My code works perfectly: every time an item in Navigation Drawer is clicked the item is selected.
Of course I want to start the app with a default fragment (home), but Navigation Drawer doesn't have the item selected. How can I select that item programmatically?
public class BaseApp extends AppCompatActivity {
//Defining Variables
protected String LOGTAG = "LOGDEBUG";
protected Toolbar toolbar;
protected NavigationView navigationView;
protected DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
private DateManager db = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.base_layout);
navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
// set the home/dashboard at startup
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame, new DashboardFragment());
fragmentTransaction.commit();
setNavDrawer();
}
private void setNavDrawer(){
// Initializing Toolbar and setting it as the actionbar
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
//Initializing NavigationView
//Setting Navigation View Item Selected Listener to handle the item click of the navigation menu
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
// This method will trigger on item Click of navigation menu
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
//Checking if the item is in checked state or not, if not make it in checked state
// I THINK THAT I NEED EDIT HERE...
if (menuItem.isChecked()) menuItem.setChecked(false);
else menuItem.setChecked(true);
//Closing drawer on item click
drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
//Check to see which item was being clicked and perform appropriate action
switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
//Replacing the main content with ContentFragment
case R.id.home:
DashboardFragment dashboardFragment = new DashboardFragment();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame, dashboardFragment,"DASHBOARD_FRAGMENT");
fragmentTransaction.commit();
return true;
[...]
I think that I need to edit here:
if (menuItem.isChecked()) menuItem.setChecked(false);
else menuItem.setChecked(true);
Or in onCreate
at App startup with FragmentTransaction.
Thank you for your support.

Make a selector for Individaual item of Nav Drawer
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@color/darkBlue" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@color/darkBlue" android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@color/textBlue" />
</selector>
Make a few changes in your NavigationView
<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/drawer_item"
android:background="@color/textBlue"
app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
app:itemTextColor="@color/white"
app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"
/>
When using BottomNavigationView
the other answers such as navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(true);
and
navigationView.setCheckedItem(id);
won't work calling setSelectedItemId
works:
BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation_view);
bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
// TODO: 10-Aug-19 your code here
}
});
bottomNavigationView.setSelectedItemId(R.id.myitem);
This is my solution, very simple.
Here is my menu.xml file:
<group
android:id="@+id/grp1"
android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_all_deals"
android:checked="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_all_deals"
android:title="@string/all_deals" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_news_and_events"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_news"
android:title="@string/news_and_events" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_histories"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_histories"
android:title="@string/histories" />
</group>
Above menu will highlight the first menu item. Below line will do something(eg: show the first fragment, etc). NOTE: write after 'configure your drawer code'
onNavigationItemSelected(mNavigationView.getMenu().getItem(0));
navigationView.setCheckedItem(id);
This method was introduced in API 23.0.0
<?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:ignore="UnusedIds">
<group
android:id="@+id/group"
android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_nav_home"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_home_black_24dp"
android:title="@string/menu_nav_home" />
</group>
</menu>
Note: android:checkableBehavior="single"
See also this
Easiest way is to select it from xml as follows,
<menu>
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:checked="true"
android:id="@+id/nav_home"
android:icon="@drawable/nav_home"
android:title="@string/main_screen_title_home" />
Note the line android:checked="true"
You can both highlight and select the item with the following 1-liner:
navigationView.getMenu().performIdentifierAction(R.id.posts, 0);
Following code will only make menu item selected:
navigationView.setCheckedItem(id);
To select and open the menu item, add following code after the above line.
onNavigationItemSelected(navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0));
For me both these methods didn't work:
navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(true);
navigationView.setCheckedItem(id);
Try this one, it works for me.
onNavigationItemSelected(navigationView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.nav_profile));
There are always problems with Googles "oh so great" support libs. If you want to check an item without downgrading your support libs version, just set checkable before setting checked state.
MenuItem item = drawer.getMenu().findItem(R.id.action_something);
item.setCheckable(true);
item.setChecked(true);
It might also work if you set checkable in the menu xml files
For some reason it's preferable to find the MenuItem using the ID's.
drawer.getMenu().findItem(R.id.action_something).setChecked(true);
on your activity(behind the drawer):
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
this, drawer, toolbar,
R.string.navigation_drawer_open,
R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.nav_portfolio);
onNavigationItemSelected(navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0));
}
and
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle navigation view item clicks here.
int id = item.getItemId();
Fragment fragment = null;
if (id == R.id.nav_test1) {
fragment = new Test1Fragment();
displaySelectedFragment(fragment);
} else if (id == R.id.nav_test2) {
fragment = new Test2Fragment();
displaySelectedFragment(fragment);
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
and in your menu:
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_test1"
android:title="@string/test1" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_test2"
android:title="@string/test2" />
</group>
so first menu is highlight and show as default menu.
you can do this,
nav_view.getMenu().findItem(R.id.menutem).setChecked(true)
Below code is used to selected the first item and highlight the selected first item in the menu.
onNavigationItemSelected(mNavigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(true));
Example (NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener):
private void setFirstItemNavigationView() {
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.custom_id);
navigationView.getMenu().performIdentifierAction(R.id.custom_id, 0);
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setFirstItemNavigationView();
}
@SuppressWarnings("StatementWithEmptyBody")
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.custom_id:
Fragment frag = new CustomFragment();
// update the main content by replacing fragments
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.viewholder_container, frag)
.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN)
.addToBackStack(null)
.commit();
break;
}
Tks
API 23 provides the following method:
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.nav_item_id);
However, for some reason this function did not cause the code behind the navigation item to run. The method certainly highlights the item in the navigation drawer, or 'checks' it, but it does not seem to call the OnNavigationItemSelectedListener
resulting in a blank screen on start-up if your start-up screen depends on navigation drawer selections. It is possible to manually call the listener, but it seems hacky:
if (savedInstanceState == null) this.onNavigationItemSelected(navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0));
The above code assumes:
NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener
in your activitynavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
First of all create colors for selected item. Here https://stackoverflow.com/a/30594875/1462969 good example. It helps you to change color of icon. For changing background of all selected item add in your values\style.xml file this
<item name="selectableItemBackground">@drawable/selectable_item_background</item>
Where selectable_item_background should be declared in drawable/selectable_item_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@color/accent_translucent"
android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
</selector>
Where color can be declared in style.xml
<color name="accent_translucent">#80FFEB3B</color>
And after this
// The main navigation menu with user-specific actions
mainNavigationMenu_ = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.main_drawer);
mainNavigationMenu_.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
mainNavigationMenu_.getMenu().findItem(itemId).setChecked(true);
return true;
}
});
As you see I used this mainNavigationMenu_.getMenu().findItem(itemId).setChecked(true); to set selected item. Here navigationView
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/main_drawer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
app:headerLayout="@layout/header_main_navigation_menu"
app:itemIconTint="@color/state_list"
app:itemTextColor="@color/primary"
app:menu="@menu/main_menu_drawer"/>
You have to call 2 functions for this:
First: for excuting the commands you have implemented in onNavigationItemSelected
listener:
onNavigationItemSelected(navigationView.getMenu().getItem(R.id.nav_camera));
Second: for changing the state of the navigation drawer menu item to selected (or checked):
navigationView.setCheckedItem(R.id.nav_camera);
I called both functions and it worked for me.
