Question

Anonymous User · Accepted Answer

After the new support library update (23.1.1),

You could do this -

View header = navigationView.getHeaderView(0)
TextView text = (TextView) header.findViewById(R.id.textView);

or if you have multiple headers

navigationView.getHeaderCount()

Get the navigation view header using the getHeaderView() method.Get the view that you want to control from the header.Use the setXXX() methods to set the properties of the view.For example, to set the text of a text view, you would use the setText() method.
Here is an example of how to control views inside navigation view header in Android:
Code snippet
import android.support.design.widget.NavigationView;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // Get the navigation view header.
        NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
        // Get the text view from the header.
        TextView textView = (TextView) navigationView.getHeaderView(0).findViewById(R.id.textView);
        // Set the text of the text view.
        textView.setText("Hello, world!");
    }
}
