feat: Access Native Ui & webview UI both at same time

[phoenix503]

Feature Request

Description

I want to add Side Navigation Drawer to my App as an Native UI not with the HTML code.
Please tell the possible ways to do that.

Platform(s)

I have tried the same thing in Android , but unable to change the UI

Preferred Solution

Their is a method name called load()

private void load() {
       getApplication().setTheme(getResources().getIdentifier("AppTheme_NoActionBar", "style", getPackageName()));
       setTheme(getResources().getIdentifier("AppTheme_NoActionBar", "style", getPackageName()));
       setTheme(R.style.AppTheme_NoActionBar);
       setContentView(R.layout.bridge_layout_main);

       Logger.debug("Starting BridgeActivity");

       bridge = bridgeBuilder.addPlugins(initialPlugins).setConfig(config).create();

       this.keepRunning = bridge.shouldKeepRunning();
       this.onNewIntent(getIntent());

   }

It is a private method, if somehow i can change the setContentView in this code i can able to add custom UI to Android App

Alternatives

If not possible, please suggest me other Alternatives to use Native UI for Side Navigation Drawer & HTML code both at same time

Additional Context

I am trying all these in Plain Capacitor App

While I initially also tried the solution to override load or onCreate , because it is intuitively how it supposed to work. However, this became very hacky. I ended up with a far more easier solution: override setContentView.

    public void setContentView(@LayoutRes int layoutResID) {
        if (layoutResID == com.getcapacitor.android.R.layout.bridge_layout_main) {
            super.setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        } else {
            super.setContentView(layoutResID);
        }
    }
