Currently, I have the following legacy holo app.

enter image description here

In navigation drawer, please note that on the right NEW icon. When user clicks on the icon, they can either add new Watchlist, or new Portfolio.

So far, I would say the usability is pretty good. At least, I never receive support request, on how to add new Watchlist, or new Portfolio.

Recently, we are in the progress of migrating holo app to material app.

Here's my initial design.

Although I try to use

  1. Different fonts for label WATCHLIST and PORTFOLIO
  2. All CAP case.
  3. Add a + text.

I still doesn't feel the labels are clickable. At least, compared to previous holo design, new users are more difficult to figure out how to add new Watchlist & new Portfolio.

Any suggestion, how I can further improve the design?

p/s Please take note that, having colorful short line above the label, is idea originated from Google Now :)

    Thanks. Can you provide me a "role model" app? As, so far, most of the app I encounter, are having read-only item in navigation drawer. I don't see much good examples, of able to create new item via navigation drawer.
