How to keep closed the Sliding Menu even when user slides to open it?

Question

In my application, I have some screens where I don't want the drawer menu to open when the user slides. How can I do that? The app uses only one activity and the rest are fragments.

How to keep closed the Sliding Menu even when user slides to open it?

Use below method in your Activity and call it as your need.

 public void enableViews(boolean enable) {
       if (enable) {
            //You may not want to open the drawer on swipe from the left in this case
            drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
            // Remove hamburger
            toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
            // Show back button
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
            // when DrawerToggle is disabled i.e. setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false), navigation icon
            // clicks are disabled i.e. the UP button will not work.
            // We need to add a listener, as in below, so DrawerToggle will forward
            // click events to this listener.
            toggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // Doesn't have to be onBackPressed
                    onBackPressed();
                }
            });
        } else {
            //You must regain the power of swipe for the drawer.
            drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
            // Remove back button
            getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

            // Show hamburger
            toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
            // Remove the/any drawer toggle listener
            toggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(null);
        }
    }

Note:- Call enableViews(true) for locking and enableViews(false) for unlocking

Try this:

mDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
