Materialdrawer: Badge on hamburger menu icon

[bhartsock]

Hello,

I am implementing this Nav Drawer in my app and I have badges working great. My only question is how do I get the badge to appear on the hambuger menu icon when the Nav Drawer is collapsed? When an event happens in my app, I would like to update not only the DrawerItem with a badge count but also the hamburger menu icon if it happens to be collapsed. I would like similar functions like the Ebay app.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

@bhartsock that is independent of the MaterialDrawer the ActionBarDrawerToggle which can be managed by the Drawer doesn't allow you to do this. This will require a custom image for the toolbar, and then you will have to manually handle the open / close of the drawer.

@bhartsock great :). It would be great if you could add your solution here so others can find it.

To all those who are interested, this is what I did.

Make sure that you remove the .withToolbar() when creating the DrawerBuilder. This will have to be managed manually.

In your toolbar layout, add the following:

Create this drawable to use as the background:

You will have to hook up a click listener to the nav_drawer_menu to open the drawer. I put this code within my ToolbarFragment class:

As for the badge count, whenever you want to increment it I call this helper:
