ok so I've got something weird going on and IDK how to fix it,

I have an activity with a recyclerview and a navigation drawer, but when the drawer is first in the XML the recyclerview stays on top, and when the recyclerview is first in XML the you can't interact with it and the drawer works perfectly

It has to do with the order your views are being drawn in. The stuff at the top of your file is drawn first (on the bottom) and the stuff at the bottom is drawn last (on the top). As to why the `RecyclerView` isn’t working. I can’t be sure since I can’t see your code. As other people indicated, StackOverflow would be a better place to ask a question like this.
