I have my NavigationDrawer working on MainActivity. However when I switch Activites it dissapears

Question

Below is the code which I have for my NavigationDrawer. I think it is something to do with parts of my code being public/private or protected. However I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
            implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
            setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

            FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
            fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                            .setAction("Action", null).show();
                }
            });

            DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
            ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
                    this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
            drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
            toggle.syncState();

            NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
            navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBackPressed() {
            DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
            if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
                drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
            } else {
                super.onBackPressed();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
            getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
            // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
            // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
            // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
            int id = item.getItemId();

            //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
            if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
                return true;
            }

            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }

        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
            // Handle navigation view item clicks here.
            switch(item.getItemId()){
                case R.id.my_account:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_news:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_live:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_media:
                    Intent intent=new Intent(MainActivity.this,activity_main_media.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_calendar:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_results:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_about:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_shop:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_social_media:
                    //Do code here
                    break;
                case R.id.nav_fanzone:
                    //Do code here
                    break;

            }

            DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
            drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
            return true;
        }


    }

Your drawer is only in mainactivity, if you want it in activity_main_media you need to add it to the layout there — MidasLefko, Jul 24 '17 at 21:44

Navigation Drawer is belong to an actvitiy. When you switch activitys its normal to lose navbar.You need to use fragment instead of activity. Here is documentation.

However if you still want to use activity for each item on navigation bar you better take a look here
