How do I use just one drawerlayout with all views?

[Deemar]

I have an applications that's running just fine but I've duplicated the drawerlayout on every view page and also had to set all the click events and listeners in all the associated activities for each view so all the buttons work. This is a nightmare when adding new views because I have to set it all up again on those pages as well.

My application already uses fragments in other areas but I'm only half familiar with them so far and I can't figure out how to apply fragments to the drawerlayout. I haven't been able to find any examples of this in practice, does anyone know how to have just one drawer for all views?

Here is one of the views in which I duplicated it already:

Can you give us a snapshot on the phone?

Sorry for the late reply, I'm actually working to fix this now. On the first screen I can click the drawer menu items and go to other pages. On the next activity I create the drawer layout again and don't explicitly set the touch listener again so when I choose an item on this screen, nothing happens. Do I need to create the drawer and attach listeners in every activity?
