How to make navigation drawer static to all activities

I have 3 activities here and I want each activity to inherit my navigation drawer. I have looked around at many other resources, but I am still a little confused as how to implement it.

The following is my BaseActivity, HomeActivity, and ScheduleActivity

heres my base activity:

public class BaseActivity extends Activity {

ExpandableListAdapter listAdapter;
ExpandableListView expListView;

public DrawerLayout drawer;
ImageView navDrawerBtn;

HashMap<String, List<String>> listDataChild;
List<String> listDataHeader;
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> list = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {


    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
    }


    navDrawerBtn = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.headerDrawer);
    expListView = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.lvExp);

    if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
        expListView.setIndicatorBounds(402,465);    
    } else {        
        expListView.setIndicatorBoundsRelative(402,465);    
    } 

    drawer = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        ;
    prepareListData();



    navDrawerBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(!drawer.isDrawerOpen(expListView)) {
                drawer.openDrawer(expListView);
                } else {
                    drawer.closeDrawer(expListView);
                }

            }
        });


    //listAdapter = new ExpandableListAdapter(this, listDataHeader, listDataChild);

    // setting list adapter
    expListView.setAdapter(listAdapter);

    // Listview Group click listener
    expListView.setOnGroupClickListener(new OnGroupClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
                int groupPosition, long id) {
            // Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
            // "Group Clicked " + listDataHeader.get(groupPosition),
            // Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return false;
        }
    });

    // Listview Group expanded listener
    expListView.setOnGroupExpandListener(new OnGroupExpandListener() {

        @Override
        public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    listDataHeader.get(groupPosition) + " Expanded",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

    // Listview Group collasped listener
    expListView.setOnGroupCollapseListener(new OnGroupCollapseListener() {

        @Override
        public void onGroupCollapse(int groupPosition) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    listDataHeader.get(groupPosition) + " Collapsed",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
    });

    // Listview on child click listener
    expListView.setOnChildClickListener(new OnChildClickListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
                int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id) {

            switch (childPosition) {
            case 0: 
                Intent a = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(a);
                break;

            case 1: 
                Intent b = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ScheduleActivity.class);
                startActivity(b);
                break;
}
            return false;
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 //             Toast.makeText(
//                      getApplicationContext(),
//                      listDataHeader.get(groupPosition)
//                              + " : "
//                              + listDataChild.get(
//                                      listDataHeader.get(groupPosition)).get(
//                                      childPosition), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
//                      .show();
//              return false;
        }
    });
 }


/*
 * Preparing the list data
 */
private void prepareListData() {


    listDataHeader = new ArrayList<String>();
    listDataChild = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();

    // Adding child data
    listDataHeader.add("VRP Medical Bay");
    //listDataHeader.add("");
    //listDataHeader.add("");

    // Adding child data

    List<String> listUnderVRP = new ArrayList<String>();

    listUnderVRP.add("eDataClinical");
    listUnderVRP.add("Schedule");
    listUnderVRP.add("Dictate");
    listUnderVRP.add("View Messages");
    listUnderVRP.add("Reports for Signature");
    listUnderVRP.add("View Billing");
    listUnderVRP.add("View State");


    listDataChild.put(listDataHeader.get(0), listUnderVRP); // Header, Child data
    //listDataChild.put(listDataHeader.get(1), nowShowing);
    //listDataChild.put(listDataHeader.get(2), comingSoon);


}



 }

heres my schedule activity:

public class ScheduleActivity extends BaseActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.schedule);


    drawer = (DrawerLayout)findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

my navigationdrawer layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<RelativeLayout

    android:layout_height="73dp"
    android:background="@color/actionbar" >

    <ImageView

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_drawer"
        android:contentDescription="@string/desc" />

    <ImageView

        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/headerDrawer"
        android:src="@drawable/e_icon"
        android:contentDescription="@string/desc"  />

    <TextView

        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imageView1"
        android:text="@string/actionbar_title"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:textSize="32sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:typeface="monospace" />

</RelativeLayout>

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <!-- The main content view -->
        <FrameLayout
            android:id="@+id/content_frame"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />
        <!-- The navigation drawer -->

         <ExpandableListView
            android:id="@+id/lvExp"
            android:layout_width="470dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:groupIndicator="@drawable/group_selector"
             android:transcriptMode="alwaysScroll"
            android:layout_gravity="start"

            android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" >
        </ExpandableListView>
    </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

</LinearLayout>

and my schedule layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >   

</LinearLayout>

A better, easier & recommended way is to use 1 Activity & 3 fragments instead of 3 activities.

3 activities means, 3 view, which means 3 times your drawer would be created.

I suggest 1 Activity & 3 fragments (drawer would be created only once, just the main page would keep getting replaced) because that is what API suggests:

http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html

So make your navigation drawer like this:

(with default action bar)...http://www.androidhive.info/2013/11/android-sliding-menu-using-navigation-drawer/

(without default action bar or your own action bar)...Using Navigation Drawer without TitleBar or ActionBar (my answer)

Please fallow below steps

  1. You should keep the navigation drawer code in BaseActivity(a super class for all the activityes in your project which requires navigationDrawer) and set the layout required for navigationDrawer in onCreate() of BaseActivity.

  2. Extend the BaseActivity for all the activities which requires navigationDrawer.

  3. override onCreate method in your Activity and dont forgrt to write super.onCreate() which will create the layout required for navigationDrawer and then add your activity specific layout to the navigationDrawer layout which is created.

in onCreate of Schedule don't call setContentView instead do this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View contentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.schedule, null, false);
    mDrawer.addView(contentView, 0); 
}

make mDrawer in MainActivity protected. and in R.layout.drawer_layout just keep drawer tag and the element with gravity left(or right).
