How to control views inside NavigationView Header in Android

Anonymous User 1907 12 Jan 2016
I want to implement  if there is any way to control views inside the NavigationView header? (Except for adding or removing header.)

For example: In the header, I have a user avatar. By default, it displays a guest image, but after the user logs in, the real avatar will be showed.

How can this be accomplished?

Sure, here are the steps on how to control views inside navigation view header in Android:

  1. Get the navigation view header using the getHeaderView() method.
  2. Get the view that you want to control from the header.
  3. Use the setXXX() methods to set the properties of the view.
  4. 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!");
    }
}

In this example, we get the navigation view header and the text view from the header. Then, we set the text of the text view to "Hello, world!".

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()
