<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
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" />
<!-- Add The mainmenu-->
// add a linearLayout with 3 row of imagaeView
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<Mvx.MvxListView
local:MvxBind="ItemsSource MenuItems; ItemClick SelectMenuItemCommand"
local:MvxItemTemplate="#layout/item_menu"
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#111" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Problem:
How to add a linearLayout with many rows into this Navigational drawer that using MvxListView.
The NavigationDrawer is on the left side.
Questions:
Must I use FrameLayout?
Can I replace FrameLayout with LinearLayout?

Answer 1

DrawerLayout only supports two child views.
The first element must always be the content view, the second will be what is in the drawer, and you must specify a gravity indicating whether the drawer is coming in from the left or the right.
If you want more than a ListView in the drawer, just wrap the contents in another layout such as RelativeLayout, FrameLayout or LinearLayout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
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 -->
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- add other views here -->
<Mvx.MvxListView
local:MvxBind="ItemsSource MenuItems; ItemClick SelectMenuItemCommand"
local:MvxItemTemplate="#layout/item_menu"
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#111" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
