title: Is there a proper way to use the Appcompat "NavigationView" as permanent (see Material Design guidelines)
body: <p>By reading the Material Design guidelines about the Navigation Drawer (Drawerlayout + NavigationView) I see there is a recommandation to set it always opened on desktop. That's what I would like to achieve on tablets.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Permanent navigation drawers are always visible and pinned to the left
    edge, at the same elevation as the content or background. They cannot
    be closed.</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>But it seems that the widget offered in support library is not easy to manipulate and achieve such an effect.</p>
  
  <p>Did I missed something, or is there an easy way to let it opened on tablets/desktop/TV?</p>
  
  <p>My current phone layout:</p>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:orientation="vertical"&gt;
      &lt;android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
          android:id="@+id/my_awesome_toolbar"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:background="@color/primarycolor"
          android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
          app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" /&gt;
  
      &lt;FrameLayout
          android:id="@+id/content_frame"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent" /&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  
  
  &lt;!-- The navigation drawer   style="@style/NavDrawer"
  
                   android:background="@android:color/white"--&gt;
  &lt;android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
      android:id="@+id/navigation"
      app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:layout_gravity="start"
      app:menu="@menu/nav" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
