Drawerlayout Not Functioning And Blocks Not Related Widgets

I havd an Activity which has a TextView and i wanted to add a navigation drawer to that Activity. So I changed my XML and implemented DrawerLayout. After implementing the DrawerLay

Solution 1:

DrawerLayout determines which Views to use as a drawers by their layout_gravity attribute. Simply add this attribute to your TextView with the appropriate value. For example:

<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<TextView
    android:layout_width="220dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="left|start"
    android:text="Try me! NOW"
/>
