A few questions about the toolbar...

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

I have a few questions regarding the toolbar (which acts as an actionbar) :

1. How would you add the cool animations of the "up" button when being clicked?
2. How would you make the navigation drawer to avoid being on top of the action bar ?
3. How would you put it in PreferenceActivity (for pre-API11 versions), if you can't extend from PreferenceActivity (as you must extend from ActionBarActivity) ?
   You can't even use PreferenceFragment, as it's from API 11 and above... ?

Please help.

About #2, that was actually quite easy. I just changed the layout file of "activity_home.xml" to this:

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <include
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            layout="@layout/toolbar" />

        <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
            android:id="@+id/drawer"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            tools:context=".HomeActivity" >

            <GridView
                android:id="@+id/gridView"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:clipToPadding="false"
                android:columnWidth="@dimen/item_width"
                android:horizontalSpacing="4dp"
                android:numColumns="auto_fit"
                android:padding="4dp"
                android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
                android:verticalSpacing="4dp" />

            <ListView
                android:layout_width="260dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="start"
                android:background="@color/windowBackgroundColor" />
        </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

How would you add the cool animations of the "up" button when being clicked?

You can achieve it using the new ActionBarDrawerToggle (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/app/ActionBarDrawerToggle.html)

How would you put it in PreferenceActivity (for pre-API11 versions)

I don't know of a way for previous versions. Maybe look for a supported PreferenceFragment out there.

About the "up" animations, correct.
about the PreferecenActivity, I've made a library if you wish:
