But what I am getting is something like this:
As you can see, in my view the navigation drawer is coming separately. It not getting the whole window and the view is separate. I want to show it as the first image like the whole screen should have only one image and a small part of the main screen should be shown like in the first image.
My XML code for drawer activity:
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
app:elevation="0dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/splash"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/holder"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="@color/colorAccent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
layout="@layout/app_bar_main2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
app:menu="@menu/activity_main2_drawer" />
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
This is navigation header XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 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="@dimen/nav_header_height"
android:background="@drawable/side_nav_bar"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="@string/nav_header_desc"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
app:srcCompat="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
android:text="@string/nav_header_title"
android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/nav_header_subtitle" />
</LinearLayout>
And my Main Activity code is:
private AppBarConfiguration mAppBarConfiguration;
View contentView;
DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
private static final float END_SCALE = 0.7f;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
drawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
contentView = findViewById(R.id.content);
NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
// Passing each menu ID as a set of Ids because each
// menu should be considered as top level destinations.
mAppBarConfiguration = new AppBarConfiguration.Builder(
R.id.nav_home, R.id.nav_gallery, R.id.nav_slideshow)
.setDrawerLayout(drawerLayout)
.build();
NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, navController, mAppBarConfiguration);
NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(navigationView, navController);
drawerLayout.setScrimColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(new DrawerLayout.SimpleDrawerListener() {
@Override
public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView, float slideOffset) {
// Scale the View based on current slide offset
final float diffScaledOffset = slideOffset * (1 - END_SCALE);
final float offsetScale = 1 - diffScaledOffset;
contentView.setScaleX(offsetScale);
contentView.setScaleY(offsetScale);
// Translate the View, accounting for the scaled width
final float xOffset = drawerView.getWidth() * slideOffset;
final float xOffsetDiff = contentView.getWidth() * diffScaledOffset / 2;
final float xTranslation = xOffset - xOffsetDiff;
contentView.setTranslationX(xTranslation);
}
@Override
public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
}
}
);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main2, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(this, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
return NavigationUI.navigateUp(navController, mAppBarConfiguration)
|| super.onSupportNavigateUp();
}


NavigationView's elevation to 0, set its background to transparent, and set your image as the background on theDrawerLayout.DrawerLayoutjust like you would on any otherView.DrawerLayoutnow handles the drawer elevation itself internally, so you would setapp:elevation="0dp"on the<DrawerLayout>instead.
