Android Navigation Drawer Open On Activity Create

Question

I do have a simple requirement. I want new android Navigation Drawer to open upon start of Activity.

I have tried

mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(drawerListView);

in onCreate of host activity. But it didn't work.

Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

try to move the code to onResume() and set a flag that the action is done so it won't happen every time activity goes foreground

Answer 2

put this line

mDrawerLayout.openDrawer(drawerListView);

at the end of onCreate it workes fine.
