Navigation Drawer in Android

The navigation drawer is commonly used as a "slide-in" navigation menu in Android applications. It slides in from the edge of the screen and displays a list of the application's main navigation options.

The drawer slides on top of the content instead of the content sliding away. With this, one can access any top level content from anywhere in the app and allows you to create a flatter navigation structure. It also has an action bar at the top. Lower versions also support it through support library.
