Basics
drawerToggle
is typically placed on the main application view. Together with navigationBar
and drawerLayout
they create a common pattern for navigating the application.
In the default application template, drawerToggle
is located in the upper left corner of the navigation bar.

It allows users to access main menu from anywhere in the application or collapse it to provide more space for the current view.
