Android: How to disable the ActionBar button that opens navigation drawer

Question

How to disable the ActionBar button that opens navigation drawer?

I use the code below to disable opening the navigation drawer using swipe, but its action bar button (at Top/Left) still active and can be used to open the navigation drawer.

 DrawerLayout navigationDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
 navigationDrawerLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

try returning false in `onOptionsItemSelected` for `android.R.id.home` button. — Spring Breaker, Apr 03 '15 at 04:43

Thank you, that worked well, it hides the button in the action bar, but what if I want to override this button rather than hiding it, I mean, to change its icon (To be as back button) and rather than opening the drawer I use it to be as back button, is it possible? – Ashraf Alshahawy Apr 03 '15 at 11:44

You should use setNavigationOnClickListener() on toolbar to avoid Nav Drawer from opening.

toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
     @Override
         public void onClick(View view) {
         // your code.
     }
});

Nav drawer will open just by swiping, and not by clicking on the menu item button.
