Add item at bottom of navigation drawer
I'm a newbie on android studio and I've been trying to learn how to use the navigation drawer layout. I'm using the standard template for Nav Drawer, and wanted to add an item at the bottom of the menu, like this:
at first i thought that the items in the drawer were inside a LinearLayout and it would be fairly easy to do what i want, but the xml code looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_camera"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_camera"
android:title="OP1" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_gallery"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:title="OP2" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_slideshow"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
android:title="OP3" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_manage"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_manage"
android:title="OP4" />
</group>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_logout"
android:title="Log out" />
</group>
is there a way to make the group containing the logout item to be at the bottom? Thanks in advance for your answers!
Try this
Remove this part
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_logout"
android:title="Log out" />
</group>
then go to your layout where the navigation view is located.
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/navigationView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_account_navigation"
app:menu="@menu/menu_lender_nav">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/logout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Log out" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
