# Adding Items To Navigation Drawer

To add items to navigation drawer, you need to edit two files. **MainActivity.java** and **activity\_main\_drawer.xml**

## Adding Category to menu

Go to **activity\_main\_drawer.xml** and find the code mentioned below

{% code title="activity\_main\_drawer.xml" %}

```markup
    <group>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_home"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_home"
            android:title="Home" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_categories"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_categories"
            android:title="Categories" />
        <item
            android:id="@+id/nav_offline"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_file_download"
            android:title="Saved Posts"/>
    </group>
```

{% endcode %}

and paste the below code inside the **\<group>** ... **\</group>**

{% code title="activity\_main\_drawer.xml" %}

```markup
<item
            android:id="@+id/nav_my_category_id"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_add"
            android:title="My Category Name"/>
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you replace the **nav\_my\_category\_id (**&#x77;e will use this late&#x72;**)** with a unique navigation id(No space in between the name) usually the category name will work. Also replace the **@drawable/ic\_add** with your icon and **My Category Name** with your category name.
{% endhint %}

Now the first part is completed. Lets proceed to the second step.

Go to **MainActivity.java** file and find the code mentioned below

{% code title="MainActivity.java" %}

```java
@Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.nav_home){
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(0,true);
            bottomNavigation.setCurrentItem(0);
        }else if (id == R.id.nav_categories){
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(1,true);
            bottomNavigation.setCurrentItem(1);
        }else if(id==R.id.nav_offline){
            startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),OfflinePosts.class));
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_fb){
            openFbUrl("Google");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_insta){
            openInstagram("Google");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_tw){
            openTwitterUrl("Google");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_yt){
            openYoutubeUrl("https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNhT2txZHDfeIS0g7ZK7uRg");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_web_url){
            openWebView("https://codecanyon.net/item/wordroid-full-wordpress-blog-app/19753667");
        }if (id == R.id.nav_about){
            openWebView("http://dev.itsanubhav.com/about-us/");
        }else if(id == R.id.nav_privacy){
            openWebView("http://dev.itsanubhav.com/privacy-policy/");
        }
        editor.apply();

        DrawerLayout drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        return true;
    }
```

{% endcode %}

You need to add following file to the **onNavigationItemSelected** just before the **editor.apply();**

{% code title="MainActivity.java" %}

```java
else if (id == R.id.nav_my_category_id){
     openCategory("Category Name",121);
}
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you change the **nav\_my\_category\_id** to the id you added in the **activity\_main\_drawer.xml.** Change the **Category Name** with your category name and **121** with your category id.
{% endhint %}

### Full Code Example

        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.nav_home){

            bottomNavigation.setCurrentItem(0);
        }else if (id == R.id.nav_categories){
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(1,true);
            bottomNavigation.setCurrentItem(1);
        }else if(id==R.id.nav_offline){
            startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),OfflinePosts.class));
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_fb){
            openFbUrl("Google");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_insta){
            openInstagram("Google");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_tw){
            openTwitterUrl("Google");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_yt){
            openYoutubeUrl("https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNhT2txZHDfeIS0g7ZK7uRg");
        }else if (id==R.id.nav_web_url){
            openWebView("https://codecanyon.net/item/wordroid-full-wordpress-blog-app/19753667");
        }if (id == R.id.nav_about){
            openWebView("http://dev.itsanubhav.com/about-us/");
        }else if(id == R.id.nav_privacy){
            openWebView("http://dev.itsanubhav.com/privacy-policy/");
        }else if (id == R.id.nav_my_category_id){
            openCategory("Category Name",121);
