create navigation drawer

[Brianzhengca]

is it possible to make a mobile app navigation drawer like this one using toga? This will be much easier for my users to navigate through my app and looks much neater

It's not currently possible - firstly because the Android backend is a bit broken, but secondly because our widget library is a bit sparse at the moment.

However, adding a widget like this is on our roadmap. It's a common design pattern for mobile apps, and we will want to find a common way to represent the pattern.

At least in my mind, this is a slightly different feature request. There's obviously some overlap (because the UX element appears in the titlebar), but a "NavigationController" to me is more about the "pushing a stack of views" for drilling into deep content. The "side drawer" is more of a top-level mechanism for system commands - more of an analog of the menu bar on a desktop app.
