DrawerToggle Hamburger icon not showing

Question

I am new to android. currently, I am making an android app with a navigation drawer. I managed to add the drawer. and when slid it works properly. but my problem is I cannot manage to add a hamburger icon.

my minimum sdk version is 17

I tried every solution given in the previous problems but didn't work.

My main activity code

package com.example.myapplication;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;

import androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar;
import androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout;



public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {




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



        Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
        getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        getSupportActionBar().setDefaultDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

        DrawerLayout drawer =(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, R.string.open, R.string.close);
        drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
        toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
        toggle.syncState();

    }
    // Menu icons are inflated just as they were with actionbar

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


}

        app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

Answer 1

Everything looks fine, You just need to pass the toolbar object into the ActionBarDrawerToggle constructer as a third argument.

ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, myToolbar, R.string.open, R.string.close);

here

Answer 2

Check out the following example:

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = null;

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

    Toolbar myToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(myToolbar);

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

    if (actionBar != null) {

        actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDefaultDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

        toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, myToolbar, R.string.open, R.string.close) {

            public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
                supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
            }

            public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
                supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
            }
        };
        toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
        drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
        toggle.syncState();
    }

}

@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if(toggle != null) {
        toggle.syncState();
    }
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    if (toggle != null) {
        toggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    }
}

}
