[UI/UX] Follow correct conventions for the navigation drawer.

- The navigation drawer isn't being used for its intended purpose.
A navigation drawer is supposed to take you to different aspects of the applicaiton. Good example of this is google play music:
- Tabs should be used for category filtering if it exists, just like the google play market:
.
So we should use the navigation drawer to take you to these views:
- Deals Near Me
- My Businesses

reporter Also, profile should be on the navigation drawer, and you've probably guessed it, but the action menu should be used for actions instead of navigation ;)
-
reporter This will be tackled after the UI is in a stable state. Basically we will need to replace the four root activities:
- NewsFeed
- Profile
- My Businesses
with fragments.
Following #42 will make this much easier.

reporter Actually on that note.. and with the understanding that this very comment makes this a "hero" issue (my bad). We can leverage the CardView from the v7 support library (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/CardView.html) to fit in better with android conventions.
-
reporter For this purpose we should use "support fragments"
Most of the views already follow the fragment + containing activity pattern, so this will not give problems.
