Navigation Drawer

The navigation drawer is a panel that displays the app’s main navigation options on the left edge of the screen. It is hidden most of the time, but is revealed when the user swipes a finger from the left edge of the screen or, while at the top level of the app, the user touches the app icon in the action bar.

for achieve what you asked you have to use Fragments

Fragment represents a behavior or a portion of user interface in an Activity. You can combine multiple fragments in a single activity to build a multi-pane UI and reuse a fragment in multiple activities. You can think of a fragment as a modular section of an activity, which has its own lifecycle, receives its own input events, and which you can add or remove while the activity is running (sort of like a "sub activity" that you can reuse in different activities).

You have to add fragments in that activity where the navigation drawer exist. Whenver the user will click on the option in the navigation drawer the view should be changed by replacing with the required fragment.So by using the fragments user will stay on the same activity but just the views will be changed in that activity.
you can refer to the fragments documentation provided by android developers. https://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html
