<p>As part of the <a href="http://www.google.com/design/spec-wear">Material Design</a>
 for Android Wear, Wear 2.0 adds interactive navigation and action drawers. 
 The navigation drawer appears at the top of the screen and lets users jump to 
 different views within
the app, similar to the navigation drawer on a phone. The action drawer appears
at the bottom of the screen and provides context-specific actions for the user,
similar to the action bar on a phone. These drawers are accessible when the user
swipes from the top or bottom of the screen, and they peek when users scroll in
the opposite direction. </p>

<p>This lesson describes how to implement action and navigation drawers in your
app using the {@code WearableDrawerLayout} APIs.
</p>

<h2 id="create a drawer">Create a Drawer Layout</h2>
To add an action or a navigation drawer, declare your user interface with a
<code>WearableDrawerLayout</code> object as the root view of your layout.  Inside
 the <code>WearableDrawerLayout</code>, add one view that contains the main content
  for the screen (your primary layout when the drawer is hidden) and additional
  child views that contain the contents of the drawer.</h2>
<p>For example, the following layout uses a <code>WearableDrawerLayout</code> with
 three child views: a <code>FrameLayout</code> to contain the main content, a
 navigation drawer, and an action drawer.</p>

<pre>
&lt;android.support.wearable.view.drawer.WearableDrawerLayout
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:deviceIds="wear">

    &lt;FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/content_frame"/>

    &lt;android.support.wearable.view.drawer.WearableNavigationDrawer
        android:id="@+id/top_navigation_drawer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    &lt;android.support.wearable.view.drawer.WearableActionDrawer
        android:id="@+id/bottom_action_drawer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

&lt;/android.support.wearable.view.drawer.WearableDrawerLayout>

</pre>
<h2 id="initialize">Initialize the Drawer List</h2>
<p>One of the first things you need to do in your activity is to initialize the
drawers list of items. You should implement {@code WearableNavigationDrawerAdapter}
to populate the navigation drawer contents. To populate the action drawer with
a list of actions, inflate an XML file into the Menu (via MenuInflater).</p>

<p>The following code snippet shows how to initialize the contents of your drawers:
</p>
<pre>
public class MainActivity extends  WearableActivity implements
WearableActionDrawer.OnMenuItemClickListener{
    private WearableDrawerLayout mwearableDrawerLayout;
    private WearableNavigationDrawer mWearableNavigationDrawer;
    private WearableActionDrawer mWearableActionDrawer;
    
    ...
    
    &#64;Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        ......
        
        
        // Main Wearable Drawer Layout that wraps all content
        mWearableDrawerLayout = (WearableDrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        
        // Top Navigation Drawer
        mWearableNavigationDrawer = (WearableNavigationDrawer) findViewById(R.id.top_navigation_drawer);
        mWearableNavigationDrawer.setAdapter(new YourImplementationNavigationAdapter(this));

        // Peeks Navigation drawer on the top.
        mWearableDrawerLayout.peekDrawer(Gravity.TOP);
        
        // Bottom Action Drawer
        mWearableActionDrawer = (WearableActionDrawer) findViewById(R.id.bottom_action_drawer);

        // Populate Action Drawer Menu
        Menu menu = mWearableActionDrawer.getMenu();
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.action_drawer_menu, menu);
        mWearableActionDrawer.setOnMenuItemClickListener(this);

        // Peeks action drawer on the bottom.
        mWearableDrawerLayout.peekDrawer(Gravity.BOTTOM);
    }
}

</pre>
<h2 id="creating">Create a Custom View Drawer</h2>

<p>To use custom views in drawers,  add  <code>WearableDrawerView</code> to  the
<code>WearableDrawerLayout</code>. To set the contents of the drawer, call <code>
<a href="https://x20web.corp.google.com/~psoulos/docs/reference/android/support/wearable/view/drawer/WearableDrawerView.html#setDrawerContent(android.view.View)">setDrawerContent(View)</a></code>
 instead of manually adding the view to the hierarchy. You must also specify the
  drawer position with the <code>android:layout_gravity</code> attribute. </p>
<p> The following example specifies a top drawer:</p>
<pre>
&lt;android.support.wearable.view.drawer.WearableDrawerLayout&gt;
    &lt;FrameLayout 
    android:id=”@+id/content” /&gt;

    &lt;WearableDrawerView
        android:layout_width=”match_parent”
        andndroid:layout_height=”match_parent”
        android:layout_gravity=”top”&gt;
        &lt;FrameLayout 
            android:id=”@+id/top_drawer_content” /&gt;
    &lt;/WearableDrawerView&gt;
&lt;/android.support.wearable.view.drawer.WearableDrawerView&gt;

</pre>

<h2 id="listen to events">Listen for Drawer Events</h2>
<p>To listen for drawer events, call {@code setDrawerStateCallback()}on your
{@code WearableDrawerLayout} and pass it an implementation of
{@code WearableDrawerLayout.DrawerStateCallback}. This interface provides callbacks
 for drawer events such as <code>onDrawerOpened()</code>,
 <code>onDrawerClosed(),</code> and <code>onDrawerStatechanged()</code>.</p>

<h2 id="peeking">Peeking Drawers</h2>
<p>To  set the drawers to temporarily appear, call  <code>peekDrawer()</code> on
your {@code WearableDrawerLayout} and pass it the {@code Gravity} of the drawer.
 This feature is especially useful because it allows immediate access to the
 alternate drawer views or actions associated with it. </p>

<pre>{@code mWearableDrawerLayout.peekDrawer</code>(<code>Gravity.BOTTOM);}</pre>

<p>You can also call {@code setPeekContent()} on your drawer to display a custom
 view when the drawer is peeking.</p>
