How to add title in Navigation drawer layout?

Question

[UPDATE]

I solve the problem by adding addHeaderView :

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();
    mPlanetTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);

    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    ViewGroup mTop = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.header_listview_menu, mDrawerList, false);
    mDrawerList.addHeaderView(mTop, null, false);

================================

My question is so simple !

I would like to how to add a title in a navigation drawer ?

I already created my navigation drawer with listview (icon+text) for each item.

Thanks a lot,

Solution 1

Put a TextView above a ListView, and wrap it inside a vertical LinearLayout . Give to your ListView android:layout_weight="1" and android:layout_height="0dip"

Solution 2

You would do that the same way as you would add headings in any other ListView, by teaching your ListAdapter to return heading rows as well as detail rows. At the low level, this involves overriding methods like getViewTypeCount() and getItemViewType() in your ListAdapter, plus having getView() know the difference between the row types. Or, use an existing high-level implementation like https://github.com/emilsjolander/StickyListHeaders or http://code.google.com/p/android-amazing-listview/ or any of the others found when searching for android listview headers.

That will work if the header is to be fixed at the top. The screenshot shows headers as part of the ListView itself (see "Title 2" row). Your solution may be what the OP is seeking, though.
