Materialdrawer: How to add logo above user profile - Question

[cristian1703]

So I have followed your tutorial and I came up with this code:

//initialize and create the image loader logic
        DrawerImageLoader.init(new AbstractDrawerImageLoader() {
            @Override
            public void set(ImageView imageView, Uri uri, Drawable placeholder) {
                Picasso.with(imageView.getContext()).load(uri).placeholder(placeholder).into(imageView);
            }

            @Override
            public void cancel(ImageView imageView) {
                Picasso.with(imageView.getContext()).cancelRequest(imageView);
            }
        });
        // Create the AccountHeader
        AccountHeader headerResult = new AccountHeaderBuilder()
                .withActivity(this)
                .withSelectionListEnabledForSingleProfile(false)
                .withHeaderBackground(R.drawable.side_nav_bar)
                .addProfiles(
                        new ProfileDrawerItem().withName(u.getUsername()).withEmail(u.getEmail()).withIcon(Uri.parse(BuildConfig.BASE_API_URL + profilePictureUrl))
                )
                .withOnAccountHeaderListener(new AccountHeader.OnAccountHeaderListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onProfileChanged(View view, IProfile profile, boolean currentProfile) {
                        return false;
                    }
                })
                .build();
        Drawer result = new DrawerBuilder()
                .withActivity(this)
                .withAccountHeader(headerResult)
                .withToolbar(toolbar)
                .addDrawerItems(
                        new PrimaryDrawerItem().withIdentifier(0).withName(R.string.dashboard).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_tachometer)
                )
                .addStickyDrawerItems(new PrimaryDrawerItem().withIdentifier(11).withName(R.string.sign_out).withIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_lock))
                .withOnDrawerItemClickListener(new Drawer.OnDrawerItemClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onItemClick(View view, int position, IDrawerItem drawerItem) {
                        // do something with the clicked item :D
                        if (drawerItem != null) {
                            Intent intent = null;
                            if (drawerItem.getIdentifier() == 0){
                                intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DashboardActivity.class);
                            }
                            else if(drawerItem.getIdentifier() == 1){

                            }
                            else if(drawerItem.getIdentifier() == 11){
                                Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SplashScreenActivity.class);
                                MainProvider.sharedInstance().logOut(SidebarMenu.this);
                                Toast.makeText(SidebarMenu.this, "Logged Out", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                startActivity(i);
                            }
                            if(drawerItem.getIdentifier() != 11){
                                startActivity(intent);
                            }
                        }
                        return false;
                    }
                })
                .withSavedInstance(savedInstanceState)
                .build();

Now what I fail to do is add above the profile picture a header with the app's logo found in R.drawable.logo . I mention that I trying to do that without a custom header from ground zero...I really like the one generated by the library. Is there an option for adding a logo?

[mikepenz]

where and how do you want to add a logo? do you have a design how it should be like?

[cristian1703]

Yes I would like to add the logo above the user's profile picture. (I mention that I have disabled the option to have multiple accounts .... the sidebar is static from this point of view, having only one user at all times...so above its profile picture I want to display the apps logo...I thought I could find an option for that, like that withStickyFooter or something)

[mikepenz]

@dev2961io well there is the StickyHeader but as you disabled profiles anyways. Why don't you just provide a custom header? There is no need to use the AccountHeader for this then

Thank you for your suggestion @mikepenz. I have created a custom header and everything is fine now. But I have one more question: Can I use the fontawesome icons somewhere else in my app. For example I want to display the same icons I am using for the drawerItems in the activity toolbar. For example:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setIcon(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_tachometer);
But the setIcon does not recognize it as an icon. Any idea?

[mikepenz]

The font awesome icons are provided via: https://github.com/mikepenz/Android-Iconics
