I have seen this questions at many places but everywhere they have used a custom listview inside the navigation menu.
My code for navigationview is 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"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_insta_drawer"
app:menu="#menu/activity_insta_drawer_drawer" />
where my #menu/activity_insta_drawer_drawer is like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_applnform"
android:icon="#drawable/application_form"
android:title="Application Form"
android:checkable="true"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_penddocs"
android:icon="#drawable/pending_doc"
android:title="Pending Documents"
/>
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_viewdocs"
android:icon="#drawable/view_doc"
android:title="View Documents" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_payfee"
android:icon="#drawable/pay_free"
android:title="Pay Fee" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_refereedetail"
android:icon="#drawable/refree_detail"
android:title="Referee Details" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_informcorner"
android:icon="#drawable/information"
android:title="Information Corner" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_changepass"
android:icon="#drawable/change_pass"
android:title="Change Password" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_postquery"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_send"
android:title="Post Query" />
</group>
</menu>
code for navigationview :
navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
How to i change the selected item of the menu?
Finally after trying out everything i got the answer
You must change the colorAccent in the colors file to which ever color you want :
<color name="colorAccent">whichever color required</color>
This solution worked for me
Try to change your NavigationView like below with adding app:itemTextColor="#drawable/nav_draw_selector" to change navigation menu text color:
<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:itemTextColor="#drawable/nav_draw_selector"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_insta_drawer"
app:menu="#menu/activity_insta_drawer_drawer" />
nav_header_insta_drawer.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#4281ca" android:state_checked="true" /> <!-- This is the default text color -->
<item android:color="#DEDEDE" />
</selector>

Can I know why the texts inside the navigation drawer are not the same?

</menu>
</item>
</menu>
Notice some items have bold texts and some items have regular texts.
Why is that happening?
I'm using Material Design 3.
The solution
<style name="styleName" parent="TextAppearance.Material3.LabelLarge">
<item name="fontFamily">#font/font_regular</item>
</style>
Then add this inside NavigationView
app:itemTextAppearance="#style/styleName"
I tried to set margin to default navigation drawer's "divider" attribute. I found many approach in Stackoverflow form but none of the answers are adequate.
I could create a custom navigation drawer list without using /menu/activity_main_drawer.xml. That looks like what I want. But I have concerns about the performance of the application.
I want to add margin to default divider. Is there a way to customize default navigation drawer divider?
That is my customized divider. Everything is perfect.
That is the default navigation drawer's divider which I could not give any margin.

