Materialdrawer: Drawer with a drawable Background

[jehad-suliman]

Thank you for this awesome Library
i only want to change the background of the Drawer and keep every thing else as it is.

i suggest
drawer.getDrawerLayout().getBackground().setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.dinner);

Or you just use the method on the DrawerBuilder

Lolipop 5.0 this way is making the drawer slow and the background disappear sometimes

OpenGLRenderer: Trying to scale down bitmap for texture
Allocation failed for scaled bitmap

the UI stops

the background size is 38.9 KB

@jehad-suliman you can use picasso or anything else to set the background for the DrawerLayout

You have the reference already via: drawer.getDrawerLayout()
