I was going to use NavigationView instead of rolling my own in my DrawerLayout, but instead of using NavView's menu structure I am using my own ListView within the NavView tag. IOW, I do have an app:headerLayout in NavView but do not have an app:menu attribute.
This works as far as the drawer opening and closing and shows my list as expected with the two following glitches: it slides in below my ActionBar and the header is not displayed. The header is in the layout and I can find its IDs, but it is not shown.
So is what I am trying to do possible? The only real reason I am trying to use NavView is that it handles the drawer width properly, but I can live without that if I can't get the rest of it to display as I wish.
May be you can use listview inside the navigationView

you can not use app:header and app:menu as you are using listview. You have to create header manually.

In Swift, we can use a Library called "SideMenu" to show a viewController on the SideMenu.
Now, I'm coding in Android. I want to display activity in the NavigationView we can only display a Menu or header.
I cannot show an activity or fragment on the NavigationView.
Can you help me or give me some advice about this problem?

Android app can display one activity at once (it's changed recently but in your scenario it's still true). In your case you should inflate View or Fragment. Just put your layout or fragment inside NavigationView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.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/app_bar_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<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"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer">
<TextView
android:text="Custom View"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView>
</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>
NavigationView extends FrameLayout so if you will inflate menu it will overlap. Because of that you may want to delete:
app:headerLayout="#layout/nav_header_main"
app:menu="#menu/activity_main_drawer"
If you are using the android navigation component you can see the full detailed information to achieve this and replacing the fragments to corresponding to user clicks/choices drawer layout with navigation component
if you aren't using the android navigation component and just using the drawer layout you can see this drawer layout
I'm creating a project with Navigation Drawer Menu in Android, however, so far the menu only shows an icon and title in the menu.
How do I change the whole menu item to become an image with text inside?
Currently: the menu is:
However, I would prefer it to be like this:
You should use listview or recycler view in your NavigationView like this:
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="#+id/Mainheader"
layout="#layout/nav_header" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/exp_navigationmenu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
After that, set data in Listview.
You may use NavigationView#addHeaderView(View) API and provide your custom view as a content of NavigationView.
The alternative is to use app:headerLayout="#layout/your_layout" through xml.
I have a custom View within the NavigationView. The problem is no matter in what combination, fitsSystemWindows is not working within the NavigationView. and the top item in the drawer always stays behind the transcludent statusbar.
main_layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
navigation_main_drawer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/default_margin">

So, if I've understood correctly, you want your custom view to get the necessary padding so that its contents are not clipped by the status bar right?
If that's the case then you need to set
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
in your root DrawerLayout, and then set
android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
in your NavigationView component. Note that's false, not true :)
REASONING:
The new NavigationView component designed by Google uses the 'fitsSystemWindows' property to customize how its content relates to the status bar. Note that "customize" here is the key word, because the hardcoded behaviour for this particular component is that its contents should overlap the status bar and reach the top of the screen, while the status bar itself should be transparent to allow the drawer's content to be seen through it. This is specified as part of the new Material Design, as can be seen in https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/navigation-drawer.html.
So, the only way to disable this behaviour is to tell the NavigationView to not signal the fitsSystemWindow property, and only set this in the root DrawerLayout that contains all other views, which will do what you would expect and pad all its children views appropriately.
Note that this reasoning is confirmed also by this comment from Android developer Ian Lake in a blog post talking about this specific property.
P.S.
I would also remove all mentions to the 'fitsSystemWindows' property in all the child elements in your navigation_main_drawer XML, just in case, although it probably does have no effect whatsoever as it is..
How can I customize a ListView in a Navigation Drawer, like the one in the 2nd picture here.
You can use NavigationView of Android Design Support Library (see: Android Developers Blog).
With NavigationView, you don't have to use ListView any more. You can populate the drawer menu simply with menu.xml.
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<!-- your content layout -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="#layout/drawer_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
I am using Androidhibe NavigationDrawer and SwipeTab with Custom Action Bar as seen here:
http://www.androidhive.info/2013/11/android-sliding-menu-using-navigation-drawer/
The NavigationDrawer is shown over the ViewPager (below the ActionBar) but I would like it to show on top of the ActionBar. How can I achieve that affect?
You can use Toolbar instead of ActionBar to achieve that.
Here is a blog post that may help you from switching over to Toolbar.
The XML for your MainActivity would look something like this:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar"/>
<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
the container. -->
<fragment android:id="#+id/navigation_drawer"
android:layout_width="#dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:name="com.example.app.NavigationDrawerFragment"
tools:layout="#layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The XML for my Toolbar looked like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"/>
I struggled with it at first, but once I switched over to using Toolbar the Navigation Drawer overlayed the Toolbar just like I wanted. If the blog post and sample code here is not enough, just let me know and I can continue to help you through it.
