An Easy and Good solution is set fitsSystemWindows=false for

android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout

that has id as

android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"

And for navigationView set layout_marginTop as ?attr/actionBarSize that would get the actionbar size and set it as margin

Here is complete activity_main.xml code that has both the changes listed above.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
    tools:openDrawer="start">

    <include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_main"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"

        app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer" />
    <!--app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_main"-->
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

certainly android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize" do the job in

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/my_drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize">

But the problem is drawerlayout is top of the toolbar. That is why the fading here. you can remove fading by

mDrawerLayout.setScrimColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));

But on some devices it may look wired.

Solution

When working with Android studio. We can create NavigationDrawerActiviity There are 3 files named

activity_main.xml

app_bar_main.xml

nav_header_main.xml

content_main.xml

So we can skip app_bar_main.xml and we can remove the fading.

Step 1

Make the root view of the activity main as Vertical LinearLayout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.example.MainActivity">
</LinearLayout>

In activity_main.xml add DrawerLayout and include content_main.xml in DrawerLayout. and Add AppBarLayout above the DrawerLayout.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.qproinnovations.schoolmanagement.activity.HomeActivity">
    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
            app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" >

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

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
    <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        tools:openDrawer="start">
    <!-- drawer view -->
        <include layout="@layout/content_main" />
<!-- drawer content -->
        <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
            android:id="@+id/nav_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            app:menu="@menu/activity_home_drawer" />
    </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Step 2

add and replace setContentView() of NavigationDrawerActiviity to

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Finally we have

If you are using custom toolbar then use the drawer layout in this way..

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

    <!-- The toolbar -->
    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar  
        android:id="@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary" />

    <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/my_drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <!-- drawer view -->
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="304dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="left|start">
            ....
        </LinearLayout>

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

</LinearLayout>

and if you are not using custom toolbar then you have to set margin top to the drawer layout..

android:layout_marginTop ="?android:attr/actionBarSize"

Your drawer covering your toolbar,to avoid that try below code

<RelativeLayout 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="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="56dp"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
        app:theme="@style/toolBarStyle"
        app:titleTextAppearance="@style/Toolbar.TitleText" />

    <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/container"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent" />

        <fragment
            android:id="@+id/navigation_drawer"
            class="com.buzzintown.consumer.drawer.NavigationDrawerFragment"
            android:layout_width="310dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"

Create a layout like this:

 <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:elevation="4dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        >


        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical"

            >
            <include
                android:id="@+id/tool_bar"
                layout="@layout/toolbar"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                />


            <FrameLayout
                android:id="@+id/content_frame"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:background="@drawable/bg_new">


    <put your layout here................>

            </FrameLayout>



        </LinearLayout>

        <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
            android:id="@+id/navigation"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_gravity="start"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
