I'm trying to migrate my android app to compose and I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make a drawer that opens with an AppBar button. I tried to set it through drawerContent in a scaffold, but that seems to use a dragging gesture instead of a button in the AppBar

this is how it looks in my android app, tapping the hamburger icon opens the drawer

nevermind, I added "hamburger" to my search and I found this that ended up working for me https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63738585/add-drawer-toggle-button-in-jetpack-compose

In the Scaffold you can disable the drawer gesture and only open it with an a button or some action

I just tried that with drawerGesturesEnabled = false, but now I can't close the drawer by tapping off the drawer. Is it possible to disable dragging the drawer open without disabling closing it with a tap?

[Tomislav Mladenov]

Yes you can intercept a tap, click, touch any gesture and simply send some callback, flow or event to the composable. There you can control the state if the drawer

[Jayden King]

oh, apparently you can do it just by setting it as drawerGesturesEnabled = scaffoldState.drawerState.isOpen
