This tutorial is very useful if you are using material design navigation drawer. In Android's Lollipop navigation drawer it provide smooth animation when we swipe across the screen from left edge. You may use to this same functionality in older versions, But now you have to use android appcompat v-7.21.0.+ support library to give same effect to older version of android app.

Step-1 Before to start, Create a new Project in Android Studio then add

 `compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'` libraries in your buid.gradle 

Step-2 Add colorPrimary and colorPrimaryDark in your color.xml file.

<resources>
    <color name="colorPrimary">#00AFF0</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#038BBF</color>
</resources>

Step-3 Add drawer's open/close string value in your strings.xml file.

<resources>
 <string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
    <string name="drawer_open">open</string>
    <string name="drawer_close">close</string>
</resources>

Step-4 Create activity_main.xml file for MainActivity.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <include layout="@layout/toolbar" />


    <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/drawerLayout"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <!-- activity view -->
        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:background="#fff"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <TextView
                android:layout_centerInParent="true"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:textColor="#000"
                android:text="Activity Content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
        </RelativeLayout>

        <!-- navigation drawer -->
        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_gravity="left|start"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:background="#fff"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/left_drawer"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:divider="#eee"
                android:background="#fff"
                android:dividerHeight="1dp" />
        </RelativeLayout>

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

</LinearLayout>

Step-5 Create toolbar.xml layout file .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Step-6 Create MainActivity.java class which must extends ActionBarActivity and set your toolbar as support actionbar.

import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    private Toolbar toolbar;
    private DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
    private ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle;
    private ListView leftDrawerList;
    private ArrayAdapter<String> navigationDrawerAdapter;
    private String[] leftSliderData = {"Home", "Settings", "Log Out", "About", "Contact Me"};

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        nitView();

        if (toolbar != null) {
            toolbar.setTitle("My Navigation Drawer");
            setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        }
        initDrawer();
    }

    private void nitView() {
        leftDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout);
        navigationDrawerAdapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>( MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, leftSliderData);
        leftDrawerList.setAdapter(navigationDrawerAdapter);
    }

    private void initDrawer() {

        drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {

            @Override
            public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
                super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);

            }

            @Override
            public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
                super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);

            }
        };
        drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
        drawerToggle.syncState();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        drawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        if (drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Step-7 Create styles.xml in values folder .

<resources>

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>


        <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
    </style>

    <style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
        <item name="spinBars">true</item>
        <item name="color">@android:color/black</item>
    </style>

</resources>

Step-8 Your AndroidManifest.xml .

<manifest
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.android.mylollipopnavigationdrawer">

  <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"><!--splash screen-->
        <activity
            android:name="com.android.mylollipopnavigationdrawer.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>
