On Google IO 2017 this API was introduced, which is available from support library version 25.3.0. // Install drawer toggle drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close); // Disable animation drawerToggle.setDrawerSlideAnimationEnabled(false); This will make the drawer arrow not to be animated.
