I have the new Navigation Drawer in my app and I want to change the navigation view menu items title text dynamically from code. I have watched many posts but I can't figure out, how can I do this. How can I achieve this correctly?
MainActivity.java
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
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.setDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
activity_main_drawer.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item android:id="@+id/nav_camara" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_camera"
android:title="Import" />
<item android:id="@+id/nav_gallery" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:title="Gallery" />
<item android:id="@+id/nav_slideshow" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_slideshow"
android:title="Slideshow" />
<item android:id="@+id/nav_manage" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_manage"
android:title="Tools" />
</group>
<item android:title="Communicate">
<menu>
<item android:id="@+id/nav_share" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_share"
android:title="Share" />
<item android:id="@+id/nav_send" android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_send"
android:title="Send" />
</menu>
</item>
You can change the title of Navigation Menu Item programmatically by adding following lines in MainActivity.java
file.
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
...
//other stuff here
...
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
// get menu from navigationView
Menu menu = navigationView.getMenu();
// find MenuItem you want to change
MenuItem nav_camara = menu.findItem(R.id.nav_camara);
// set new title to the MenuItem
nav_camara.setTitle("NewTitleForCamera");
// do the same for other MenuItems
MenuItem nav_gallery = menu.findItem(R.id.nav_gallery);
nav_gallery.setTitle("NewTitleForGallery");
// add NavigationItemSelectedListener to check the navigation clicks
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
This works fine for me. Hope it'll help you.
Change the code like below in case you rename or remove item from navigation menu drawer list
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
if (navigationView != null) {
Menu menu = navigationView.getMenu();
menu.findItem(R.id.nav_profile).setTitle("My Account");
menu.findItem(R.id.nav_mng_task).setTitle("Control Task");
//menu.findItem(R.id.nav_pkg_manage).setVisible(false);//In case you want to remove menu item
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}
This code can be used to add menus dynamically. it worked for me... the main part of the code is the displayItems();.....pass the String[] of items as a parameter to the function....it works.
public class Courses extends AppCompatActivity
implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {
TextView nn,ne,np,nl;
SharedPreferences sp;
NavigationView navigationView;
DrawerLayout drawer;
ImageView img;
NavigationView nv;
int id;
String[] acc={"ACPFAT","CPFA","Tally.ERP 9 Simplified","D P F A","CA Articles","DAA","TFAP","Tally.ERP 9 - Specialization","GST (Goods and service Tax)"};
drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.setDrawerTitle(Gravity.CENTER,n);
ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, toolbar,
R.string.navigation_drawer_open,R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
toggle.syncState();
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
Intent i=getIntent();
id=i.getIntExtra("button",0);
switch(id)
{
case R.id.account:
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.acc);
displayItems(acc);
break;
case R.id.modular:
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.acc);
displayItems(mod);
break;
case R.id.diploma:
img.setImageResource(R.drawable.acc);
displayItems(dc);
break;
}
public void displayItems(String[] a)
{
final NavigationView navigationView=findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
final DrawerLayout drawer=findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
Menu menu=navigationView.getMenu();
SubMenu sb=menu.addSubMenu("Courses");
int i=0;
while(i<a.length)
{
sb.add(a[i]);
i++;
}
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_menus);
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
Menu menu = navigationView.getMenu();
MenuItem nav_login = menu.findItem(R.id.nav_logout);
nav_login.setTitle("Login");
}
This is correct! Hope this is running fine......
