Hide NavigationDrawer

Im my app i have an Activity called MainActivity it contains a dynamic fragment with id container which i switch depending on state usually my app can be in the state Syncing or Regular now i wan't to add a NavigationDrawerto and i want it to be visible in the ActionBar and on the left only if the MainActivityis not on the Syncingstate since that if the Activity Synching i should not be abble to use the drawer to navigate in my app. Im using the following activity layout

<!-- A DrawerLayout is intended to be used as the top-level content view using 
  match_parent for both width and height to consume the full space available. -->

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="pt.ecs.myenergy.MainActivity">

<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
     space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
     this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
     languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
     If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
     android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
     the container. -->
<fragment android:id="@+id/navigation_drawer"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:name="---------.NavigationDrawerFragment"
    tools:layout="@layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

The question is for a clever/best way to achieve this. I tought of a few but im not sure which one to use:

  1. Have two xml layouts for the activity, one with the drawer included other without it and use setContentView which would cause for the xml to be inflated not sure if this is a good aproach
  2. Use the merge tag with two childs one the drawer layout (with the container) other with only the container (for the syncing)

I would suggest doing none of those options. They both seem over complicate for no good reason for me.

you should lock the drawer closed using: drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED)

and if you're also using the an ActionBarDrawerToggle you disable it's indicator with drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false)
