Disable The Swipe Gesture That Opens The Navigation Drawer in Android

disable the swipe gesture that opens the navigation drawer in android

You should use:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

It worked for me, the swipe to open the drawer was disabled.

If it still won't work, check out the answer provided here.

Disable swipe for open drawer but NOT for closing

I found a workaround to achieve what I want:

Initialy I set the drawerMode to CLOSED. After opening it e.g. via a button, I UNLOCK the drawer to enable the gesture for closing again. After the drawer has been closed the Lock for opening will be reactivated. For this I'm using the Interface of the ActionBarDrawerToggle

    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            getActivity(),                    /* host Activity */
            mDrawerLayout,                    /* DrawerLayout object */
            R.string.navigation_drawer_open,  /* "open drawer" description for accessibility */
            R.string.navigation_drawer_close  /* "close drawer" description for accessibility */
    )
    {
        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView)
        {
            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
            mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
        }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView)
        {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);           
        }
    };

I tried to overide the drawerlayout or parts of it, but it would be a hell of work to get what I want.

I hope this solution is helpfull to others.

Disable swipe gesture (navigation drawer) from specific fragment

I use this code & it works for me.

public void closeDrag()
    {
        try 
        {
            mDragger = drawerLayout.getClass().getDeclaredField("mLeftDragger");
        }
        catch (NoSuchFieldException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        mDragger.setAccessible(true);

        try 
        {
            draggerObj = (ViewDragHelper) mDragger.get(drawerLayout);
        }
        catch (IllegalArgumentException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (IllegalAccessException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        try 
        {
            mEdgeSize = draggerObj.getClass().getDeclaredField("mEdgeSize");
        } 
        catch (NoSuchFieldException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        mEdgeSize.setAccessible(true);

        try 
        {
            edge = mEdgeSize.getInt(draggerObj);
        } 
        catch (IllegalArgumentException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (IllegalAccessException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        try 
        {
            mEdgeSize.setInt(draggerObj, edge * 0);
        }
        catch (IllegalArgumentException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (IllegalAccessException e) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Note: it will allow to open/close drawer from Actionbar button but will disable finger swipe.

Disable swipe gesture from opening the navigation drawer using react-navigation

You can use the drawerLockMode in the screen navigation options using the option locked-open

locked-open: the drawer will stay opened and not respond to gestures. The drawer may still be opened and closed programmatically

Other options can be viewed here

static navigationOptions = {
     drawerLockMode: 'locked-open',
}

Navigation drawer - disable swipe

You can use

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

to lock your DrawerLayout so it won't be able to open with gestures. And unlock it with:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);

Here you can find more info about DrawerLayout: Android API - DrawerLayout

Disable gesture listener on DrawerLayout

This worked for me:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

You can expand the drawer by tapping the Home button, and can use right-to-left swipe gesture to dismiss it. However, left-to-right swipe is no longer triggered.
