Experimenting with the new support library for a future app update, I was able to convert a basic button layout to a more user-friendly navigation drawer. It will be a nice change as this app was created nearly three years ago and targeting older Android versions. The conversion from activities to fragments was also surprisingly easily. Converting the old button-based main layout to Lollipop's new Material design CardView allowed preservation of the old, more traditional navigation in conjunction with the new nav drawer. Would've liked more customization and will look into that, but suspect that it is intentionally this way to maintain the uniformity of Material design.
* Edit - Seems to be fixed now with version 24 update. Still awaiting the fix for the odd bug with PagerTabStrip's titles not showing on first load until after swiping in version 23. Apparently, reverting back to the previous version may fix the issue, but seems a little troublesome to do so. Comments are closed.
