The navigation drawer is a side menu panel that consists of different navigating fragments. The menu is provided at the left of the screen which opens and closes as per your user requirements, There are different fragments present in the menu, so when you click on any one fragment it will lead you to a different screen.
The best example would be Gmail App, when you click on the menu a side panel opens up that consists of All Inboxes, Primary, Promotions, and Socials.

lavender_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"> <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="@color/lavender"/> <corners android:radius="30dp"/> </shape>
Step 6: Add Images and Vector Asset in Drawables Folder.
I have added two images, the first is the logo image and the second is the header image.
Further, I have added five vector assets. Icon Name – Home, Settings, Info(About), Exit(Logout), Share, Person.
Step 7: Create four blank fragments and name them as follows:
HomeFragment, SettingsFragment, AboutFragment, ShareFragment.
Step 8: nav_menu.xml
Right-click on res -> Android Resource Directory and select the menu then right-click on the menu directory and click on New -> Menu Resource File and name “nav_menu”.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:showIn = "navigation_view"> <group android:checkableBehavior="single"> <item android:id="@+id/nav_home" android:icon="@drawable/nav_home" android:title="Home"/> <item android:id="@+id/nav_settings" android:icon="@drawable/nav_settings" android:title="Settings"/> <item android:id="@+id/nav_share" android:icon="@drawable/nav_share" android:title="Share"/> <item android:id="@+id/nav_about" android:icon="@drawable/nav_about" android:title="About Us"/> </group> <item android:title=""> <menu> <item android:id="@+id/nav_logout" android:icon="@drawable/nav_logout" android:title="Logout"/> </menu> </item> </menu>
Step 9: nav_header.xml
Right-click on layout -> Layout Resource File -> nav_header
<?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="176dp" android:background="@drawable/headerbkg" android:gravity="bottom" android:padding="16dp" android:orientation="vertical" android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"> <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" app:cardCornerRadius="35dp" app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/white"> <com.google.android.material.imageview.ShapeableImageView android:layout_width="70dp" android:layout_height="70dp" android:id="@+id/navImage" android:src="@drawable/aklogo" android:scaleType="centerCrop" app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/roundedImageViewRounded"/> </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView> <TextView android:id="@+id/navName" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="@color/white" android:text="Name" android:textStyle="bold"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/navEmail" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="@color/white" android:layout_marginBottom="16dp" android:textSize="14sp" android:text="email" /> </LinearLayout>
