It is useful, yes. But with an old style and it is very long to customize.
This library is thinked for change your way of thinking about navigation drawer.
####1. The drawer activity When I watch my olds project and see about the navigation drawer activity, I see a lot of codes for doing something that should be simple for the user. If I need to add a list element, I should change something like 20 lines of codes in different parts of my code.
This is crap.
The codes for the item should be all in the same place, and if I need to change something, I don't want to have lines and lines of code for confusing me.
The solution: An initialization method, where I can easily call some methods for adding drawer items.

A section is a single item of the drawer, but it can have text notifications, icons, and different types of target. All In material design style.
In your initialization method, you can easy creating the sections that you needs, then you will add it to the drawer. stop. Need to move the first section to the last? Simply move the add call after the current last method. Done.

Following material design guidelines, this library allows you to create the same thing... in short.
In your initialization method, you can create accounts and add it to the drawer, like sections.
