The easiest way to experiment with new layouts is to first check the IDE to see if it has that option to automatically generate the code for it. The latest Android Studio allows you to do this from File->New->Activity->"Navigation Drawer Activity". I'd recommend first doing this in a new project so that you can closely all the new code that the IDE will automatically generate.

Another great option is developer.android.com for more of a walkthrough with more details.

And, a great refresher on how the pattern works can be found at: https://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation-drawer.html
