A Full-Screen Navigation Drawer in an Android app is a side menu that covers the entire screen when opened, providing a seamless and immersive navigation experience. Unlike traditional drawers that occupy only a portion of the screen, a full-screen drawer ensures that the user’s focus remains on the navigation options.


Implementation Steps

To implement a full-screen navigation drawer, use DrawerLayout as the parent container and include NavigationView inside it with match_parent width and height.




  <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="-64dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="-64dp"
        android:id="@+id/navview"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header"
        app:menu="@menu/sidenav_menu"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView>


A Full-Screen Navigation Drawer enhances usability and provides a distraction-free interface. By properly implementing NavigationView and DrawerLayout, developers can create a polished, user-friendly navigation system for their Android apps.
