mikepenz/MaterialDrawer

MaterialDrawer is an Android library that provides a customizable navigation drawer component with support for Material 3 theming. It offers a modular architecture for creating various drawer items, including integration with Iconics for vector icons and Jetpack Navigation for seamless screen transitions. The system is designed to be extensible, allowing developers to define custom styles and behaviors through a modern Kotlin API.

This entry marks the initial commit for the MaterialDrawer library, introducing version 10.0.0-b01 which adds support for Material 3 (M3) theming and requires Android API Level 16 or higher. The release includes the core library code, a sample application, and comprehensive documentation including a README, migration guide, and FAQ. The library is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and utilizes the Gradle Wrapper for builds.

The materialdrawer-iconics module now provides Kotlin extension properties and a dedicated ImageHolder class to seamlessly integrate Iconics vector icons into Material Drawer list items. This change allows developers to assign Iconics icons to drawer entries with automatic handling of icon tinting and selection states, ensuring consistent visual appearance across different Android API levels.

The HoloKitKatDrawer sample application has been completely removed from the codebase. This deletion eliminates the demo implementation of a navigation drawer with custom Holo styling, including the main activity, drawer list adapter, system UI hiding utilities, and all associated layout, drawable, and style resources.

The MaterialDrawer library has been refactored to introduce a new architecture for styling and content. New holder classes (BadgeStyle, ColorHolder, DimenHolder, ImageHolder, StringHolder) now manage visual properties and content resolution, allowing for more flexible theming and easier adjustment of attributes like elevation and padding. The drawer item model layer has been reorganized with new abstract base classes (AbstractDrawerItem, BaseDrawerItem, BaseDescribeableDrawerItem) and specific implementations (AbstractBadgeableDrawerItem, AbstractSwitchableDrawerItem, AbstractToggleableDrawerItem, ContainerDrawerItem, DividerDrawerItem) that leverage these holders. This change improves the maintainability and extensibility of the drawer items, particularly for Material 3 theming, by centralizing style and content logic.

The app module now includes a proguard-rules.pro file containing default comments and optional rules for WebView JavaScript interfaces, allowing for code shrinking and obfuscation configuration. Additionally, the project's root directory has been renamed from HoloKitKatDrawer to app, with the .gitignore file moved accordingly to reflect this structural change.

The Material Drawer navigation integration now supports a new \successListener\ callback in \setupWithNavController\, allowing developers to receive notifications when a drawer item successfully triggers navigation. The previous two-argument overload of \setupWithNavController\ is deprecated in favor of the new three-argument version that includes this listener, ensuring backward compatibility while encouraging adoption of the enhanced API.

The sample application activities (such as DrawerActivity, AdvancedActivity, and CollapsingToolbarActivity) have been rewritten in Kotlin and migrated to the Material Drawer v8 architecture. This update introduces ViewBinding for layout inflation, replaces the legacy Glide image loader with Coil, and adopts the new v8 drawer item models and AccountHeader integration patterns. Users exploring the sample code will now see idiomatic Kotlin usage and the modern API surface for configuring drawer items, headers, and navigation.

The sample application's drawer item implementations (such as AccountDivider, CustomPrimary, Gmail, Icon, and OverflowMenu items) have been rewritten in Kotlin. This update introduces a Gmail-style drawer item with custom rounded corners, replaces legacy color handling with ColorStateList and theme-aware styling, and adopts MaterialShapeDrawable for backgrounds. It also deprecates the old 'with\*' builder methods in favor of direct property setters and extension properties, simplifying the API for users creating custom drawer items.

The sample application fragments (DemoFragment, DemoMessageFragment, DrawerFragment, SecondDrawerFragment) have been rewritten in Kotlin to use ViewBinding instead of synthetic view accessors, and DemoMessageFragment now utilizes Jetpack Navigation for fragment transitions. This improves type safety and aligns the demo code with modern Android development practices.

The project now includes a Gradle wrapper configuration file that pins the build tool to version 8.12. This ensures that all developers and CI environments use the same specific Gradle distribution, improving build consistency and reproducibility across the team.

The project has been restructured to use Gradle Version Catalogs (defined in \gradle/libs.versions.toml\) for centralized dependency management, replacing the previous ad-hoc dependency declarations. This update upgrades key libraries to their latest stable versions, including AndroidX AppCompat (1.7.0), Material Components (1.12.0), Navigation (2.8.6), and FastAdapter (5.7.0). The build system now utilizes convention plugins for shared configuration across the \app\, \materialdrawer\, \materialdrawer-iconics\, and \materialdrawer-nav\ modules. Additionally, the legacy \HoloKitKatDrawer\ sample module has been removed, and the project version has been bumped to 10.0.0-b01.
