How to show FirstFragment visuals while using DrawerLayout?

I am coding on a DrawerLayout on activity_main.xml but my visuals are on fragment_first.xml. I currently am referencing that fragment somehow with this:
<fragment
android:id="#+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="#navigation/nav_graph"/>
but having finished my DrawerLayout, I cannot select my icons on the drawer without deleting the <fragment..../> code, which eliminates my background visuals.
Cannot click on icons:
Is there a way to keep both the visuals being referenced from fragment_first while enabling icon selection?
Here is my activity_main.xml:

How to put a spinner between a list view and a App Bar

I am currently working on an application to help manage bills. I have an activity that list the bills. I am trying to put a spinner between a list of bills and the title at the top. Is there a way to put the spinner so that it is at the top of the listView but below the app bar.?
This is what the app looks like:

DISMISS THIS
As suggested in the comments why not use a LinearLayout with vertical orientation and put the spinner as the first child with height wrap_content and then below it the listview with height 0dp and layout_weight set to 1
NEW PROPOSAL
Take a look a this layout. I already tried at a test app:

I have to comment the popup theme because I don't have it.
Also you need to use a theme with .NoActionBar because you're suppling the action bar and on the Activity containing this layout you need to call:
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
Was it what you're looking for?

android - collapsing toolbar and fragment layout not working together

In my app I have two fragments and a MainActivity. The activity_main.xml contains a collapsing toolbar which works perfectly for me when the fragments are empty. In my first fragment I fetch json data from a server and put it into a listview inside the fragment activity. The data is fetched and shown correctly, but the listview takes the whole screen and my collapsing toolbar seems to be a little buggy, like sometimes it pops up and disappears and my listview is not scrollable anymore. The two activities aren’t working together at all. Is there a way to make them work together?

You haven't mentioned where the fragments are attached - I assume within the NestedScrollView? If not, that's where they should go.
The problem is most likely the ListView within the fragment - unlike a RecyclerView, it does not implement NestedScrollingChild2 and ScrollingView, which are required for the collapsing toolbar functionality.
Replace the ListView with a RecyclerView and make sure the fragments are within the NestedScrollView that has app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" and it should work.

Use this code.
And also you need to change color of tollbar which swutching fragment.
toolbar.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), android.R.color.transparent));
mFragmentToSet = new HomeDashboardFragment();

Can you please tell me where to add the ViewPager and dotindicator(LinearLayout) inside the collapsible toolbar?

The container layout-RelativeLayout of the ViewPager and LinearLayout should be inside CollapsingToolbarLayout. And set the property like this to make it collapsible with scroll events.
app:layout_collapseMode="parallax"

ListView overlaps Application Bar - Android

my ListView go on the application bar at the edge of the page, i probably have problem in layout file.
(i've used the default android studio activity which contain navigation drawer, application bar,...)
I've used a frameLayout to use it as parent to sub-activity and show the navigation drawer in all sub-activity.

cinema_activity.xml (which is used in the sub-activity)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView

/>
</LinearLayout>
can somebody please help me?
Repeat:
The listView in the sub-activity go on the top of the application bar (i think it's called) but it's still clickable. I need to put it below the app bar.

Instead of using marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize", the right way is to add app:layout_behavior attribute to your FrameLayout. This attribute make your frame layout always positioned below toolbar.
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
And don't forget to add xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" tag to root of your layout.

Just modify
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
to
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
