I am using navigation activity in Android studio. I have tried code below:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#drawable/sidebar_bg"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:itemIconTint="#color/color_white_transperntdark"
app:itemTextColor="#color/color_white_transperntdark"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
But below I need a kind of selector having some color and white vertical line. So give me a hint:
Means default all icon are in red color and on selection it should become black.I am able to change the text color on selection?
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/abc_action_bar_default_height_material"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:itemTextColor="#drawable/click_nav_item_change_color"
app:menu="#menu/activity_course_screen_drawer"
tools:overide="true" />
I am creating default Navigation Drawer Activity for my project. I would like set my left navigation bar transparent. Do you have any ideas how to do it?
change the the background code of NaviagtionView and him transparent
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main3"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main3_drawer" />
I have an app with a Navigation View for my DrawerLayout. I add programmatically items in the menu because I receive the information over the network. But sometimes, an item name can be very long and is just cut off with even having the ellipsize icon "..."
Does someone have an idea on how to have multiline for my menu items?
Thanks
Override design_navigation_menu_item.xml from the Android Support Design Library and modify the things you need (set android:ellipsize="end" and android:maxLines="2")
Your res/layout/design_navigation_menu_item.xml should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<CheckedTextView
android:id="#+id/design_menu_item_text"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawablePadding="#dimen/design_navigation_icon_padding"
android:gravity="center_vertical|start"
android:textAppearance="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body2"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="2" />
<ViewStub
android:id="#+id/design_menu_item_action_area_stub"
android:inflatedId="#+id/design_menu_item_action_area"
android:layout="#layout/design_menu_item_action_area"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</merge>
However, you should just ellipsize the text to properly follow the Material Design guidelines.
You have not to override anything to just ellipsize the text:
Add a new style to the styles.xml
Set the new style to the NavigationView
res / values / styles.xml
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
</style>
res / layout / activity_main.xml
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer"
app:theme="#style/TextAppearance" />
Just add app:itemMaxLines="2" attribute on the NavigationView tag like this:
<com.google.android.mayerial.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer"
app:itemMaxLines="2" />
NOTE: Material dependency is--
implementation 'com.google.android.material.material:1.0.0'
Add a style to your NavigationDrawer and then include 2 lines in the style.
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#drawable/estilo"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:itemTextColor="#color/white"
app:theme="#style/NavigationDrawerStyle"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
<style name="NavigationDrawerStyle">
<item name="android:lines">2</item>
</style>
Check out this answer. Default android slide menu is not very flexible, most likely you will have to create your custom view.
I really this tutorial from AndroidHive.
I had the same problem and I tried and tried, There was no progress with Menu, I don't say it was impossible but I couldn't find a way to break MenuItem lines.
But if you don't insist on using Menu I suggest you to use a ListView or RecyclerView in your layout like this:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_draw_header">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/rv"
android:layout_marginTop="160dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
As you can see there is no special thing to explain, no menu, just a RecyclerView, layout_marginTop value is same as header height, I'm sure you know the rest of the story (How to fire up RecyclerView), This approach gives more flexibility to NavigationView menu items (actually RecyclerView items).
If my answer is not clear enough to you let me know.
Here is the result:
You shouldn't change that.
Check out the material design guideline: https://material.io/design/components/navigation-drawer.html#anatomy
Add a style in your NavigationDrawer that declares the number of lines as 'two', like so:
<style name="NavigationDrawerStyle">
<item name="android:lines">2</item>
</style>
and in your view:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#drawable/estilo"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:itemTextColor="#color/white"
app:theme="#style/NavigationDrawerStyle"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer" />
I have three groups in my NavigationDrawer, two of which have to stay white and the other one has to become gray.
I have seen many people say that it would be better to use a ListView to do this but I wonder if its possible with a menu?
You can provide the background color to your navigationView like below:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/adcl_navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="#color/app_white"
app:headerLayout="#layout/drawer_header_layout"
app:itemIconTint="#color/app_secondary_text"
app:itemTextColor="#color/app_secondary_text"
app:menu="#menu/menu_drawer"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
And if you want to change Single item background color then use:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:itemBackground="#drawable/my_ripple"
app:itemIconTint="#2196f3"
app:itemTextColor="#009688"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_view" />
