  1. POHow to get icons in my Android image drawer?
    text
    copied!<p>I just created a drawer in my Android app, and now I want to include icons next to each menu item. For this I created a list_item_drawer.xml file, which looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/text_drawer_menu_item" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="23dp" android:text="Menu item" /&gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/image_drawermenu_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/placeholder"/&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>I then call this file in my MainActivity like so:</p> <pre><code>final String[] menuEntries = {"Overview","New Payment"}; final String[] fragments = { "com.mycompany.fragment.OverviewFragment", "com.mycompany.fragment.DetailsFragment", }; private ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggle; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.drawer_root); ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt; adapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this, R.layout.list_item_drawer, R.id.text_drawer_menu_item, menuEntries); etc.. </code></pre> <p>The weird thing is, that even though each menu item now has the height of that placeholder image file, I do not see the image file displayed. So my first question: <strong>how do I get the image file to display?</strong></p> <p>But even if that image file is displayed, I wonder (question two), <strong>how do I set a unique icon for each menu item?</strong></p> <p>All tips are welcome!</p>