I know it's been a while, but for anyone that might stumble upon this, I had the same issue and resolved it like this.
Where you define the navigation view, you can just set padding horizontal, which will set a padding for the entire navigation view. This will apply to the dividers as well.
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigationView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingHorizontal="24dp">
You can create a drawable named menu_divider.xml in your resources folder:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#c0c0c0"
android:left="16dp"
android:right="16dp" />
and set your navigation view to use it:
<style name="ThemeOverlay.App.NavigationView" parent="">
<item name="android:listDivider">#drawable/menu_divider</item>
</style>
Just add this in the drawer layout:
app:dividerInsetEnd="25dp"
app:dividerInsetStart="57dp"
Like below:
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/nav_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:dividerInsetEnd="25dp"
app:dividerInsetStart="57dp"
app:elevation="32dp"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:itemIconTint="#color/gray"
app:itemTextColor="#color/gray"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer">
Given a NavigationView with a section with sub menu items like this:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:title="Sub items">
<menu>
<item android:title="Sub item 1" />
<item android:title="Sub item 2" />
</menu>
</item>
</menu>
Question: How do I change the background color of the Sub items row?
In my experiments, it looks like the color used for the sub menu header row/item is the same as the background color of the NavigationView (android:backgroundTint and android:background) but I have not found a way to specify the two separately. I need the background color to be one color and the sub menu header row/item another color.
itemBackground, itemIconTint and itemTextColor are simple xml-attributes that can be set, though you have to use a custom prefix instead of the android: one.
Example
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- Other layout views -->
<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" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Example
Create a new *.xml file in /res/color - let's name it state_list.xml - with the following content:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is used when the Navigation Item is checked -->
<item android:color="#009688" android:state_checked="true" />
<!-- This is the default text color -->
<item android:color="#E91E63" />
</selector>
and the simply reference it like this: app:itemTextColor="#color/state_list"
The same goes for itemIconTint. itemBackground expects a resource id.
use compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
<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_header_main_navigation"
app:itemBackground="#drawable/nav_view_item_background"
app:itemTextColor="#color/nav_item_text_color"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_navigation_drawer" />
uses to the following XML file for item backgroud: nav_view_item_background.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/colorPrimary" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:drawable="#android:color/transparent" />
uses to the following XML file for Text Color: nav_item_text_color
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#color/white" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:color="#android:color/black" />
I have searched all things and experimented but not luck with NavigationView.
itemIconTint, itemTextColor and itemBackground working with ripple effect. but problem is state selected not working in selector drawable
I have also created drawable-v21 and put ripple_navigation_selector.xml
My goal is when open drawer again previous selected item should be in
yellow color eg. Notifications item
NavigationView inside main_layout.xml
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:background="#color/black"
app:headerLayout="#layout/header"
app:itemIconTint="#drawable/navigation_view_icon_tint_selector"
app:itemTextColor="#drawable/navigation_view_text_selector"
app:menu="#menu/drawer"
app1:itemBackground="#drawable/ripple_navigation_selector"
/>
ripple_navigation_selector.xml inside drawable-v21
<item
android:id="#android:id/mask"
android:drawable="#drawable/navigation_selector"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/navigation_selector"/>
navigation_selector.xml inside drawable-v21
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#color/left_light_yellow" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#color/left_light_yellow" android:state_activated="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#color/left_light_yellow" android:state_checked="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#android:color/black"></item>
color string named left_light_yellow
<color name="left_light_yellow">#F6CE20</color>
I think you have to make your menu items checkable
<item
android:id="#+id/wishlist"
android:checkable="true"
android:title="Wishlist" />
Why do you have app1?
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:background="#color/black"
app:headerLayout="#layout/header"
app:itemIconTint="#drawable/navigation_view_icon_tint_selector"
app:itemTextColor="#drawable/navigation_view_text_selector"
app:menu="#menu/drawer"
app1:itemBackground="#drawable/ripple_navigation_selector"
/>
I think that if you remove the "1" it should work:
...
app:itemBackground="#drawable/ripple_navigation_selector"
/>
I'm designing a native navigation drawer in Android Studio.
I can't see the drawer in my preview because it is sitting left of the activity, out of range of the preview.
For now I'm using a testlayout.xml file to see my changes, but a lot of times I forget to copy paste them into the right activity.
Is there a way to preview the drawer layout?
If you want to be able to preview the drawer layout / navigation bar
If you are following the tutorial at https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/nav-drawer.html
You can put your listview for the nav drawer in a different xml file in the /layout folder, then include it in the drawer layout xml. Means you can edit it in the drawer_layout file and be able to see it properly
layout/drawer_layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/left_drawer"
android:layout_width="280dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:background="#color/nav_drawer_background_color"/>
Then in the navbar
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- The main content view -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/content_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<include
android:id="#+id/listView"
layout="#layout/drawer_layout"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
To see NavigationView preview add tools namespace to your drawer layout:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
then add attribute tools:openDrawer equal to gravity of layout_gravity value of your Navigation view, for example
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:openDrawer="left">
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
app:headerLayout="#layout/navigation_header_main"
app:itemTextAppearance="#style/NavigationItemStyleLight"
app:menu="#menu/navigation_main_menu"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:showIn="navigation_view">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_camera"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_camera"
android:title="Import" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_gallery"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:title="Gallery" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_slideshow"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
android:title="Slideshow" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_manage"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_manage"
android:title="Tools" />
</group>
<item android:title="Communicate">
<menu>
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_share"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_share"
android:title="Share" />
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_send"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_send"
android:title="Send" />
</menu>
</item>
Just Add
tools:showIn="navigation_view"
You can use NavigationView to get its preview on AndroidStudio, Its much better and easier to implement then the old NavigationDrawer.
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:openDrawer="start">
<include
layout="#layout/prof_app_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<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:itemTextColor="#color/text_head_color"
app:itemIconTint="#null"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main2"
app:menu="#menu/professional_menu" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Define the menu in navigationmenu.xml place it in menu resource folder:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single"
android:id="#+id/top_menu">
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_setting"
android:icon="#drawable/accountsettings"
android:title="#string/paccount_settingss" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_expertise"
android:icon="#drawable/professional"
android:title="#string/pexpertise" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_comu"
android:icon="#drawable/communication"
android:title="#string/pcomunication" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_change_pass"
android:icon="#drawable/changepasswd"
android:title="#string/pchange_pass" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_change_lang"
android:icon="#drawable/changelang"
android:title="#string/pchange_lang"
android:visible="true"/>
</group>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single"
android:id="#+id/middle_menu">
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_about_us"
android:icon="#drawable/aboutus"
android:title="#string/about_us" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_feedback"
android:icon="#drawable/feedback"
android:title="#string/feedback"
android:visible="false"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/nav_privacy_policy"
android:icon="#drawable/privacy"
android:title="#string/privacy_policy" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_faq"
android:icon="#drawable/faq"
android:visible="false"
android:title="#string/faq" />
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_contact_us"
android:icon="#drawable/contactus"
android:title="#string/contact_us" />
</group>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single"
android:id="#+id/bottom_menu">
<item
android:id="#+id/pnav_sign_out"
android:icon="#drawable/signout"
android:title="#string/sign_out" />
</group>
</menu>
And, for getting click events use this:-
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(yourItemclickListener);
