<string name="custom_app_name">Write App Name</string>

    <!-- Navigation Menu Items -->
    <string name="more_apps">Visit More Apps</string>
    <string name="rate_this_app">Rate this Application</string>
    <string name="communication">Communication</string>
    <string name="share">Share</string>
    <string name="disclaimer">Disclaimer</string>
    <string name="privacy_policy">Privacy Policy</string>
    <string name="terms_conditions"><![CDATA[Terms & Conditions]]></string>
    <string name="categories_title">Categories Title</string>

    <!-- Drawer Layout Items -->
    <string name="drawer_open">Drawer Open</string>
    <string name="drawer_close">Drawer Close</string>

    <!-- Navigation Menu Links -->
    <string name="text_plain">text/plain</string>
    <string name="AppDescription"><b>आवास योजना की नई सूची 2022</b> : के तहत जो भी लिस्ट निकलता है उसका सभी विवरण यंहा तत्काल अपलोड कर दिया जाता है , <b>Download</b> करें इस Application को और अपने सुविधा अनुसार उपयोग करें ! </string>

2nd, We have to create a color code for the Android application.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <color name="purple_500">#024265</color>
    <color name="purple_700">#024265</color>
    <color name="teal_200">#FDDBE9</color>
    <color name="teal_700">#FDDBE9</color>
    <color name="black">#FF000000</color>
    <color name="white">#FFFFFFFF</color>
    <color name="green">#019E07</color>

                app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/constraintLayout" />

            <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"

        </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

    </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigationMenu"

        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        app:menu="@menu/navigation_menu" />

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

6th(A), we have to create a custom navigation drawer(navigation_menu) menu in menu folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <group android:checkableBehavior="single">

        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_more_apps"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_nav_menu_more_apps"
            android:title="@string/more_apps" />

        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_rate_this_app"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_nav_menu_star_half"
            android:title="@string/rate_this_app" />

    </group>
    <item android:title="@string/communication">
        <menu>
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_share"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_nav_share"
                android:title="@string/share" />
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_disclaimer"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_nav_menu_info"
                android:title="@string/disclaimer" />
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_privacy_policy"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_nav_menu_security"
                android:title="@string/privacy_policy" />
            <item
                android:id="@+id/nav_terms_conditions"
                android:icon="@drawable/ic_nav_menu_privacy_tip"
                android:title="@string/terms_conditions" />
        </menu>
    </item>

</menu>

6th(B), we have to create a custom actionbar toolbar(first_action_bar) menu in menu folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/youtube"
        android:icon="@drawable/video_logo"
        android:title="@string/youtube"
        app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

</menu>

7th, We have to do all the above XML layout code and now we have to create a JAVA code for the backend working system given below:

  • Create some variable codes.
  • Create a ToolBar.
  • Create a Drawer Layout.
  • Create a Navigation Drawer Menu.
  • Create an Options Menu.
  • Create an Option Items Selected Menu.
  • Create User Menu Selector.

7th(A): Create some Variable Codes.

ActionBarDrawerToggle actionBarDrawerToggle;
    private DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
    View view;

7th(B): Create a ToolBar.

Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolBar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        Objects.requireNonNull(getSupportActionBar()).setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

7th(C): Create a Drawer Layout.

drawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawerLayout);
        actionBarDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(MainActivity.this, drawerLayout, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
        drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(actionBarDrawerToggle);
        actionBarDrawerToggle.syncState();

7th(D): Create a Navigation Drawer Menu.

NavigationView navigationView = findViewById(R.id.navigationMenu);
        view = navigationView.inflateHeaderView(R.layout.nav_header);
        navigationView.setItemIconTintList(null);

        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(item -> {
            UserMenuSelector(item);
            return false;
        });

7th(E): Create an Options Menu.

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.first_action_bar, menu);
        return true;
    }

7th(F): Create an Options Items Selected Menu.

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.youtube) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.youtube.com/@click2code"));
            startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        }
        if (actionBarDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

7th(G): Create User Menu Selector.

    private void UserMenuSelector(MenuItem item) {
        int itemId = item.getItemId();
        if (itemId == R.id.nav_more_apps) {
            try {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(getString(R.string.DeveloperApp)));
                startActivity(intent);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(getString(R.string.developerApps)));
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        } else if (itemId == R.id.nav_rate_this_app) {
            try {
                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                        Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + getPackageName())));

            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                        Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + getPackageName())));
            }
        } else if (itemId == R.id.nav_share) {
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            myIntent.setType("text/plain");
            String shareBody = "Multi WebView App में जो लिस्ट और detail जारी हुआ है उसका सभी विवरण इस App में दिया हुआ है। \n" + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codeapp.webviewapp&hl=en";
            String shareSub = "Your Subject Here";
            myIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, shareSub);
            myIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(myIntent, "Share using"));
        } else if (itemId == R.id.nav_disclaimer) {
            Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
            dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_disclaimer);
            Objects.requireNonNull(dialog.getWindow()).setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
            dialog.show();
        } else if (itemId == R.id.nav_privacy_policy) {
            Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(getString(R.string.privacy_policy_link)));
            startActivity(browserIntent);
        } else if (itemId == R.id.nav_terms_conditions) {
            Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(getString(R.string.terms_condition_link)));
            startActivity(browserIntent);
        }

        drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    }
