If you use androidx.drawerlayout:drawerlayout:1.1.0-alpha02 or later, DrawerLayout supports (treats) Android 10's gesture navigation automatically.
When app is running on devices that use gesture navigation, drawers can open using a long press and swipe, and system gesture for Back using swipe can also be used too.

Simplest way to resolve this is to respect for Android's default behavior. Many of Android smartphone users are expecting system's default behavior, so it would be preferable to use above way, I think.

I agree with k3nsuk3's opinion.

While furusin's answer and Twitter-like behavior is good, the swipe action conflicts with tab switch action between days or favorite. It requires more consideration not to conflict, but I have no idea to do so.
